I don't know how to know if there's a depth buffer attached while running. Can't you just look at your frame buffer creation code and see if it's attaching a depth buffer? Heck, search your project for glGenFramebuffersOES. It should be right there somewhere.

glGetIntegerv(GL_DEPTH_BITS, &bits);

Ah, of course! I was thinking directly of querying for the depth buffer attachment, but if bits shows up zip, then that'd do the trick.

Hello again,

I thought it would be best if i just showed you the render buffer setup function so its easier to work out if ive got whats needed.

Code:

- (BOOL)createFramebuffer

{

    glGenFramebuffersOES(1, &viewFramebuffer);

    glGenRenderbuffersOES(1, &viewRenderbuffer);

    glBindFramebufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, viewFramebuffer);

    glBindRenderbufferOES(GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, viewRenderbuffer);

    [context renderbufferStorage:GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES fromDrawable:(id<EAGLDrawable>)self.layer];

    glFramebufferRenderbufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0_OES, GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, viewRenderbuffer);

    glGetRenderbufferParameterivOES(GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, GL_RENDERBUFFER_WIDTH_OES, &backingWidth);

    glGetRenderbufferParameterivOES(GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, GL_RENDERBUFFER_HEIGHT_OES, &backingHeight);

    if(glCheckFramebufferStatusOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES) != GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE_OES) {

        NSLog(@"failed to make complete framebuffer object %x", glCheckFramebufferStatusOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES));

        return NO;

    }

    return YES;

}

Thanks for any help

Try this:

Code:

- (BOOL)createFramebuffer

{

    glGenFramebuffersOES(1, &viewFramebuffer);

    glGenRenderbuffersOES(1, &viewRenderbuffer);

    glBindFramebufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, viewFramebuffer);

    glBindRenderbufferOES(GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, viewRenderbuffer);

    [context renderbufferStorage:GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES fromDrawable:(id<EAGLDrawable>)self.layer];

    glFramebufferRenderbufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0_OES, GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, viewRenderbuffer);

    glGetRenderbufferParameterivOES(GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, GL_RENDERBUFFER_WIDTH_OES, &backingWidth);

    glGetRenderbufferParameterivOES(GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, GL_RENDERBUFFER_HEIGHT_OES, &backingHeight);

    // attach depth buffer

    glGenRenderbuffersOES(1, &depthRenderbuffer);

    glBindRenderbufferOES(GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, depthRenderbuffer);

    glRenderbufferStorageOES(GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT16_OES, boundsWidth, boundsHeight);

    glFramebufferRenderbufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT_OES, GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, depthRenderbuffer);

    if(glCheckFramebufferStatusOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES) != GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE_OES) {

        NSLog(@"failed to make complete framebuffer object %x", glCheckFramebufferStatusOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES));

        return NO;

    }

    return YES;

}

The approach I'm taking with my OpenGL ES projects is to draw GL_TRIANGLES pairs (6 verts per quad). I use a single 512x512 texture and layout all my sprites so I can just dump all the translated coords to GL in 1 draw without having to swap the texture. So far I get pretty good performance even with hundreds to thousands of sprites.

Hey,

I tried the code you gave and it is definitely a step in the right direction, there is one problem that needs solving first; the alpha of the png calculates for the road (you can see the road through it) but is solid to each of the other cars so it displays the road instead of the car next to it... any ideas on this one?

Thanks

Depth testing and blending are incompatible. Take a second to think about why.

If you need blending, you have to sort your drawing yourself.

