    copied!<p>What is the correct way of doing the following:</p> <ol> <li>Render a scene into a texture using a FBO (fbo-a)</li> <li>Then apply an effect using the texture (tex-a) and render this into another texture (tex-b) using the same fbo (fbo-a)</li> <li>Then render this second texture, with the applied effect (tex-b) as a full screen quad.</li> </ol> <p>My approach is this, but this gives me a texture filled with "noise" on window + the applied effect (all pixels are randomly colored red, green, blue white, black). </p> <ul> <li>I'm using one FBO, with two textures set to GL_COLOR_ATTACHENT0 (tex-a) and GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT1 (tex-b)</li> <li>I bind my fbo, make sure it's rendered into the tex-a using glDrawBuffer(GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0)</li> <li>Then I apply the effect in a shader with tex-a bound and set as 'sampler2D'. Using texture unit 1, and switch to the second color attachment (glDrawBuffer(GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT1)). and render a full screen quad. Everything is now rendered into tex-b </li> <li>Then I switch back to the default FBO (0) and use tex-b with a full screen quad to render the result.</li> </ul> <p><em>Example of the result when applying my shader</em> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/3iTiY.png" alt="enter noise"></p> <p>This is the shader I'm using. I'm not aware this could be what is causing this, but maybe the noise is caused by a overflow?</p> <p><strong>Vertex shader</strong></p> <pre><code>attribute vec4 a_pos; attribute vec2 a_tex; varying vec2 v_tex; void main() { mat4 ident = mat4(1.0); v_tex = a_tex; gl_Position = ident * a_pos; } </code></pre> <p><strong>Fragment shader</strong></p> <pre><code>uniform int u_mode; uniform sampler2D u_texture; uniform float u_exposure; uniform float u_decay; uniform float u_density; uniform float u_weight; uniform float u_light_x; uniform float u_light_y; const int NUM_SAMPLES = 100; varying vec2 v_tex; void main() { if (u_mode == 0) { vec2 pos_on_screen = vec2(u_light_x, u_light_y); vec2 delta_texc = vec2(v_tex.st - pos_on_screen.xy); vec2 texc = v_tex; delta_texc *= 1.0 / float(NUM_SAMPLES) * u_density; float illum_decay = 1.0; for(int i = 0; i &lt; NUM_SAMPLES; i++) { texc -= delta_texc; vec4 sample = texture2D(u_texture, texc); sample *= illum_decay * u_weight; gl_FragColor += sample; illum_decay *= u_decay; } gl_FragColor *= u_exposure; } else if(u_mode == 1) { gl_FragColor = texture2D(u_texture, v_tex); gl_FragColor.a = 1.0; } } </code></pre> <p>I've read this <a href="http://www.opengl.org/wiki/Framebuffer_Object" rel="nofollow noreferrer">FBO article</a> on opengl.org, where they describe a feedback loop at the bottom of the article. The description is not completely clear to me and I'm wondering if I'm exactly doing what they describe there. </p> <p><strong>Update 1:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://gist.github.com/11d7b8ee5db1283dc2a8#comments" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Link to source code</a></p> <p><strong>Update 2:</strong></p> <p>When I first set <code>gl_FragColor.rgb = vec3(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);</code> before I start the sampling loop (with NUM_SAMPLES), it works find. No idea why though.</p>
