OpenGL 3 program blank screen

[blm768]

I've been converting some of my old code to OpenGL 3, and I've gotten most of it working. All the VAOs, VBOs, etc. are working fine, as verified by an OpenGL debugging program, and my shaders compile just fine, but nothing appears on the screen other than my clear color. I think all my matrices should be fine, although I'm not sure if the projection matrix is supposed to convert negative Z-coordinates to positive ones; every code sample I've tried produces such a matrix. Here are my shaders:

Vertex shader:

#version 330
 
uniform mat4 modelview;
uniform mat4 projection;
 
in vec4 position;
in vec4 normal;
in vec4 texCoord;
 
void main() {
    gl_Position = projection * modelview * position;
}

Fragment shader:

#version 330
 
out vec4 fragColor;
 
void main() {
    fragColor = vec4(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
}

My code is complex, so I'll just post a modified, commented version of the glIntercept call log, which should have all the relevant calls:

    //Create shaders
glCreateShader(GL_VERTEX_SHADER)=1 
glShaderSource(1,1,vertShaderText,vertShaderTextLen)

glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES,24,GL_UNSIGNED_INT,00000000) GLSL=3  Textures[ (0,2) ]
glDisableVertexAttribArray(0)

I've got a plane facing directly into the camera, but it doesn't show up at all. All I see is the clear color. Culling and depth test are off.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

You're using a perspective projection matrix, so for points inside the view frustum it should (with the perspective divide added) map EYE-SPACE negative Z values (i.e. in front of the eye) between -near and -far to -1..1 NDC Z values. See picture here:

* http://www.songho.ca/opengl/gl_projectionmatrix.html

Try running EYE-SPACE (0,0,-(near+far)/2,1) through your projection matrix, do the perspective divide, and make sure you get something in -1..1 (NDC).

That's definitely part of the problem. However, when I try an orthographic projection by scaling the Z coordinate down by a factor of 12 (my plane is 6 units away), the NDC Z-coordinate of the plane is -0.5, but it still doesn't show up.

Sorry for the bump, but I can't figure out how to edit my last post.

I'm wondering if the issue might be with my initialization code. Here's what I have for that (it's in the D programming language, so it's a little different from C++ but should be readable):

if(SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING) != 0) {
    throw new Error("Unable to initialize SDL:" ~ to!string(SDL_GetError()));
}
 
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION, glMajorVersion);
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION, glMinorVersion);
 
//Make sure we get an accelerated renderer.
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_ACCELERATED_VISUAL, 1);
 
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_RED_SIZE,     8);
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_GREEN_SIZE,   8);
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_BLUE_SIZE,    8);
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_DEPTH_SIZE,   24);
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_STENCIL_SIZE, 8);
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_DOUBLEBUFFER, 1);
 
window = SDL_CreateWindow(null, SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED,
    width, height, SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL);
if(!window) {
    throw new Error("Unable to create SDL window: " ~ to!string(SDL_GetError()));
}
 
context = SDL_GL_CreateContext(window);
if(!context) {
    throw new Error("Unable to create OpenGL " ~ to!string(glMajorVersion) ~
        "." ~ to!string(glMinorVersion) ~ " or higher context. Please try updating your graphics drivers.");
}
 
glClearColor(0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0);
glClearDepth(1.0);
 
//For testing
glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
 
glViewport(0, 0, width, height);

After that point, I instruct the bindings to load the OpenGL 3.2 symbols. The symbols appear to load just fine.
Might I be missing something in my setup?
