Question

I've been trying to learn about modern OpenGL/GLSL recently, and that has taken me to the subject of FBOs, and I've encountered a mysterious problem.

In my program, I initialize an FBO, then unbind it. Everything works so far. I then bind the FBO, and render my scene to it. I get a blank screen now when I run this program, but that's normal - I'm not rendering the output. However, when I try to do that, or attempt to render anything at all, I still get the black screen. I can make it work only if I don't bind the FBO during the main loop. I have had FBOs working in Java, using LWJGL, and this is the second time I've attempted to render an FBO in C++, with SDL, and both times I came across the same bug.

What it isn't:

  • The texture - I've already tried drawing other textures after using the FBO
  • The shader - I've tried my other shader on this
  • My wrapper classes used - they have all been proven to work when using other systems.

Also, glChackFramebufferStatus(GL_FRAMEBUFFER) returns GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE, and glGetError() returns 0. Also, I understand that there are a few things I haven't done which would be sensible (depth buffer for example), that don't affect this bug. I will fill those in later.

Here's the code: Main.cpp:

}

I really don't know what's happening here. I'd guess it's something simple, but how did I miss it twice?

Was it helpful?

Solution

I've solved it!

For some reason, the material.cpp file was messing it all up. For some reason, when I used the material.addToShader(shader) function, it would not render, but when I added the uniforms myself, or changed the parameter to a pointer to a shader, it seemed to work perfectly fine. There was a 1281 error caused by this issue. Why this was the case I have no idea, but at least it's solved now!

OTHER TIPS

You don't call glClear when the window framebuffer is bound. Try:

glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, 0);

glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT|GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
