Multisample textures

[debonair]

I read some pages on google but still confused about working of multisample textures.
Can anyone explain this concept? If possible please explain it with source code.
Thanks.

Are you planning to use shaders or immediate mode?

i am going to use shaders.

Ok, that easier. You need to supply a uv for each texture in the vertex bindings (you can of course shared one uv for multiple textures. Then bind each texture to a sampler in the fragment shader. Fetch the texture pixels in the fragment shader and apply them as you see fit. I will post a little example - I am off to a boxing day do

example

vertex shader
 
layout(location = VERTEX_BINDINGS_POSITION) in  vec3  Position;
layout(location = VERTEX_BINDINGS_TEXTURE0) in  vec2  Texture0;
layout(location = VERTEX_BINDINGS_TEXTURE1) in  vec2  Texture1;
 
out vec2 texture0;
out vec2 texture1;
 
void main()
{
 texture0 = Texture0;
 texture1 = Texture1;
 
 gl_Position = CameraProjection * CameraModelView * vec4(Position,1);
}
 
fragment
 
 
in vec2 texture0;
in vec2 texture1;
 
uniform    sampler2D       Image0;
uniform    sampler2D       Image1;
 
layout(location = 0, index = 0) out vec4 fFragColour;
 
 
 
void main()
{
 
  vec4 c0 = texture2D(Image0,p_Texture0.st);
  vec4 c1 = texture2D(Image1,p_Texture1.st);
 
  vec4 colour = mix(c0,c1,c1.a); // some blend function
 
  fFragColour = colour;
 
}

Thanks for the reply. But the code you have provided is for multi-texturing and not multisample texture

i want to use multisampled textures.

What will be the fragment shader and how to pass multiple samplers to shader?

Also, which API can be used to load texel data ?

I want to use default FBO for this.

Typically you would pass these into a shader via a sampler2DMS and sample them via texelFetch(). Web search those and you'll come up with some good sample code. There's some in the archives of these forums as well (see the search box above).

And please don't cross-post. I re-merged your threads.

wops - mis-read that here is a sample

uniform  sampler2DMS    u_2DMS; 
uniform  float          u_Translucency;
 
layout(location = 0, index = 0) out vec4 fFragColour;
 
void main()
{
  ivec2 st = ivec2(vData.texture0.st * u_Screen.xy);
 
  vec4 colour = texelFetch(u_2DMS,st,gl_SampleID);
 
  colour.w *= u_Translucency;
 
  fFragColour = colour;
 
}

Thanks for the reply..
as gl_samplerID is supported on after 4.0 versions, what would replace it?
