I am writing a deferred shader and as one of the first steps, to get familiar with GLSL and using shaders and the framebuffer I am trying to change the color of a mesh through a shader.
I have it linked to one of the buffers by calling glDrawBuffers with an array that holds the attachement and then binding the texture to my framebuffer:
I have an out_Color variable in my fragment shader (otherwise it wouldn’t even compile), but I can’t manage to change the color of the mesh by setting it through that variable inside the shader.
Does anyone has any idea why and could explain that to me?
#version 330
uniform float u_Far;
in vec3 fs_Normal;
in vec4 fs_Position;
out vec4 out_Normal;
out vec4 out_Position;
out vec4 out_Color;
void main(void)
{
out_Normal = vec4(normalize(fs_Normal),0.0f);
out_Position = vec4(fs_Position.xyz,1.0f); //Tuck position into 0 1 range
out_Color = vec4(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);//first three diffuse, last specular
}
