hi guys, the tite says it all : i cant manage to render to texture with an FBO. Here's the function in my code, i dont understand why it doesn't work. I only get the texture render to the whole quad, but not the triangle i draw in the RTT procedure ...


void DrawObject(void) {

  glClearColor(0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 0.5f);  /* Blue background */
  glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, TEX_OBJ_SOURCE_IMAGE );

  /* draw a simple triangle and bind texture coordinates */
  glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES);
  glTexCoord3f(0, 0, -1);
  glVertex3f(-0.8, 0.8, -1);

  glTexCoord3f(1, 0, -1);
  glVertex3f(0.8, 0.8, -1);

  glTexCoord3f(0.5, 1, -1);
  glVertex3f(0.0, -0.8, -1);
  glEnd();

}

void RenderToTexture (void) {

  // create objects
  glGenFramebuffersEXT(1, &myFBO);// frame buffer
  glBindFramebufferEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, myFBO);

  //initialize the texture to render to 
  glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, TEX_SCENE_SOURCE_IMAGE );
  glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA8, 
      SX, SY, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, NULL);

  // attach the texture to framebuffercolor buffer
  glFramebufferTexture2DEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT,
      GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0_EXT, GL_TEXTURE_2D, TEX_SCENE_SOURCE_IMAGE, 0);

  // (draw something here, rendering to texture)
  glPushAttrib(GL_VIEWPORT_BIT);
  glViewport(0,0,sourceW,sourceH);
  // Render as normal here
  // output goes to the FBO and it\u2019s attached buffers
  DrawObject();
  glPopAttrib();

  glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, TEX_SCENE_SOURCE_IMAGE );
  
  glBindFramebufferEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, 0);
  glDeleteFramebuffersEXT(1, &myFBO);
}
/*

 * */
void DrawGLScene(void) {

  CGpass pass;

  if ( t++ == 0) {
    printf("[+] Render To Texture ...\n");
    RenderToTexture(); 

  }

  pass = cgGetFirstPass(cgTechnique);
  while(pass) {
    cgSetPassState(pass);

    /* Draw the scene as a texture */
    glBegin(GL_QUADS);
    glTexCoord3f (0, 0, -1);
    glVertex3f	 (-1,1 , -1);

    glTexCoord3f (1, 0, -1);
    glVertex3f	 (1, 1, -1);

    glTexCoord3f (1, 1, -1);
    glVertex3f	 (1, -1, -1);

    glTexCoord3f (0, 1, -1);
    glVertex3f	 (-1, -1, -1);
    glEnd();

    cgResetPassState(pass);
    pass = cgGetNextPass(pass);
  }

  glutSwapBuffers();
  return;	
}

/*
 * Init the GL runtime
 * */
bool GLInit(void) {

  glClearColor(0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 0.5f);  /* Blue background */
  glPixelStorei(GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT, 1); /* Tightly packed texture data. */
  glClearDepth(1.0f);	
  glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);	

  glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, TEX_OBJ_SOURCE_IMAGE);

  //TO ADAPT IN OPTIM
  glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);// Linear Filtering
  glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);// Linear Filtering
  glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_DEPTH_TEXTURE_MODE, GL_INTENSITY);
  glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
  glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);

  glTexImage2D(
      GL_TEXTURE_2D,
      0,
      GL_RGBA8,
      sourceW,
      sourceH,
      0,
      GL_RGBA,
      GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, 
      data);

  return true;
}

what's wrong ? i'm lost ...how do you get this FBO to work ? thanks in advance. cheers

hello,

thank you! that helped a lot.

Still, i can't manage to do it :(

I see in your example links that there's a depth buffer involved, is this mandatory ? in my example i guess i don't need it (at least at that point)

Also, does glReadPixels() has to be used to do an RTT/FBO ? Where should i use it ?

