Hello guys.

I'm studying GLSL and had a question to apply more than one program.

Example, i have 2 GLSL:

Texture (Code 1):

Vertex:

varying vec2 coord;


void main(void)
{
  
   coord = gl_Vertex.xy;
   
   gl_Position = ftransform(); //gl_ProjectionMatrix *  (gl_ModelViewMatrix * gl_Vertex);
   
}

Frag:

uniform sampler2D text1;
varying vec2 coord;

void main(void)
{   
   
   
   vec4 color = texture2D(text1, coord); 
   gl_FragColor = color;
   
}

And i have the GLSL to light (Code 2):

Vertex:

varying vec3 normal;
varying vec4 pos;
varying vec4 rawpos;

void main() {
  normal = gl_NormalMatrix * gl_Normal;
  gl_Position = ftransform();
  pos = gl_ModelViewMatrix * gl_Vertex;
  rawpos = gl_Vertex;
  gl_TexCoord[0] = gl_TextureMatrix[0] * gl_MultiTexCoord0;
}

Frag:

varying vec3 normal;
varying vec4 pos;

void main() {
     vec4 color = vec4(1,0,0,1);
     vec4 matspec = vec4(1,1,0,1);
     float shininess = 512;
     vec4 lightspec = vec4(10,10,10,10);
     vec4 lpos = vec4(1,-5,9,1);
     vec4 s = -normalize(-lpos); 
   
     vec3 light = s.xyz;
     vec3 n = normalize(normal);
     vec3 r = -reflect(light, n);
     r = normalize(r);
     vec3 v = -pos.xyz;
     v = normalize(v);
       
     vec4 diffuse  = color * max(0.0, dot(n, s.xyz)) * color;
     vec4 specular;
     if (shininess != 0.0) {
       specular = lightspec * matspec * pow(max(0.0, dot(r, v)), shininess);
     } else {
       specular = vec4(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
     }
   
     gl_FragColor = diffuse + specular;
}

//ApplyLight uses the program GLSL to Light (Vide code 2)
//applyLight(PositionX, PositionY, PositionZ, Atenuation);

applyLight(1.0f, 2.0f, 0.0f, 4.0f);
applyLight(3.6f, 4.5f, 2.0f, 5.0f);
applyLight(2.0f, 1.0f, 1.1f, 3.6f);
applyLight(0.0f, 2.0f, 4.0f, 4.5f);

//Draw Terrain use the Code 1 and draw a .obj file
drawTerrain();

Are you calling glUseProgram() ?

You can't draw a single model with 2 shader programs. But you can draw the same model twice and call glUseProgram() between the draw calls to switch programs.

Hi Missionctrl, thank you for your reply.

Yes, i'm calling glUseProgram() in applyLight and drawTerrain (Pseudocode)

void applyLight(float, float, float, float){
    glUseProgram(.......)
    ..........
}
............
void drawTerrain(){
 glUseProgram(.....)

 ................
}

then... i need draw the the same model twice ?

this is slow or compromise the performance ?

Or the result is only one model drawn ?

For what you're trying to do, you would need to pass 4 lights into your shader and draw the scene once. You cannot dynamically combine shaders the way you are trying to. Here is a good tutorial for dealing multiple lights. https://learnopengl.com/#!Lighting/Multiple-lights

Wow, very nice this tutorial, but the light and terrain is a example for "multi shader". I would like to use separate shader for light, SSAO, glow, terrain...and others

Did not work :(

Remained only the first

You have to set your depth-compare so that drawing the same model more than once passes the depth test each time (and similarly for any stenciling tests).

The first pass typically uses GL_LESS (or GL_LEQUAL), and following passes use GL_EQUAL.

Can you show to me?

with source-code example.
