I am not able to render my all objects using more than 1 pair of vertex and index buffer objects. To check everything, I initialized just 3 objects and render them. This results in a distorted geometry for the first two and the third objects geometry renders somewhat fine (not perfect).
When I just initialize all of the 3 but render just first, it again shows distorted geometry and somehow the third geometry is more visible (even when I am not rendering it).
However, If I am initializing and rendering any one of them, it renders just fine (perfect).
here is my code:
float tempAngles[4] = {0, 60, 180, 360};
pieOne = [[IVNode alloc]initWithPieGeometry:0.75 thickness:0.20 startAngle:tempAngles[0]*M_PI/180 andEndAngle:tempAngles[1]*M_PI/180];
glGenBuffers(1, &vertexBuffer1);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vertexBuffer1);//vertexBuffer[i]);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, [pieOne.pie getVertexSize]*sizeof(GLfloat), [pieOne.pie returnVertexArray] , GL_STATIC_DRAW);
glGenBuffers(1, &indexBuffer1);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer1);
glBufferData(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, [pieOne.pie getIndicesSize]*sizeof(GLushort),[pieOne.pie returnIndexArray], GL_STATIC_DRAW);
pieTwo = [[IVNode alloc]initWithPieGeometry:1.0 thickness:0.20 startAngle:tempAngles[1]*M_PI/180 andEndAngle:tempAngles[2]*M_PI/180];
glGenBuffers(1, &vertexBuffer2);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vertexBuffer2);//vertexBuffer[i]);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, [pieTwo.pie getVertexSize]*sizeof(GLfloat), [pieTwo.pie returnVertexArray] , GL_STATIC_DRAW);
glGenBuffers(1, &indexBuffer2);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer2);
glBufferData(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, [pieTwo.pie getIndicesSize]*sizeof(GLushort),[pieTwo.pie returnIndexArray], GL_STATIC_DRAW);
pieThree = [[IVNode alloc]initWithPieGeometry:0.75 thickness:0.20 startAngle:tempAngles[2]*M_PI/180 andEndAngle:tempAngles[3]*M_PI/180];
glGenBuffers(1, &vertexBuffer3);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vertexBuffer3);//vertexBuffer[i]);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, [pieThree.pie getVertexSize]*sizeof(GLfloat), [pieThree.pie returnVertexArray] , GL_STATIC_DRAW);
glGenBuffers(1, &indexBuffer3);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer3);
glBufferData(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, [pieThree.pie getIndicesSize]*sizeof(GLushort),[pieThree.pie returnIndexArray], GL_STATIC_DRAW);
//#define BUFFER_OFFSET(i) ((char *)NULL + (i))
glEnableVertexAttribArray(GLKVertexAttribPosition);
glVertexAttribPointer(GLKVertexAttribPosition, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 6*sizeof(GLfloat), BUFFER_OFFSET(0));
glEnableVertexAttribArray(GLKVertexAttribNormal);
glVertexAttribPointer(GLKVertexAttribNormal, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 6*sizeof(GLfloat), BUFFER_OFFSET(12));
Now In my rendering function I have:
-(void)glkView:(GLKView *)view drawInRect:(CGRect)rect
{
glClearColor(0.77f, 0.88f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
float yellow[3][4] = {1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f,
1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f,
1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f};
glUseProgram(_program);
//1st
GLKMatrix4 model = GLKMatrix4Identity;// GLKMatrix4MakeTranslation(1.5, 0, 0);
_modelViewProjectionMatrix = GLKMatrix4Multiply(_modelViewProjectionMatrix, model);
glUniformMatrix4fv(uniforms[UNIFORM_MODELVIEWPROJECTION_MATRIX], 1, 0, _modelViewProjectionMatrix.m);
glUniformMatrix3fv(uniforms[UNIFORM_NORMAL_MATRIX], 1, 0,_normalMatrix.m);
glUniform4f(uniforms[COLOR_VECTOR], yellow[0][0], yellow[0][1], yellow[0][2], yellow[0][3]);
//bind corresponding buffer before drawing
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer1);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer1);
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, [pieOne.pie getIndicesSize], GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, (void*)0);
//2nd
model = GLKMatrix4MakeTranslation(0, -1, 0);
_modelViewProjectionMatrix = GLKMatrix4Multiply(_modelViewProjectionMatrix, model);
glUniformMatrix4fv(uniforms[UNIFORM_MODELVIEWPROJECTION_MATRIX], 1, 0, _modelViewProjectionMatrix.m);
glUniformMatrix3fv(uniforms[UNIFORM_NORMAL_MATRIX], 1, 0,_normalMatrix.m);//
glUniform4f(uniforms[COLOR_VECTOR], yellow[1][0], yellow[1][1], yellow[1][2], yellow[1][3]);
//bind corresponding buffer before drawing
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer2);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer2);
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, [pieTwo.pie getIndicesSize], GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT,(void*)0);
//3rd
model = GLKMatrix4MakeTranslation(-1.5, 0, 0);
_modelViewProjectionMatrix = GLKMatrix4Multiply(_modelViewProjectionMatrix, model);
glUniformMatrix4fv(uniforms[UNIFORM_MODELVIEWPROJECTION_MATRIX], 1, 0, _modelViewProjectionMatrix.m);
glUniformMatrix3fv(uniforms[UNIFORM_NORMAL_MATRIX], 1, 0,_normalMatrix.m);
glUniform4f(uniforms[COLOR_VECTOR], yellow[2][0], yellow[2][1], yellow[2][2], yellow[2][3]);
//bind corresponding buffer before drawing
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer3);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer3);
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, [pieThree.pie getIndicesSize], GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, (void*)0);
}
getIndicesSize returns the number of elements in indexArray.
getVertexSize return the number of elements in vertexArray.
returnVertexArray returns the vertex array of the geometry.
returnIndexArray returns the index array of the geometry.
vertex array is of type GLfloat.
index array is of type GLushort.
Number of elements in vertex array generated is 24522.
Number of elements in Index array generated is 22680.
On the internet, only examples of multiple VBO/IBO I found were not using GLkit and they did exactly what I am doing here in terms of initializing buffers and rendering.
I have spent almost 2 days on this issue. I feel there is some very basic thing missing. Somehow the last bound buffer affects all other geometries I feel (based on my results as I explained above). Could it be a simulator issue (I don't think so)? Fast response will be appreciated. Thanks
You seem to have some confusion about how the glVertexAttribPointer functions are supposed to work. When you call glVertexAttribPointer, it tells OpenGL:
On the next draw call, render starting from the address of the currently bound buffer plus the provided buffer offset.
After this, it doesn't matter if you change what buffer is bound, because the pointer still points to the buffer that was bound at the time of the function call.
Therefore in this code:
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer1);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer1);
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, [pieOne.pie getIndicesSize], GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, (void*)0);
Calling glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER) does absolutely nothing here, because you're not updating the pointer.
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer1);
//need to set glVertexAttribPointers here
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, indexBuffer1);
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, [pieOne.pie getIndicesSize], GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, (void*)0);

I am simulating page flipping in iOS and I tried to draw different textures on both sides of a page. But I find out that the rendered page is thrashing even if I did not change any vertex or texCoords.
Below are the codes called in each frame:
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glEnable(GL_CULL_FACE);
glCullFace(GL_BACK);
...