Here's my code where i try to rtt, it still does not work since i see a black screen :((((( another problem is that i want to do a render-to-texture of a texture :/

/* DrawObject(void) is called by RenderToTexture()*/void DrawObject(void) {  glClearColor(0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 0.5f);  /* Blue background */  glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);    glViewport(0,0,sourceW,sourceH);   glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, TEX_OBJ_SOURCE_IMAGE );  glLoadIdentity();  /* draw a simple triangle and bind texture coordinates */  glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES);  glColor4f(1.0, 1.0, 0.0,.5f);    //glTexCoord3f(0, 0, -1);  glVertex3f(-0.8, 0.8, -1);  //glTexCoord3f(1, 0, -1);  glVertex3f(0.8, 0.8, -1);  //glTexCoord3f(0.5, 1, -1);  glVertex3f(0.0, -0.8, -1);  glEnd();  glViewport(0,0,SX,SY); }/*Render to texture*/void RenderToTexture (void) {   //initialize the texture to render to   glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, TEX_SCENE_SOURCE_IMAGE );  glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);  glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);  glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);  glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);  glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA8,       SX, SY, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, NULL);  glGenerateMipmapEXT(GL_TEXTURE_2D);     // create objects  glGenFramebuffersEXT(1, &myFBO);// frame buffer  glBindFramebufferEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, myFBO);  // attach the texture to framebuffercolor buffer  glFramebufferTexture2DEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT,      GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0_EXT, GL_TEXTURE_2D, TEX_SCENE_SOURCE_IMAGE, 0);  // (draw something here, rendering to texture)  DrawObject();    //Bind 0, which means render to back buffer  glBindFramebufferEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, 0);    glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, TEX_SCENE_SOURCE_IMAGE );}/* * main routine to display openGL scene * */void DrawGLScene(void) {  CGpass pass;  pass = cgGetFirstPass(cgTechnique);  while(pass) {    cgSetPassState(pass);      RenderToTexture();        cgResetPassState(pass);    pass = cgGetNextPass(pass);  }  glutSwapBuffers();  return;	}/* * Init the GL runtime * */bool GLInit(void) {  glClearColor(0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 0.5f);  /* Blue background */  glPixelStorei(GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT, 1); /* Tightly packed texture data. */  glClearDepth(1.0f);	  glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);	  glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, TEX_OBJ_SOURCE_IMAGE);  //TO ADAPT IN OPTIM  glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);// Linear Filtering  glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);// Linear Filtering  glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);  glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);  glTexImage2D(      GL_TEXTURE_2D,      0,      GL_RGBA8,      sourceW,      sourceH,      0,      GL_RGBA,      GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,       data);  glGenerateMipmapEXT(GL_TEXTURE_2D);  return true;}

thanks by advance .... i'm still lost :/

Like the example shows, you should check if everything went ok with glCheckFramebufferStatusEXT. You might want to insert some glGetError() as well.

This
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);

and this
glGenerateMipmapEXT(GL_TEXTURE_2D);

don't go together. If you need mipmaps, then it need to be
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR);

else no need for glGenerateMipmapEXT()

You have a RTT there, you are rendering to a texture.

Yes, OpenGL needs the depth buffer for depth test, even if you do not need it. For correct depth test, you also have to attach a depth buffer (e.g: a renderbuffer object) into the FBO.

I notice several issues in your code. Please check the following list:

DrawObject()
1. No projection setting. Add a valid projection, for example,
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
gluPerspective(90.0f, (float)sourceW/sourceH, 0.1f, 5.0f);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();

2. The winding of the triangle is clockwise. Change it to counter clock wise;
glVertex3f(-0.8f, 0.8f, -1.0f);
glVertex3f(0, -0.8f, -1.0f);
glVertex3f(0.8f, 0.8f, -1.0f);

3. Use the texture object ID that is created by OpenGL instead of using a constant, TEX_OBJ_SOURCE_IMAGE.

RenderToTexture()
1. It seems to me you call this function repeatedly. If so, create a FBO outside of this function once. (you create a FBO in this function, but you did not delete it.)

2. You must check the FBO completeness after attaching images as V-man mentioned;
GLenum status = glCheckFramebufferStatusEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT);
if(status == GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE_EXT)
{
// success
}
else
{
// failed
}

Also, there are some redundant OpenGL functions. Remove unnecessary calls.

hi guys,

thank you so much for your input !!

it now works :)))

I will post my code as soon as it's written clean :o

The main error was that i called the RenderToTexture() method outside the shader pass loop in DrawGLScene(). I've put RenderToTexture() inside the while(pass) and now ...tada!!

thanks again for all your advice!

more to come, soon ;)

cheers
