How to disable or configure clipping when rendering to texture using FBO in OpenGL? - iphone

I have a question about the way the FBO clips the visible scene.
All this happens in iPhone's OpenGL ES.
I'm rendering in 2D and using render-to-texture with FBO.
I find that when any part of the scene passes any side of the rectangle of screen size (480*320) that it appears clipped from the FBO generated texture.
Why does it do that? How do I disable or configure it?
I've tried disabling scissor test by
lDisable(GL_SCISSOR_TEST);
I've tried to set up needed section by
`glEnable(GL_SCISSOR_TEST);
glScissor(0, 0, 100, 100);`
I've tried to adjust Viewport by
glViewport(0,0, 512,512);
it doesn't work as needed. Instead of extending the render area to needed 512*512 it looks like it still clips the area to 480*320 and stretches it afterwards to 512*512
All these didn't bring needed result.
In my code:
I create the texture
GLuint textureID;
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glGenTextures(1, &textureID);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureID);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA, 512, 512, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, nil);`
Create FBO and attach texture to it
GLuint textureFrameBuffer;
GLint prevFBO;
glGetIntegerv(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_BINDING_OES, &prevFBO);
// create framebuffer
glGenFramebuffersOES(1, &textureFrameBuffer);
glBindFramebufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, textureFrameBuffer);
// attach renderbuffer
glFramebufferTexture2DOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0_OES, GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureID, 0);
if(glCheckFramebufferStatusOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES) != GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE_OES)
NSLog(#"ERROR - WHILE CREATING FBO");
// unbind frame buffer
glBindFramebufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, prevFBO);
And then, when I draw some stuff to FBO and render the square with this texture,
static const float textCoords[] =
{
0, 1,
1, 1,
0, 0,
1, 0,
};
static const float quadVerts[] =
{
0, 320,
320, 320,
0, 0,
320, 0,
};
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureID);
glVertexPointer(2, GL_FLOAT, 0, quadVerts);
glTexCoordPointer(2, GL_FLOAT, 0, textCoords);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);
To my opinion I should see the square filled with all the stuff I had drawn to my FBO. Whereas, I only see a part of it – clipped rectangle of size 480x320 at lower left corner.
So, the question is steel actual

You need to change your viewport doing:
glViewport(0,0,textureWidth,textureHeight);
EDIT:
And don't forget to switch it back to its normal value after rendering onto your FBO.
/// save viewport
GLint vp[4];
glGetIntegerv(GL_VIEWPORT, vp);
/// restore viewport
glViewport(vp[0], vp[1], vp[2], vp[3]);

glFramebufferTexture2D fails on iPhone for certain texture sizes

When I try to attach a texture to a framebuffer, glCheckFramebufferStatus reports GL_FRAMEBUFFER_UNSUPPORTED for certain texture sizes. I've tested on both a 2nd and 4th generation iPod Touch. The sizes of texture that fail are not identical between the two models.
Here are some interesting results:
2nd generation - 8x8 failed, 16x8 failed, but 8x16 succeeded!
4th generation - 8x8 succeeded, 8x16 succeeded, but 16x8 failed!
Here's some code I used to test attaching textures of different sizes:
void TestFBOTextureSize(int width, int height)
{
GLuint framebuffer, texture;
// Create framebuffer
glGenFramebuffersOES(1, &framebuffer);
glBindFramebufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, framebuffer);
// Create texture
glGenTextures(1,&texture);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D,texture);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA, width, height, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, NULL);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D,0);
// Attach texture to framebuffer
glFramebufferTexture2DOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0_OES, GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture, 0);
GLenum error = glGetError();
GLenum status = glCheckFramebufferStatusOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES);
if (status==GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE_OES)
NSLog(#"%dx%d Succeeded!",width,height,status);
else
NSLog(#"%dx%d Failed: %x %x %d %d",width,height,status,error,texture,framebuffer);
// Cleanup
glFramebufferTexture2DOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0_OES, GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, 0);
glDeleteTextures(1, &texture);
glBindFramebufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, 0);
glDeleteFramebuffersOES(1, &framebuffer);
}
void TestFBOTextureSizes()
{
int width,height;
for (width=1; width<=1024; width<<=1)
{
for (height=1; height<=1024; height<<=1)
TestFBOTextureSize(width,height);
}
}
It seems that as long as both dimensions are at least 16 pixels then everything works ok on both devices. The thing that bothers me, though, is that I haven't seen anything written about texture size requirements for attaching to a framebuffer object. One solution, for now, would be to restrict my texture sizes to be at least 16 pixels, but might this break in the future or already be broken on some device I haven't tried? I could also perform this test code at startup in order to dynamically figure out which texture sizes are allowed, but that seems a bit hokey.
I have experienced similar problem, when I'm trying to render to texture with size 480x320 (full screen w/o resolution scale) on iPod touch 4. When I call glCheckFramebufferStatus() it returns GL_FRAMEBUFFER_UNSUPPORTED. My code:
glGenTextures(1, &texture);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGB, 480, 320, 0, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_6_5, 0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0);
glGenFramebuffers(1, &frameBuffer);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, frameBuffer);
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture, 0);
GLenum status = glCheckFramebufferStatus(GL_FRAMEBUFFER);
if (status != GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE) {
// report error
}
Investigating this problem I have found that GL_TEXTURE_2D has to be a valid OpenGL ES object if we want it to use in render-to-texture mechanism. This means texture should be ready for bound and use. So to fix an error I have to set some texture parameters. Because I use non-POT texture I have to set GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_ to GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE (default value is GL_REPEAT) and GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER to GL_NEAREST or GL_LINEAR (default value is GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_LINEAR) to use this texture.
I couldn't find what's the problem with 16x8, but 16x9 and 17x8 works fine if this parameters are set. I hope this information will be helpful for you.

