I'm trying to display textures on quads (2 triangles) using opengl 3.3
Drawing a texture on a quad works great; however when I have ONE textures (sprite atlas) but using 2 quads(objects) to display different parts of the atlas. When in draw loop, they end up switching back and fourth(one disappears than appears again, etc) at their individual translated locations.
The way I'm drawing this is not the standard DrawElements for each quad(or object) but I package all quads, uv, translations, etc send them up to the shader as one big chunk (as "in" variables): Vertex shader:
#version 330 core
// Input vertex data, different for all executions of this shader.
in vec3 vertexPosition_modelspace;
in vec3 vertexColor;
in vec2 vertexUV;
in vec3 translation;
in vec4 rotation;
in vec3 scale;
// Output data ; will be interpolated for each fragment.
out vec2 UV;
// Output data ; will be interpolated for each fragment.
out vec3 fragmentColor;
// Values that stay constant for the whole mesh.
uniform mat4 MVP;
...
void main(){
mat4 Model = mat4(1.0);
mat4 t = translationMatrix(translation);
mat4 s = scaleMatrix(scale);
mat4 r = rotationMatrix(vec3(rotation), rotation[3]);
Model *= t * r * s;
gl_Position = MVP * Model * vec4 (vertexPosition_modelspace,1); //* MVP;
// The color of each vertex will be interpolated
// to produce the color of each fragment
fragmentColor = vertexColor;
// UV of the vertex. No special space for this one.
UV = vertexUV;
}
Is the vertex shader working as I think it would with a large chunk of data - that it draws each segment passed up as uniform individually because it does not seem like it? Is my train of thought correct on this?
For completeness this is my fragment shader:
#version 330 core
// Interpolated values from the vertex shaders
in vec3 fragmentColor;
// Interpolated values from the vertex shaders
in vec2 UV;
// Ouput data
out vec4 color;
// Values that stay constant for the whole mesh.
uniform sampler2D myTextureSampler;
void main()
{
// Output color = color of the texture at the specified UV
color = texture2D( myTextureSampler, UV ).rgba;
}
A request for more information was made so I will put how i bind this data up to the vertex shader. The following code is just one I use for my translations. I have more for color, rotation, scale, uv, etc:
gl.BindBuffer(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, tvbo)
gl.BufferData(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, len(data.Translations)*4, gl.Ptr(data.Translations), gl.DYNAMIC_DRAW)
tAttrib := uint32(gl.GetAttribLocation(program, gl.Str("translation\x00")))
gl.EnableVertexAttribArray(tAttrib)
gl.VertexAttribPointer(tAttrib, 3, gl.FLOAT, false, 0, nil)
...
gl.DrawElements(gl.TRIANGLES, int32(len(elements)), gl.UNSIGNED_INT, nil)