Shader2D* shader = [Shader2D getInstance];
glUseProgram(shader.shaderProgramID);
glVertexAttribPointer(shader.vertexHandle, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, (const GLvoid*)vertices);
glVertexAttribPointer(shader.textureCoordHandle, 2, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, (const GLvoid*)texCoords);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(shader.vertexHandle);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(shader.textureCoordHandle);
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, [[textures objectAtIndex: 0] textureID]);
glUniformMatrix4fv(shader.mvpMatrixHandle, 1, GL_FALSE, (const GLfloat*)&mvpMatrix);
glUniform1i(shader.texSampler2DHandle, 0);
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, numIndices, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, (const GLvoid*)page.frontFaces);
glDisableVertexAttribArray(shader.vertexHandle);
glDisableVertexAttribArray(shader.textureCoordHandle);
glUseProgram(shader.shaderProgramID);
glVertexAttribPointer(shader.vertexHandle, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, (const GLvoid*)vertices);
glVertexAttribPointer(shader.textureCoordHandle, 2, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, (const GLvoid*)texCoords);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(shader.vertexHandle);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(shader.textureCoordHandle);
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, [[textures objectAtIndex: 1] textureID]);
glUniformMatrix4fv(shader.mvpMatrixHandle, 1, GL_FALSE, (const GLfloat*)&mvpMatrix);
glUniform1i(shader.texSampler2DHandle, 0);
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, numIndices, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, (const GLvoid*)page.backFaces);
glDisableVertexAttribArray(shader.vertexHandle);
glDisableVertexAttribArray(shader.textureCoordHandle);
...
glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glDisable(GL_CULL_FACE);
It is worth mentioning that I use different indices winding order for both sides. page.frontFaces are defined counter-clockwise and page.backFaces are defined clockwise.
Here is my shader:
static const char* fragmentShader2d = MAKESTRING(
precision mediump float;
varying vec2 texCoord;
uniform sampler2D texSampler2D;
void main()
{
gl_FragColor = texture2D(texSampler2D, texCoord);
}
);
static const char* vertexShader2d = MAKESTRING(
attribute vec4 vertexPosition;
attribute vec2 vertexTexCoord;
varying vec2 texCoord;
uniform mat4 modelViewProjectionMatrix;
void main()
{
gl_Position = modelViewProjectionMatrix * vertexPosition;
texCoord = vertexTexCoord;
}
);
SCREENSHOT:
In my codes, the front side of the page is red with white characters and the back side is orange and black. As you can see from images, the back side of page was drawn irregularly near the right border of the front side. And apparently, at this time, only the front side of the page should be drawn.
It is worthy of noticing that in both images, the vertices and texCoords remain the same. As a matter of fact, the vertices and texCoords are constant in each frame but the rendered images are NOT! And I think it is related to depth buffer.
There are only eight triangles representing the mesh of a page. And it is good to ignore the video background.
I'm using the following code to draw a green line at some specified coordinates
GLfloat colors[] = {0,1,0,1, 0,1,0,0.5};
CGPoint v[] = {{p1.x, p1.y}, {p2.x, p2.y}};
glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
glEnableClientState(GL_COLOR_ARRAY);
glEnableClientState(GL_LINE_SMOOTH);
glLineWidth(10);
glVertexPointer(2, GL_FLOAT, 0, &v);
glColorPointer(4, GL_FLOAT, 0, &colors);
glDrawArrays(GL_LINE_LOOP, 0, 2);
glDisableClientState(GL_LINE_SMOOTH);
glDisableClientState(GL_COLOR_ARRAY);
glDisableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
The problem is that once in a while even if the draw method gets called, the line turns black or does not get drawn entirely. i've checked the coordinates i pass and they seem fine.
Is there something that i'm missing?
GL_LINE_SMOOTH has never been an acceptable argument to glEnableClientState().
It might not be the source of the problem, and you might have noticed it already, but isn't it correct to pass arrays to the functions without '&' or with '[0]'? i.e.
glVertexPointer(2, GL_FLOAT, 0, &v); // --> &v should be v, or &v[0]
glColorPointer(4, GL_FLOAT, 0, &colors); // --> colors, or &colors[0]
Also, glEnable(GL_LINE_SMOOTH); seems the correct syntax.
