I load an bitmapfont (as png image) in my openGL Application to render characters from there at a fixed size. That's working. But: If I want to scale some glyphs at a smaller size it doesnt look great. Is there a way - without using pregenerated mipmaps (I have a big bunch of several characters and need stepless sizes) to scale this more beautiful? Some way of interpolation or something?
At the moment I use something like this (C/C++ on Mac OS X):
glPopMatrix();
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture->getID());
glScalef(0.7f, 0.7f, 0); //scale here a size
{draw vertexes & set texcoords}
glDisable(GL_BLEND);
glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
glPushMatrix();
Any suggestion?
Did you try using Linear filtering on your textures?:
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
This after binding textures.

Recently my textures went crazy. Last 2 textures that I tried to map appeared as in the picture below. I want it to appear as in the first picture but no matter what I did, it insists on appearing like in the latter one. Ignore the text please, it has nothing to do with texture.
I am using GLUT for my openGL windowing, and GLM obj loader's tga reader. I used the reader many times before and there was no problem. It just stopped working for my last two attempts to load texture. The related code is below:
Texture onScreenTexture;
if (LoadTGA(&onScreenTexture, "back.tga"))
{
glGenTextures(1, &onScreenTexture.texID);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, onScreenTexture.texID);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, onScreenTexture.bpp / 8, onScreenTexture.width, onScreenTexture.height, 0, onScreenTexture.type, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, onScreenTexture.imageData);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_REPEAT);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_REPEAT);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
if (onScreenTexture.imageData)
{
free(onScreenTexture.imageData);
}
}
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, onScreenTexture.texID);
glTexEnvf(GL_TEXTURE_ENV, GL_TEXTURE_ENV_MODE, GL_DECAL);
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
glTexCoord2f(0,0); glVertex2f(10.0, 10.0);
glTexCoord2f(0,1); glVertex2f(260, 10.0);
glTexCoord2f(1,1); glVertex2f(260, 110);
glTexCoord2f(1,0); glVertex2f(10.0, 110);
glEnd();
glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
This is nothing to do with the ratio of width/height (though you do seem to be rendering it 90 degrees rotated, causing some additional stretching), but with the packing of rows of pixels. This is apparent from the diagonal pattern, indicating an progressive alignment issue, and also the coloured stripes, showing that the RGB data is unaligned differently on each line.
In your case, you're loading a TGA, which has no row-padding, but passing it to GL which by default expects rows of pixels to be padded to a multiple of 4 bytes.
Your working textures probably are either 32-bit rather than 24-bit or are a multiple of 4 pixels wide, either of which gives a natural alignment.
Possible fixes for this are:
Change the dimensions of your texture, such that there will be no padding.
Change the loading of your texture, such that the padding is consistent with what GL expects
Tell GL how your texture is packed, using (for example) glPixelStorei(GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT, 1);
I'm working with sprite animation (OpenGL + C++).
I have some trouble working with blending.
I'm trying to load an image with a black background and draw it over another texture without a block of black appearing around the image. The image has Alpha channel and blending is enabled.
I tried playing with different blending functions. I either end up with a blocky image or a translucent image.
I know I can do it if I replace the black background with a transparent color instead using an image editing software, but I would like to get this working without that and without using an image mask.
An example to better understand my situation.
The image & Image over texture done incorrectly:
The way I want it to be:
Here is a bit of code that I'm using. I picked out what seemed to be most relevant since a lot of code is spread out over a few classes.
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
....
....
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
/*Drawing the image with black background first*/
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, blockImage);
glTexEnvf(GL_TEXTURE_ENV, GL_TEXTURE_ENV_MODE, GL_REPLACE);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glBlendFunc(GL_ONE, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
//drawing code
...
...
...
/*background texture is drawn last*/
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, bgImage);
glTexEnvf(GL_TEXTURE_ENV, GL_TEXTURE_ENV_MODE, GL_MODULATE);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glBlendFunc(GL_ONE, GL_DST_ALPHA);
//drawing code
...
glDisable(GL_BLEND);
glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
I don't really need the actual code to do this. A small explanation of the logic would suffice (order of drawing and blending).
OpenGL fixed-function pipeline has no builtin support for color keying. If you want to do it, you can write a shader to test the fragment's color and use the discard operation.
If you want to do this in fixed-function you'll have to properly use the alpha channel (make all the black area alpha = 0 in pre-processing).
I have created a png image in photoshop with transparencies that I have loaded into and OpenGL program. I have binded it to a texture and in the program the picture looks blurry and I'm not sure why.

OpenGL will (normally) require that the texture itself have a size that's a power of 2, so what's (probably) happening is that your texture is being scaled to a size where the dimensions are a power of 2, then it's being scaled back to the original size -- in the process of being scaled twice, you're losing some quality.
You apparently just want to display your bitmap without any scaling, without wrapping it to the surface of another object, or anything like that (i.e., any of the things textures are intended for). That being the case, I'd just display it as a bitmap, not a texture (e.g. see glRasterPos2i and glBitmap).
Why would you want to use mipmapping and anisotropic filtering for a static image on your start screen in the first place? It looks unlikely the image will be rotated (what anisotropic filtering is for) or has to be resized many times really fast (what mipmapping is for).
If the texture is being stretched: try using GL_NEAREST for your GL_MAG_FILTER, in this case it could give better results (GL_LINEAR is more accurate, but has a nature of blurring).
If the texture is minimized: same thing, try using GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_NEAREST, or even better, try using no mipmaps and GL_NEAREST (or GL_LINEAR, whichever gives you the best result).
I'd suggest that you make the png have a resolution in a power of 2's. Ie 1024x512 and place the part you want to drawn in the upper left corner of it still in the resolution for the screen. Then rescale the texcoords to be 800.0/1024.0 and 600.0/512.0 to get the right part from the texture. I belive that what is going on is glTexImage2D can sometime handle width and height that are not a power of 2 but can then scale the input image thus filter it.
An example of handling this can be viewed here (a iPhone - OpenGLES - project that grabs a screen part non-power of 2 and draws that into a 512x512 texture and rescales the GL_TEXTURE matrix, line 123, instead of doing a manual rescale of the texcoords)
Here is another post mentioning this method.
Here is an hypothesis:
Your window is 800x600 (and maybe your framebuffer too), but your client area is not, because of the window decoration on the sides.
So your frame-buffer gets resized when being blitted to the client area of your window. Can you check your window creation code ?
Beware of exact size of the client area of your window. Double check it is what you expect it to be
Beware of pixel alignment rules. You might need to add 0.5 to your x/y coordinates to hit the pixel centers. Description for DirectX can be found here - OpenGL rules may be different, though.
hello i want to use a texture on a cube (created by glutsolidcube()), how can i define where the texture is pictured at?
(for example on the "frontside" of a cube)
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture[0]);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, filterMode);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, filterMode);
glColor4f(0.8,0.7,0.11,1.0);
glPushMatrix();
glScalef(4, 1.2, 1.5);
glTranslatef( 0, 0.025, 0);
glutSolidCube(0.1);
glPopMatrix();
glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
thanks
Not possible, since glutSolidCube() only generates vertexes and normals, not texture coordinates.
However, there are workarounds.
Unfortunately, using glutSolidCube is impossible, as it doesn't support texturing. What I'd suggest is a tutorial that explains the process that may help you. It's a bit outdated, but NeHe's texturing tutorial has some code that explains how to draw a cube, and the code is commented to explain which side is which for you.
I have a problem with incorrect alpha blending results with openGL ES on iPhone.
This is my code for creating texture object:
glGenTextures(1, &tex_name);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, tex_name);
glTextImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA, tex_width, tex_height, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, tex_data);
'tex_data' is loaded from raw RGBA8888 data packed with zlib. It loads as it should, wich i've checked with a debugger.
This is my code for setting up texture before rendering:
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, tex_name);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexEnvi(GL_TEXTURE_ENV, GL_TEXTURE_ENV_MODE, GL_REPLACE);
I've uploaded a sample of what I've expected and what I've got here: sample . In the sample most of the texture in the bottom is pitch-black with 70% opacity. However openGL renders it as gray. This problem affects all of my textures I use blend with.
I've tested the code on windows with use of OGLES PVRVFrame and the results are as expected: black is rendered as black.
Found the problem. I've forgot to set opaque property of CAEAGLLayer of EAGLView to YES.
Will this help? glBlendFunc(GL_ONE, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA) I think this just blends the two instead of blending both against the background.
Sorry if I don't understand.