How can I draw (as in GLPaint) onto a background image, and with temporary drawings?

I am writing a GLPaint-esque drawing application for the iPad, however I have hit a stumbling block. Specifically, I am trying to implement two things at the moment:
1) A background image that can be drawn onto.
2) The ability to draw temporary shapes, e.g. you might draw a line, but the final shape would only be committed once the finger has lifted.
For the background image, I understand the idea is to draw the image into a VBO and draw it right before every line drawing. This is fine, but now I need to add the ability to draw temporary shapes... with kEAGLDrawablePropertyRetainedBacking set to YES (as in GLPaint) the temporary are obviously not temporary! Turning the retained backing property to NO works great for the temporary objects, but now my previous freehand lines aren't kept.
What is the best approach here? Should I be looking to use more than one EAGLLayer? All the documentation and tutorials I've found seem to suggest that most things should be possible with a single layer. They also say that retained backing should pretty much always be set to NO. Is there a way to work my application in such a configuration? I tried storing every drawing point into a continually expanding vertex array to be redrawn each frame, but due to the sheer number of sprites being drawn this isn't working.
I would really appreciate any help on this one, as I've scoured online and found nothing!
I've since found the solution to this problem. The best way appears to be to use custom framebuffer objects and render-to-texture. I hadn't heard of this before asking the question, but it looks like an incredibly useful tool for the OpenGLer's toolkit!
For those that may be wanting to do something similar, the idea is that you create a FBO and attach a texture to it (instead of a renderbuffer). You can then bind this FBO and draw to it like any other, the only difference being that the drawings are rendered off-screen. Then all you need to do to display the texture is to bind the main FBO and draw the texture to it (using a quad).
So for my implementation, I used two different FBOs with a texture attached to each - one for the "retained" image (for freehand drawing), and the other for the "scratch" image (for temporary drawings). Each time a frame is rendered, I first draw a background texture (in my case I just used the Texture2D class), then draw the retained texture, and finally the scratch texture if required. When drawing a temporary shape everything is rendered to the scratch texture, and this is cleared at the start of every frame. Once it is finished, the scratch texture is drawn to the retained texture.
Here are a few snippets of code that might be of use to somebody:
1) Create the framebuffers (I have only shown a couple here to save space!):
// ---------- DEFAULT FRAMEBUFFER ---------- //
// Create framebuffer.
glGenFramebuffersOES(1, &viewFramebuffer);
glBindFramebufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, viewFramebuffer);
// Create renderbuffer.
glGenRenderbuffersOES(1, &viewRenderbuffer);
glBindRenderbufferOES(GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, viewRenderbuffer);
// Get renderbuffer storage and attach to framebuffer.
[context renderbufferStorage:GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES fromDrawable:layer];
glFramebufferRenderbufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0_OES, GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, viewRenderbuffer);
glGetRenderbufferParameterivOES(GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, GL_RENDERBUFFER_WIDTH_OES, &backingWidth);
glGetRenderbufferParameterivOES(GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, GL_RENDERBUFFER_HEIGHT_OES, &backingHeight);
// Check for completeness.
status = glCheckFramebufferStatusOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES);
if (status != GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE_OES) {
NSLog(#"Failed to make complete framebuffer object %x", status);
return NO;
}
// Unbind framebuffer.
glBindFramebufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, 0);
// ---------- RETAINED FRAMEBUFFER ---------- //
// Create framebuffer.
glGenFramebuffersOES(1, &retainedFramebuffer);
glBindFramebufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, retainedFramebuffer);
// Create the texture.
glColor4f(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
glGenTextures(1, &retainedTexture);
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, retainedTexture);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA, 1024, 1024, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, NULL);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0);
// Attach the texture as a renderbuffer.
glFramebufferTexture2DOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0_OES, GL_TEXTURE_2D, retainedTexture, 0);
// Check for completeness.
status = glCheckFramebufferStatusOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES);
if (status != GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE_OES) {
NSLog(#"Failed to make complete framebuffer object %x", status);
return NO;
}
// Unbind framebuffer.
glBindFramebufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, 0);
2) Draw to the render-to-texture FBO:
// Ensure that we are drawing to the current context.
[EAGLContext setCurrentContext:context];
glBindFramebufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, retainedFramebuffer);
glViewport(0, 0, 1024, 1024);
// DRAWING CODE HERE
3) Render the various textures to the main FBO, and present:
glBindFramebufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, viewFramebuffer);
glViewport(0, 0, backingWidth, backingHeight);
glClearColor(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f); // Clear to white.
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
glEnableClientState(GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);
[self drawBackgroundTexture];
[self drawRetainedTexture];
[self drawScratchTexture];
glDisableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
glDisableClientState(GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);
glBindRenderbufferOES(GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, viewRenderbuffer);
[context presentRenderbuffer:GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES];
For example, drawing drawing the retained texture using [self drawRetainedTexture] would use the following code:
// Bind the texture.
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, retainedTexture);
// Destination coords.
GLfloat retainedVertices[] = {
0.0, backingHeight, 0.0,
backingWidth, backingHeight, 0.0,
0.0, 0.0, 0.0,
backingWidth, 0.0, 0.0
};
// Source coords.
GLfloat retainedTexCoords[] = {
0.0, 1.0,
1.0, 1.0,
0.0, 0.0,
1.0, 0.0
};
// Draw the texture.
glVertexPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 0, retainedVertices);
glTexCoordPointer(2, GL_FLOAT, 0, retainedTexCoords);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);
// Unbind the texture.
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0);
A lot of code, but I hope that helps somebody. It certainly had me stumped for a while!