I´m creating an opengl ES project and I´m trying to show some textures, all works good but the problem is the use of the memory, every 5 seconds increments almost 1 Mb, I think I´m doing something wrong, I´m not using any of this apple recommendations I will tray for sure, but I want to know if my code have some bug, there is how I´m paiting:
// Generate the vertex buffer object (VBO)
glGenBuffers(1, &ui32Vbo);
// Bind the VBO so we can fill it with data
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, ui32Vbo);
// Set the buffer's data
// Calculate verts size: (3 vertices * stride (3 GLfloats per each vertex))
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, uiSize, verts, GL_STATIC_DRAW);
// Bind the VBO so we can fill it with data
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, ui32Vbo);
glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
glVertexPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 20, 0); // Stride = 20 bytes
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textID);
glEnableClientState(GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);
glTexCoordPointer(2, GL_FLOAT, 20, (void *)12);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_FAN, 4, 4);
// Bind the VBO so we can fill it with data
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
Thank you very much!!!
You should generate the vertex buffer object only once, the use it draw.
It seems you create a new one each frame.
I have a set of textures which I need to draw at different vertices such that every texture is visible.I cannot define a static set of vertices since I load the textures dynamically and I dont know how many textures will be loaded everytime ( i choose them based on a condition).
This is how my code looks as of now.
for(int i=0;i<num_img;i++)
{
glLoadIdentity();
glTranslatef(0.0, 0.0, -3.0);
glRotatef(rot, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture[i]);
glVertexPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 0, vertices);
glNormalPointer(GL_FLOAT, 0, normals);
glTexCoordPointer(2, GL_FLOAT, 0, texCoords);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);
}
Is there anyway to dynamically generate vertices that can be passed as final argument of glVertexPointer() ?
Do you know the maximum number of vertices that you will use? Maybe you could create the vertices array to be that maximum size then in the first parameter of glVertexPointer you only pass the number of vertices that you actually use.
I'm working on an iPhone project in Xcode 3.2.4 for which I'd like to display textures using OpenGL ES 2.0. I don't have much previous experience working with OpenGL, but so far it doesn't seem too awful. So far I've mainly been referring to The OpenGL ES 2.0 Programming Guide (gold book).
Right now I've got a project based on Xcode's default OpenGL template, with the drawFrame function replaced with my texture-displaying code, which in turn is based on the Simple_Texture2D project from the gold book. However, the square I should be drawing my texture onto does not display it; it's black instead, and I'm not sure why this is happening.
Here are the contents of drawFrame:
[(EAGLView *)self.view setFramebuffer];
GLuint textureID;
static const GLfloat squareVertices[] =
{
-0.5f, -0.33f,
0.5f, -0.33f,
-0.5f, 0.33f,
0.5f, 0.33f
};
// Generate a 2 x 2 rgb image at 3 bytes per pixel.
GLubyte image[4 * 3] =
{
255, 0, 0,
0, 255, 0,
0, 0, 255,
255, 255, 0
};
glClearColor(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, 1.0f);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glUseProgram(program);
glVertexAttribPointer(ATTRIB_VERTEX, 2, GL_FLOAT, 0, 0, squareVertices);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(ATTRIB_VERTEX);
glPixelStorei(GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT, 1);
glGenTextures(1, &textureID);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureID);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGB, 2, 2, 0, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, image);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
GLushort indices[] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1};
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, 6, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, indices);
[(EAGLView *)self.view presentFramebuffer];
Perhaps to an experienced OpenGL user it'll be obvious what I'm doing wrong. Otherwise, any suggestions, guesses, or constructive comments of any kind are great too.
Thanks in advance!
You need not only vertex positions but also texture coordinates. As it stands you're only specifying vertex positions, so you're only going to vertices with whatever color was set last, no texture.
Try setting up a texCoord array and doing another glVertexAttribPointer(ATTRIB_TEXCOORD, ...) and a glEnableVertexArray(ATTRIB_TEXCOORD).
(If you're lighting you may want normals as well.)
There's sample code off songho's OpenGL Vertex Array page (glDrawElements section). See the draw3 function and prior setup.
Note that vertex buffer objects (and other buffer objects) are generally replacing vertex arrays (and other arrays) as the preferred solution for rendering batches of data at once. VBOs have more opportunity to be stored in a high-performance way by the driver.
