iPad,render to texture, low framerate
Hi everyone, this is my first posting here.
I've modified the OpenGL es 2.0 template in Xcode to render that little box to an offscreen texture (50*50), then reset the view port and render the texture to the screen using a fullscreen quad. But the FPS dropped down so much that obvious lags were seen (about 10).
I know iPad has problems concerning fillrate, but this just doesn't seem right. I used only one FBO and changed its color attachment between texture and renderBuffer in the loop. Does this have any influence?
Besides, I was writing an audio visualizer (like the one in Windows Media Player) editing pixel values in OpenGL. Any suggestions?
Thanx in advance.
here goes the code:

here goes the code:
Code:
//implement the texture in -(id)init
glGenTextures(1, &ScreenTex);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, ScreenTex);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGB, texSize, texSize, 0, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, nil);
//And in the render loop
//draw to the texture
glViewport(0, 0, texSize, texSize);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, ScreenTex);
glFramebufferTexture2D(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_TEXTURE_2D, ScreenTex, 0);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glVertexAttribPointer(ATTRIB_VERTEX, 2, GL_FLOAT, 0, 0, squareVertices);
glUniform1i(Htunnel, 0);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);
//switch to render to render buffer here
glViewport(0, 0, backingWidth, backingHeight);
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, colorRenderbuffer);
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_RENDERBUFFER,colorRenderbuffer);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glVertexAttribPointer(ATTRIB_VERTEX, 2, GL_FLOAT, 0, 0, texVertices);
glUniform1i(Htunnel, 1);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);
//vertex shader
void main()
{
if (tunnel==0) {
gl_Position = position;
gl_Position.y += sin(translate) / 2.0;
colorVarying = color;
}else {
f_texCoord = v_texCoord;
gl_Position = position;
}
}
//frag shader
void main()
{
if (tunnel==0) {
gl_FragColor = colorVarying;
} else {
gl_FragColor = texture2D(s_texture, f_texCoord);
}
}