I seem to be having some problems trying to do the same thing. Basically im trying to show various nebulars when I limit the code below to show just one it will work, but when i tell it to show more than one it will just create them all as white squares:

Code:

//Setup code

    for (int ii = 0; ii < numberofNebulars; ii++){

        CGContextRef spriteContext;

        NSMutableString *fn  = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"web%i.jpg", ii];

        CGImageRef spriteImage = [UIImage imageNamed:fn].CGImage;

        if(spriteImage) {

            size_t    width, height;// Creates a Core Graphics image from an image file

            width = CGImageGetWidth(spriteImage);

            height = CGImageGetHeight(spriteImage);

            GLubyte *spriteData = (GLubyte *) malloc(width * height * 4);

            spriteContext = CGBitmapContextCreate(spriteData, width, height, 8, width * 4, CGImageGetColorSpace(spriteImage), kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedLast);

            CGContextDrawImage(spriteContext, CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, (CGFloat)width, (CGFloat)height), spriteImage);

            CGContextRelease(spriteContext);

            GLuint    st;

            glGenTextures(1, &st);

            allNebulars[ii].glTexName=st; 

            glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, st);

            glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA, width, height, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, spriteData);

            free(spriteData);

        }

    }

//Draw code:

            glPushMatrix();

                glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, allNebulars[ii].glTexName);

                glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);        

            glPopMatrix();

Any ideas what im doing wrong?

Wonza,

There are 2 things i'm not seeing. First, I'm not seeing where you are setting the texture coordinates, you know, a call like:

Code:

// Sets up an array of values for the texture coordinates.

const GLshort spriteTexcoords[] = {

0, 0,

1, 0,

0, 1,

1, 1,

};

     glTexCoordPointer(2, GL_SHORT, 0, spriteTexcoords);

    glEnableClientState(GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);

Secondly, either you left out the for loop that is drawing each of your objects, or you are drawing them all at once from 1 vertex pointer. If you just left out the for loop then it looks like it should work. If you havn't and you are drawing them all in one vertex pointer, then you texCoords will need to be much much much larger. Basically repeat the 4 coordinates for every object in your array.

Hi there,
yeah sorry, i just left out the drawing loop to try and shorten it

the full code is here:

Code:

const GLfloat spriteVertices[] = {

-70.0f, -70.0f,

70.0f, -70.0f,

-70.0f,  70.0f,

70.0f,  70.0f,

};

// Sets up an array of values for the texture coordinates.

const GLshort spriteTexcoords[] = {

0, 0,

1, 0,

0, 1,

1, 1,

};

    glDisable(GL_BLEND);

    glDisableClientState(GL_COLOR_ARRAY);

    glVertexPointer(2, GL_FLOAT, 0, spriteVertices);

    glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);

    glTexCoordPointer(2, GL_SHORT, 0, spriteTexcoords);

    glEnableClientState(GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);

    glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);

    glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);

    for (int ss = 0; ss < numberofNebulars; ss++){

        if (allNebulars[ss].active) {

            glPushMatrix();

                glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, allNebulars[ss].glTexName);

                glTranslatef(viewPosition.x+allNebulars[ss].Position.x, viewPosition.y+allNebulars[ss].Position.y, viewPosition.z+allNebulars[ss].Position.z);    

                glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);        

            glPopMatrix();

        }

    }

So, im not sure why its not working for more than one. any ideas? thanks

Wonza,

Ok, having read up on a similar problem Here it turns out that you have to set up the GL_BLEND information like this:

Code:

    // Set the texture parameters to use a minifying filter and a linear filer (weighted average)

    glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);

    // Enable use of the texture

    glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);

    // Set a blending function to use

    glBlendFunc(GL_ONE, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);

    // Enable blending

    glEnable(GL_BLEND);

so just Add the 2 missing functions (glBlendFunc and glEnable) and you should be looking at some nice textures... The blend function is telling opengl to use 1 texture at a time, not to try and multi-texture which is what i believe is getting you those white textures.

Blending doesn't have anything to do with multitexturing. You can use both at the same time.

Wozna, in your code snippet above, you haven't provided mipmaps. Mipmapping is enabled by default, so if you don't provide them, the texture is incomplete and you'll get white (or whatever the primary color is.)

You should disable mipmapping if you don't want to use it.

Thanks, I think you were both talking about the same thing really

I had to set the blending functions you listed before I setup the textures and that worked! thanks!
