Screenshot to texture

[vindy]

I know I've already posted a question about this but I'm still having trouble. What I want to do is capture the screen, dump it into a texture, and then texture a sphere with it. I've tried using glReadPixels, FBOs, glGenerateMipmap, and the glCoprTex* functions. Nothing seems to work properly. Is there anybody who can tell me how I might accomplish doing what I'm trying to do?

[McLeary]

Actually you don't need a FBO for this, but it is a fast and practical way. What in this page isn't working?

http://www.songho.ca/opengl/gl_fbo.html

Theres also an example of how to texture an object.

[vindy]

Cool! Its working! Thanks man. However its a little slow. I know how I can speed it up but I need to know where the vertex coordinates stop on the x and y axes. Would anybody out there know how to find out? I know, its lame that I don't already know how to do this.

[vindy]

Nevermind the previous question. I figued it out. Now I have another question. Why can't I take that texture that has my screen shot and slap it back to the screen with one big quad? I don't know where I'm going wrong. It textures the sphere no problem but I can't get it to map to the entire screen. I'm trying to speed things up here.

Let's see some code. Show us how you're binding the texture, and building the batch (draw call) for that GL QUAD.

//I hope this is all you need. Thanks for the help.

Well I don't see a glGenTextures( 1, &tex ), but I assume you've got it elsewhere.

First thing that jumps out at me is that, while you are loading an Identity MODELVIEW, you're not loading a projection matrix before drawing that quad. You probably want something like:



glMatrixMode( GL_PROJECTION );
glOrtho( -2.5, 2.5, -2.5, 2.5, -1, 1 );


Also, you probably want to disable DEPTH_TEST before you draw it, because the depth buffer will be nonsensical for rendering the quad in a different projection.

[vindy]

Yeah, I've got the glGenTextures function above everything else in another function; initRendering(). Anyhow, I'll implement the changes you suggest and get back to you guys.

[vindy]

Ok, tried it. Now my screen is just black. Like nothing is getting drawn.

[vindy]

The strange thing is if I take all the code used in between the creation and release of the FBO and replace the code that is drawing that big quad with it then it seems to work. Its just a little slow.

[BionicBytes]

// unbind FBO
glDeleteRenderbuffersEXT(1, &rboId);

Are you deleting your depth render buffer when you unbind the FBO?
Really??!

[vindy]

Oh, sorry. I thought once you have the texture made you get rid of the stuff used to make it or you might end up with a memory leak or something. Cut me some slack man. I'm new to opengl and graphics programming in general. And when I say new I mean by a couple of weeks. That means I have yet to understand the way all of this works and that includes the workings of my graphics card. However, I took that line out of the code and its still not working. But I thank you for your help.

Actually I did leave out my drawSphere function but I'm quite sure the problem doesn't lie there.

Alright guys, sorry about the huge blob of code I posted the other night. After taking something of a textual beat down from someone else on this board (who will remain nameless), and being made to feel like crap for having the nerve to ask him for help, I've decided to break up my code into functions and comment it so its a little easier to follow. Despite how I was made to feel the guy did have a point. Anyhow, the code will be posted right after this post. Any advice as to what may be going wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm, well, its still a lot of code, but it is actually a third of what I posted the other night.

Ok, I think you're gonna need to do a little work here narrowing down the problem. The 2nd source code snippet doesn't compile. The first one does, with a little hacking, but then expects some BMP textures. If I toss one its way, it comes up with a black screen. And I have no idea if that's right, wrong, or what exactly is supposed to happen.

Spend some time narrowing down the problem, scalping off big hunks of stuff you know "do" work, replacing complex drawing with a single triangle or quad, and post a test program that focuses "directly" on the specific thing you have a question about.

[vindy]

Sure thing Photon! I really am grateful for all the help you've given me thus far. I've been working on it all day and I think I'm getting close. I should be able to have the problem narrowed down in a couple of days. Thanks a bunch! :)
