multiple FBOs bug
Author
I'm not sure what's going on but I have one FBO rendering a scene to a texture, then taking that texture, texturing a quad and rendering that to another texture, then taking that texture and rendering it finally to the screen. It seems, though, that at the beginning of my simulation the window flashes once on what objects are to be rendering but then goes black... It may have to do with ordering on rendering, but I didn't think it did. The only time I'm clearing the texture is right before having to render to it again, so I don't understand why my screen would be black
I think we're going to need to see some code to help you out, what you described sounds feasible enough.
This is probably more appropriate for the opengl forum anyway, as this sounds pretty API specific.

oh oops, sorry, can this can be moved to openGL please :) thanks
There's a lot of actual code though and a lot of OO-ness... Maybe pseudo code could work?
That's essentially how I have my engine structure.

foreach RenderTarget bindTarget foreach Camera rendering to this target SetViewport glClear RenderScene foreach Object foreach Material attached to object bindTexture render VBO glDrawBuffersThat's essentially how I have my engine structure.

Not promising that I myself can help you, but I'm going to guess that this isn't going to be enough. 90% of these issues come down to an incorrect API call, so I think you're going to at least need to get some real code down on the screen.

foreach RenderTarget glBindFramebufferEXT(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_EXT, m_bufferID); // m_bufferID is 0 if window foreach Camera rendering to this target glViewport(m_viewport.left, m_viewport.top, m_viewport.width, m_viewport.height); glScissor(m_viewport.left, m_viewport.top, m_viewport.width, m_viewport.height); glClearColor(m_clearColor.x, m_clearColor.y, m_clearColor.z, m_clearColor.w); glClearDepth(1.0f); glClearStencil(0); glClear( GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT | GL_STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT ); RenderScene foreach Object foreach Material attached to object glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_id); // some of these could be render targets render VBO glDrawBuffers( m_bufferList.size(), &m_bufferList[0]);I'm about 99% certain my FBOs are set up correctly because when I use only 2 rendertargets (the window, and a render texture) everything looks fine. The scene is rendered to the texture, then the texture is rendered to the screen just fine. As soon as I re-direct that texture to render to another texture, and then how THAT second texture render to the screen is when nothing shows up except for the first frame.

ummmm, so I definitely have this working now... NO idea why it didn't work before. All I simply did was create a VERY simple shader that basically just passed the same data along and now it works perfectly. Any idea why this is the case? Or should I just conclude that the fixed pipeline sucks. heh :P
