Code :

#include "global.h"

CModel::CModel(){}
 
CModel::~CModel()

void CModel::init(char *fileName)

    CShaderLoader  shaders;
 
    loader.loadData(fileName);
 
    loader.createDataArray( m_dataArray,
                            m_dataArraySizes,
                            m_numObjects,
                            m_numElements,
                            m_textureIDs );
 
    glGenVertexArrays(1, &m_vertexArrayID);
    glBindVertexArray(m_vertexArrayID);
 
    glEnableVertexAttribArray(0);
    glEnableVertexAttribArray(1);
 
    m_programID      = shaders.loadShaders("vertexshader.vert", "fragmentshader.frag");
 
    //m_matrixUniform  = glGetUniformLocation(m_programID, "MVP");
    //m_textureUniform = glGetUniformLocation(m_programID, "myTextureSampler");

    for(unsigned int i=0; i<m_numObjects; i++)
    {
        glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, m_bufferIDs[i]);
        glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(float)*m_dataArraySizes[i], m_dataArray[i], GL_STATIC_DRAW);
        glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
    }
 
}
 
void CModel::draw(glm::mat4 &MVP)
{
    glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);

        glUniform1i(textureUniform, 0);
 
        glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, m_bufferIDs[i]);
        // vertices
        glEnableVertexAttribArray(0);
        glVertexAttribPointer(
                0,                  // must match the layout in the shader.
                3,                  // size

could you try to draw only the first object please, to do so just modify the for loop to for(unsigned int i=0; i<1; i++), see what if you get the texture right or not.

**mandyedi** · 12-05-2012, 01:30 PM

I tried, draw only the first, then I draw only the second. The texture was the same noisy image.

**Power2012** · 12-05-2012, 01:37 PM

you have 2 objects, 2 VBOs, and 1 VAO. I'd suggest to create 2 VAOs rather than just 1

**Power2012** · 12-05-2012, 01:47 PM

also could you remove these from the draw() function, and put them into init() function:

glUniform1i(textureUniform, 0);

glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, m_bufferIDs[i]);
// vertices
glEnableVertexAttribArray(0);
glVertexAttribPointer(
0, // must match the layout in the shader.
3, // size
GL_FLOAT, // type
GL_FALSE, // normalized?
sizeof(float)*8, // stride
(void*)0 // array buffer offset
);

// UVs
glEnableVertexAttribArray(1);
glVertexAttribPointer(
1,
2,
GL_FLOAT,
GL_FALSE,
sizeof(float)*8,
(void*)6
);

glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, m_numElements[i]);

glDisableVertexAttribArray(0);
glDisableVertexAttribArray(1);

and use 2 VAOs in init(), register these 2 VBOs to the 2 VAOs respectively.

and in the draw() function, call glBindVertexArray() with proper VAO handle, before the glDrawArray command.

this is part of my program, hopefully it helps

Code :

Thanks for the help. I've never used VAO so it is a bit confusing. I know what it is used for, but I don't really understand what should I put in the init and put in the draw.
For example the glBindTexture, where does it go? And the uniforms:
glUniformMatrix4fv(matrixUniform, 1, GL_FALSE, &MVP[0][0]);
glUniform1i(textureUniform, 0);
Are these also going to the init()?

**Power2012** · 12-05-2012, 02:26 PM

here is a tutorial about VAO which might help

http://programming4.us/multimedia/8300.aspx

**Power2012** · 12-05-2012, 02:36 PM

if you are using 1 texture unit (such as GL_TEXTURE0), then before you draw an object you need to bind the appropriate texture, so glBindTexture will go in the draw();

you don't need to call glUniform1i(textureUniform, 0) multiple times, so it's better in init();

if MVP is changing every time, for example, the object is rotating then you need to update MVP, in this case glUniformMatrix4fv(matrixUniform, 1, GL_FALSE, &MVP[0][0]) will be in the draw(), otherwise put it in init()

**mandyedi** · 12-05-2012, 03:19 PM

I changed my code, I'm suing VAO and I put the glUniform1i in the init. The result is still the same. Maybe the problem is somewhere else? I'm suing SDL for handling the window and load images.
I'm going to sleep. Thanks for your help, I'll be back tomorrow and continue to fixing this issue.
Here is the code as I changed based on your tips:
