I believe it more looks syntax call error than frame buffer problem. Your code:

gl.glBindFramebufferEXT(GL.GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, frameBufferID[0]);
gl.glClear(GL.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
gl.glPushAttrib(GL.GL_VIEWPORT_BIT); // <--- You saved viewport bits
gl.glViewport(0, 0, floorWidth, floorHeight);

gl.glBegin(GL.GL_QUADS);

gl.glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 0.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(-1, -1, 0);
gl.glTexCoord2f(0.0f, 1.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(-1, 1, 0);
gl.glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 1.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(1, 1, 0);
gl.glTexCoord2f(1.0f, 0.0f);
gl.glVertex3d(1, -1, 0);

gl.glEnd();


gl.glPopAttrib(); // <-- You restored previous attribute values (viewport bits)
gl.glBindFramebufferEXT(GL.GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, 0);

gl.glPopAttrib(); // <-- What it does restore???
gl.glBindFramebufferEXT(GL.GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, 0);

Best wishes, FXACE.

No the last two rows are a copy&paste error:

gl.glPopAttrib(); // <-- You restored previous attribute values (viewport bits)
gl.glBindFramebufferEXT(GL.GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, 0);

I would like to implement the approach of the virtual texturing.

I'm following the instructions of this thesis http://www.graphics....ring_low_03.pdf
I need what the author calls "Needbuffer" (pag 14).

I'm more or less at this point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ONYt4hbitFE
and using the information about the level of detail I would like to load a texture composed with different level of details like in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=YCZl16JMF08

Ok now I going to describe my situation:

In the screenshot there is my running program.

In this case I take what is rendered and I put all of it on a 2dtexture that I rendered on the left of the screen.

But I would like to put in the 2dtexture only the quad (that is the output of the shader); as you can see the output is a grid that represents a level of details based on the distance of the camera.
I would like to put that information on a texture in order to retrieve the level of details.

This is the fragmentShader:

[source lang="java"]#version 150out vec4 fragColor;varying vec4 clipPos;void main(){ vec2 tx=gl_TexCoord[0].xy;//vec2 tx = clipPos.xy / clipPos.w * 0.5 + vec2(0.5); // get the length of the texture derivatives float lambda_s = length(dFdx(tx)); float lambda_t = length(dFdy(tx)); // compute the sample level, based on the maximum derivative, and the interpolation factor between ceiled and floored level float level_s; float interp_s = modf(-log2(max(lambda_s, lambda_t)), level_s); // get the new texture coordinate by scaling the texture coordinate by the floored and ceiled level vec2 tx_down = tx * pow(2, level_s); vec2 tx_up = tx * pow(2, level_s + 1); // compute the color procedural vec2 highlight_down = clamp(cos(tx_down * 0.2) - 0.95, 0,1) * 10; vec2 highlight_up = clamp(cos(tx_up * 0.2) - 0.95, 0,1) * 10; // this might be faster, but it doesn't fade nicely... //float highlight_down = step(0.9, fract(tx_down * 0.04)) * 0.8; //float highlight_up = step(0.9, fract(tx_up * 0.04)) * 0.8; // lerp between the intensities fragColor = vec4(1 - clamp(mix( max(highlight_down.x, highlight_down.y), max(highlight_up.x, highlight_up.y), interp_s), 0,1));}[/source]

I mean
Ok I have the output of the shader in the quad.

But how can I use the information contained in that output?

For example I would like to use that information in order to retrieve the level of details of each pixel.
I would like to have a buffer and each element represents the level of detail of the corrensponding pixel.

Is it clear?

I have a question:
If I want to use the information contained in the output of the shader, how can I do that?

For example how can I convert the output of the shader in a texture?

I tried using glFramebufferTexture2DEXT, glBindFramebufferEXT, etc.. but in this case I have a texture with all the scene renderized, not just the output of the shader of the quad.
