Accessing multiple FBO Textures via GLSL

Hi, Firstly, I am a beginner in OpenGL and I have posted a question here regarding this question, but the discussion was left without answer. I have been trying to Google for this issue, but only a few resources available. I hope this is still proper to post the question in this forum. I’m sorry if it is not approriate.

So, I created 4 textures and attach all of them to FBO, named fbo_texture0 - fbo_texture3. These textures was successfully created, as given by the following screenshot:

I wanted to make 5th texture (fbo_texture4), the idea was to make this texture from the existing textures using GLSL. I intend to access the pixels from previous textures and input them in the new texture. However, this is all i got:

For now, i just want to copy the pixel from the first texture (fbo_texture0) to the new texture (fbo_texture4), so i use these vertex shader and fragment shader (respectively):


void main(void) 
{ 
    gl_TexCoord[0] = gl_MultiTexCoord0;
    gl_Position = ftransform();
}


uniform sampler2D tex0;
uniform sampler2D tex1;
uniform sampler2D tex2;
uniform sampler2D tex3;

void main(void) 
{ 
    gl_FragColor = texture2D(tex0, gl_TexCoord[0].st);
}

I tried to use gl_FragColor[4] instead of gl_FragColor to associate this texture with GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT4 in the OpenGL FBO, but it gave me an error, for conversion from float vector into float value. That’s why i use gl_FragColor temporarily for now.

My questions are:

  • [li]How can i access these fbo textures in GLSL?[*]How can i input the 1st texture to the 5th texture? (or copy from the first texture to the fifth texture?)

And here is the complete source for the program (in case needed):

int main (int argc, char **argv) {
    glutInit(&argc, argv); // Initialize GLUT
    glutInitDisplayMode (GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_DEPTH | GLUT_RGBA); // Set up a basic display buffer (only single buffered for now)
    glutInitWindowSize (1280, 500); // Set the width and height of the window
    glutInitWindowPosition (100, 100); // Set the position of the window
    glutCreateWindow ("OpenGL FBO"); // Set the title for the window

    if (GLEW_OK != glewInit()) {
        std::cout << "Couldn't initialize GLEW" << std::endl;
        exit(0);
    }
    initShader();
    init();

    glutDisplayFunc(display); // Tell GLUT to use the method "display" for rendering
    glutIdleFunc(display); // Tell GLUT to use the method "display" for rendering
    glutReshapeFunc(reshape); // Tell GLUT to use the method "reshape" for reshaping
    glutKeyboardFunc(keyPressed); // Tell GLUT to use the method "keyPressed" for key presses
    glutKeyboardUpFunc(keyUp); // Tell GLUT to use the method "keyUp" for key up events
    glutMainLoop(); // Enter GLUT's main loop
}

and to note, there is some inconsistencies displayed when only one glActiveTexture command is activated. For example, this is the screenshot that i got when only glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0) is activated (and comment out some other glActiveTexture commands):

and also:

when only glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE1) is activated,

when only glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE2) is activated, and


when only glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE3) is activated.

Thanks in advance for the help :slight_smile: .

Although i did not check your code in detail and did not find the/any error by quickly browsing over it, i would suggest to call glGetError() from time to time to see if anything went wrong.
