Enabling/disabling shaders?
Author
Well, I used the NeHe OpenGL basecode to use while I learn cg Shaders. Well, everything works okay. I'm using the GLEW library.
Anyhow, I can write a vertex/fragment shader that just deals with a plain, uncolored polygon, and one that deals with colored polygons. And I'm working on learning more about manipulating polygons, and using textures and lighting.
Anyhow, I tested a simple toon shader that I found. I used a 'GLUquadric' object to create a sphere to test the shader. But I also added a cylinder. And I want to know how I would assign the shader to the sphere, but "disable" the shader when I draw the cylinder.
I mean, how do I "call" the shader when I draw the sphere, and then "uncall" (LoL =P) the shader when I draw the cylinder. I thought maybe calling "glUseProgram(p);" then "glUseProgram(NULL);", but of course that didn't work.
And while I'm on the subject of shaders, does anyone know where I can find some tutorials on them? Just beginner tutorials, that are explained at least fairly well.
Thanks in advance,
Matt U.
Well if you are using a different shader per object then you should be able to do this to setup and shutdown the shader if not something else is wrong.
