Hi, I have a 2D texture, and I want to take a single component from that texture and perform a table lookup with it: uniform vec4 ctab[256]; uniform sampler2D DataTexture; void main() { vec4 data = texture2D(DataTexture, gl_TexCoord[0].st); float val = floor( data.r*255.0 + 0.5 ); int idx = int(val); if ( idx<0 ) idx=0; else if ( idx>255 ) idx=255; gl_FragColor = ctab[idx]; } The problem is that the ctab lookup does not work (I get a GL_INVALID_OPERATION error, and the shader does not run). I can hardcode any ctab lookup, e.g. gl_FragColor = ctab[0], with all values from 0 to 255. I can also do a: if ( idx==0 ) gl_FragColor = ctab[0]; else if ( idx==1 ) gl_FragColor = ctab[1]; for all 256 values (0 - 255), and that works, but I don't want to spend GPU time on such lookups. Any clue what could be wrong? /Kristofer

I don't know for sure, but I am thinking your hardware isn't capable or drivers are too old? On my 8800GTX it runs fine with 97.02 drivers. Using Render Monkey.

Yeah, are you sure your card allows that many (256*4) uniform variables? It might work when you hardcode the index because the compiler recognizes that you don't actually use the whole array and simplifies it. Try making the array smaller and see if that works, or use glGet with whatever the name is (GL_MAX_UNIFORMS or something to that effect).

I'm using an NV Geoforce 6600 card, with the 9631 driver. Could it be that my card is too weak?

I can have 512 uniforms, but I still have the problem if I reduce the array-size to 10. The data in the structures seem to be fine, as I can display each value through the hard-coded lookup.

Since the number of uniforms is a limit, I decided that I should't use an array, but a second texture. I can display any of the two textures individually, but as soon as I want to
combine the information from the two, it doesn't work (see code below). Any clue?

uniform sampler2D DataTexture;
uniform sampler1D ctab;

void main()
{
vec4 data = texture2D( DataTexture, gl_TexCoord[0].st );

gl_FragColor = texture1D( ctab, 0.5 ); //Works
gl_FragColor = texture1D( ctab, gl_TexCoord[0].t ); //Works
gl_FragColor = texture1D( ctab, gl_TexCoord[0].s ); //Works
gl_FragColor = texture1D( ctab, clamp(data.r,0.0,1.0) ); //Doesn't work
gl_FragColor = vec4( 0, data.r, 0, 1 ); //Works
gl_FragColor = vec4( 0, data.r,
texture1D( ctab, data.r ).r , 1 ); //Does not Work
}