OpenGL-ES variable texture alpha (2D)?

I have a texture with transparency (the white triangle with that lighting information), and just can't make it's alpha variable.
alt text http://gotoandplay.freeblog.hu/files/alpha_help.png
The drawing code, with the missing piece:
//Place polygon vertices to the bottom left within the view.
glLoadIdentity();
glTranslatef(centerX, centerY, 0);
//Draw "diffuse" layer.
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, spriteTexture[0]); //Bind.
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);
//Offset during development only.
glLoadIdentity();
glTranslatef(centerX-10, centerY+10, 0);
//Draw "specular" layer.
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, spriteTexture[1]); //Bind.
//Some smart alpha scaling code needs here...
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);
Could somebody please help me out with the appropriate lines of code?
Some glBlendFunc, or maybe glTextEnvi stuff I suppose.
Ok, I got it even if I don't understand what I did exactly.
//Place polygon vertices to the bottom left within the view.
glLoadIdentity();
glTranslatef(centerX, centerY, 0);
//--1
//Draw "diffuse" layer.
glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, spriteTexture[0]); //Bind.
//Blending.
glBlendFunc(GL_ONE, GL_ONE);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);
//--2
//Draw "specular" layer.
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, spriteTexture[1]); //Bind.
//Blending.
glColor4f(opacity, opacity, opacity, opacity);
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_COLOR, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);
I tried another way before...
glColor4f(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, opacity);
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
...but the second map was somehow "weaker".

