Fog problem

OpenGL OpenGL: Basic Coding
1

Hi

the code is a bit long (near 60 lines) so I prefer first to be sure…: the fog is only influenced by the modelview matrix and the fog parameters, isn’t it?

If yes, I have a strange problem!

as a followup question, you dont put anything else than the projection parameters in the projection matrix do you? no scale, rotate or translate in that one.

Thanks for answering Mazy but no … Here is what I do ; this is the only OpenGL part of the program (I have try to present it the sexiest way possible … I think I failed ):

bool bTest=false;

void InitGL(GLvoid) // All Setup For OpenGL Goes Here
{
GLfloat fogColor[]={0.35f,0.45f,0.7f,1.0f};

glShadeModel(GL_SMOOTH);		// Enable Smooth Shading
glClearColor(0.3f, 0.45f, 0.6f, 0.0f);		// Blue Background
glClearDepth(1.0f);		// Depth Buffer Setup

glFogi(GL_FOG_MODE, GL_EXP);		// Fog Mode
glFogfv(GL_FOG_COLOR, fogColor);		// Set Fog Color
glFogf(GL_FOG_DENSITY, 0.45f);		// How Dense Will The Fog Be

/**** I SET THE MATRIX HERE AND ONLY HERE ****/
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
{
	GLfloat f[]={-1.000000f,0.000000f,0.000000f,0.000000f,

0.000000f,0.069829f,0.997559f,0.000000f,
0.000000f,0.997559f,-0.069829f,0.000000f,
0.000000f,-0.179561f,1.015016f,1.000000f};
glLoadMatrixf(f);
}

glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
{
	GLfloat f[]={2.414213f,0.000000f,0.000000f,0.000000f,

0.000000f,2.414213f,0.000000f,0.000000f,
0.000000f,0.000000f,1.010101f,1.000000f,
0.000000f,0.000000f,-1.010101f,0.000000f};
glLoadMatrixf(f);
}

/**** (1) ****/
glEnable(GL_FOG);

glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);

}

void DrawGLScene(GLvoid) // Here’s Where We Do All The Drawing
{
GLfloat height=-0.65f;
typedef struct { GLfloat x,y,z; } strVertex;
strVertex first[]={
{-5.0f, 5.0f, height+1.3f}, { 5.0f, 5.0f, height+1.3f}, {-5.0f, -5.0f, height+1.3f},
{-5.0f, -5.0f, height+1.3f}, {5.0f, 5.0f, height+1.3f}, {5.0f, -5.0f, height+1.3f}
};
strVertex second[]={
{-5.0f, 5.0f, height}, { 5.0f, 5.0f, height}, {-5.0f, -5.0f, height},
{-5.0f, -5.0f, height}, { 5.0f, 5.0f, height}, { 5.0f, -5.0f, height}
};

glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT );		// Clear Screen Buffer

/***** (2) ******
if (bTest) {
	glDisable(GL_FOG);
	glVertexPointer(3,GL_FLOAT, sizeof(strVertex), (GLfloat *)first);
	glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, 6);
}

glEnable(GL_FOG);
glVertexPointer(3,GL_FLOAT, sizeof(strVertex), (GLfloat *)second);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, 6);

}

During the execution, the bTest value is swapped when I put a key, which allow me to draw FIRST a band without fog (2)…

First I have what I should have: a dark blue band in the bottom of the screen [1]. Then I push a key and that’s weird: the bottom band become very “bright”, and the top band is as totally white as I wanted [2].

And more strange: when I push again a key, there is the bottom band, but it isn’t dark blue anymore (it is still bright)… [3]. And I can’t come back to [1]!!!

I have made screen capture:
[1] http://florent.cohen.free.fr/scr_cap1.jpg
[2] http://florent.cohen.free.fr/scr_cap2.jpg
[3] http://florent.cohen.free.fr/scr_cap3.jpg

And stranger, when I comment (1), I go directly to [3]…

I thought the correct behaviour would be [1] and a mix between [2] and [1]…

Any idea? I am totally lost!!!

OK I have ran my test-program on a GeForce4 and everything went fine…

=> it’s (once again) a bug driver for my ATI All In Wonder Radeon.

I will report to ATI.

Thanks!
