Hello. I’m trying to write a vertex shader for skinning, so I have to pass some per-vertex attributes to the shader.
This is the shader I’m writing:
varying vec3 normal;
attribute vec4 attr_boneRelPos1;
attribute vec4 attr_boneRelPos0;
attribute vec4 attr_boneIdx;
uniform vec4 in_bonesMat[84];
void main()
{
// first bone weight
int idx = int(attr_boneIdx.x);
vec3 pos1;
pos1.x = dot(in_bonesMat[idx],attr_boneRelPos0);
pos1.y = dot(in_bonesMat[idx+1],attr_boneRelPos0);
pos1.z = dot(in_bonesMat[idx+2],attr_boneRelPos0);
pos1 = pos1 * attr_boneIdx.y;
idx = int(attr_boneIdx.z);
vec3 pos2;
pos2.x = dot(in_bonesMat[idx],attr_boneRelPos1);
pos2.y = dot(in_bonesMat[idx+1],attr_boneRelPos1);
pos2.z = dot(in_bonesMat[idx+2],attr_boneRelPos1);
vec4 vertexBonePosition = vec4((pos2 * attr_boneIdx.w) + pos1,1.0);
gl_Position = ftransform();
normal = gl_Normal;
gl_TexCoord[0] = gl_MultiTexCoord0;
}
I’m setting up 3 custom attribute variables to bind them to some buffers where I have the necessary data.
The shader compiles and links perfectly, but unfortunately, I’m not able to retrieve the location of those attributes, since glGetAttribLocation always return -1.
Using glGetActiveAttribARB I can get the active attributes, which are:
gl_Vertex, gl_Normal and gl_MultiTexCoord0.
Why I’m not able to “see” my custom attributes? Is every thing ok? Any ideas are appreciated?
Thanks in advance.