OpenGL ES render to texture, then draw texture

I'm trying to render to a texture, then draw that texture to the screen using OpenGL ES on the iPhone. I'm using this question as a starting point, and doing the drawing in a subclass of Apple's demo EAGLView.
Instance variables:
GLuint textureFrameBuffer;
Texture2D * texture;
To initialize the frame buffer and texture, I'm doing this:
GLint oldFBO;
glGetIntegerv(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_BINDING_OES, &oldFBO);
// initWithData results in a white image on the device (works fine in the simulator)
texture = [[Texture2D alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"blank320.png"]];
// create framebuffer
glGenFramebuffersOES(1, &textureFrameBuffer);
glBindFramebufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, textureFrameBuffer);
// attach renderbuffer
glFramebufferTexture2DOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0_OES, GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture.name, 0);
if(glCheckFramebufferStatusOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES) != GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE_OES)
NSLog(#"incomplete");
glBindFramebufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, oldFBO);
Now, if I simply draw my scene to the screen as usual, it works fine:
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
// draw some triangles, complete with vertex normals
[contentDelegate draw];
[self swapBuffers];
But, if I render to 'textureFrameBuffer', then draw 'texture' to the screen, the resulting image is upside down and "inside out". That is, it looks as though the normals of the 3d objects are pointing inward rather than outward -- the frontmost face of each object is transparent, and I can see the inside of the back face. Here's the code:
GLint oldFBO;
glGetIntegerv(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_BINDING_OES, &oldFBO);
glBindFramebufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, textureFrameBuffer);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
// draw some polygons
[contentDelegate draw];
glBindFramebufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, oldFBO);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glEnableClientState(GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
glColor4f(1, 1, 1, 1);
[texture drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
glDisableClientState(GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);
glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
[self swapBuffers];
I can flip the image rightside-up easily enough by reordering the (glTexCoordPointer) coordinates accordingly (in Texture2D's drawInRect method), but that doesn't solve the "inside-out" issue.
I tried replacing the Texture2D texture with a manually created OpenGL texture, and the result was the same. Drawing a Texture2D loaded from a PNG image works fine.
As for drawing the objects, each vertex has a unit normal specified, and GL_NORMALIZE is enabled.
glVertexPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 0, myVerts);
glNormalPointer(GL_FLOAT, 0, myNormals);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, numVerts);
Everything draws fine when it's rendered to the screen; GL_DEPTH_TEST is enabled and is working great.
Any suggestions as to how to fix this? Thanks!
The interesting part of this is that you're seeing a different result when drawing directly to the backbuffer. Since you're on the iPhone platform, you're always drawing to an FBO, even when you're drawing to the backbuffer.
Make sure that you have a depth buffer attached to your offscreen FBO. In your initialization code, you might want to add the following snippet right after the glBindFramebufferOES(...).
// attach depth buffer
GLuint depthRenderbuffer;
glGenRenderbuffersOES(1, &depthRenderbuffer);
glBindRenderbufferOES(GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, depthRenderbuffer);
glRenderbufferStorageOES(GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT16_OES, width, height);
glFramebufferRenderbufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT_OES, GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, depthRenderbuffer);

Trying to render to texture using framebuffer always results in white texture

Using a couple of posts here in StackOverflow, I created what is supposed to be a simple render-to-texture using a framebuffer.
The problem here is that it's not working. Something is broken in the mix, as my final texture is just a white square. I am not getting any gl errors whatsoever. Here is my code.
Declare instance variables.
GLuint texture;
GLuint textureFrameBuffer;
Generate the texture and framebuffer.
glGetError();
//Generate the texture that we will draw to (saves us a lot of processor).
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);

// Pass by reference so that our texture variable gets set.
glGenTextures(1, &texture);
// Bind the texture name.
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture);
// Specify a 2D texture image, providing a pointer to the image data in memory.
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA, 512, 128, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, NULL);
//Create a frame buffer to draw to. This will allow us to directly edit the texture.
GLint oldFBO;

//Restore the model view matrix to prevent contamination.
glPopMatrix();

Any external things I called work just fine in other contexts. Any ideas? I know almost nothing about framebuffers, so any help troubleshooting would be great.
Texture parameters are set on a per-texture basis. The code you posted appears to be setting GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER before the texture you’re rendering to has been created or bound. If you’re not setting the filter anywhere else, and you haven’t specified texture images for the remaining levels, your texture is likely incomplete, which is why you’re getting white.
For future reference, the absence of GL errors after framebuffer setup does not mean that the framebuffer is usable for rendering. You should also check that the framebuffer is complete by calling glCheckFramebufferStatusOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES) and verifying that GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE_OES is returned.
