GLSL examples do not work

Professional Graphics and Rendering Advanced Graphics MDL SDK
#1

Hello all,

I am a new developer to all: GLSL, HLSL, NVIDIA and else.

I am trying to learn now this library and trying to port it in a opengl app.

So I of course want to first make any of 2 opengl examples to work, however both are not:

1- Distilling_GLSL gives the following error :

OpenGL error 0x0506 in file /home/sariug/mdl-sdk-317500.2554/examples/mdl_sdk/distilling_glsl/example_distilling_glsl.cpp, line 1085.

2- Execution_GLSL gives the following error:

Error compiling the fragment shader: 0:78(46): warning: `tex_start' used uninitialized
0:78(17): error: sampler arrays indexed with non-constant expressions are forbidden in GLSL 1.30 and later
0:86(49): warning: `tex_start' used uninitialized
0:86(20): error: sampler arrays indexed with non-constant expressions are forbidden in GLSL 1.30 and later

What would your suggestions be to fix them ?

Best regards,

Hi,

can you give some details on your system? (OS, hardware, driver, OpenGL/GLSL version)

The first idea is that you seem to run a pretty old OpenGL/GLSL version.

Best Regards

Anything is missing ?

#4

Yes, this is helpfull. The distilling example by default uses a few OpenGL extensions. You can increase the compatibility by:
in example_distilling_glsl.cpp
comment line 38 out (i.e. do not define USE_SSBO
uncomment line 50 (#define REMAP_NOISE_FUNCTIONS)

If this does not help we will nood to take a closer look.

#5

you might also try forcing the OpenGL version by setting the environment variable
MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5

#6

Hello,

The error stays unfortunately.

OpenGL error 0x0506 in file /home/sariug/Library_Archive/nvidia_mdl/mdl-sdk-317500.2554/examples/mdl_sdk/distilling_glsl/example_distilling_glsl.cpp, line 1085.

Is there maybe any other idea ?

Best regards,

#7

the error 0x0506 means INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION_EXT
The function is setting up a floating point texture. Googling a bit it seems only the windows driver for intel integrated might support floating point textures.

https://askubuntu.com/questions/640051/is-floating-point-texture-support-enabled-in-mesa
suggests:

[i]If you have not already done so:

Install the latest drivers from oibaf/ppa

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

to check for the floating-point textures:

glxinfo | grep -i texture_float

If you get some output, you may assume that it is present.[/i]

do you get output?

#8

Thats what I was afraid of. If my drivers are not capable of

The output I have gotten is :

GL_ARB_texture_filter_anisotropic, GL_ARB_texture_float, 
    GL_ATI_texture_float, GL_EXT_EGL_sync, GL_EXT_abgr, 
    GL_ARB_texture_float, GL_ARB_texture_gather, 
    GL_ATI_texture_float, GL_EXT_EGL_sync, GL_EXT_abgr, GL_EXT_bgra, 
    GL_OES_texture_cube_map_array, GL_OES_texture_float, 
    GL_OES_texture_float_linear, GL_OES_texture_half_float,

Is not this a proper output ? what do you think ?

#9

The output looks good.
And after the driver update you still get the same error?

#10

Yes exactly…

#11

Hi sariug,

for the problem with execution_glsl, please try replacing tex_lookup_2d() and tex_texel_2d() in example_execution_glsl.frag by these functions:

// Implementation of tex::lookup_*() for a texture_2d texture.
vec4 tex_lookup_2d(uint tex, vec2 coord, int wrap_u, int wrap_v, vec2 crop_u, vec2 crop_v)
{
    if (tex == 0u) return vec4(0);
    switch (tex_start + tex - 1u)
    {
        case  0: return texture(material_texture_samplers_2d[ 0u], coord);
        case  1: return texture(material_texture_samplers_2d[ 1u], coord);
        case  2: return texture(material_texture_samplers_2d[ 2u], coord);
        case  3: return texture(material_texture_samplers_2d[ 3u], coord);
        case  4: return texture(material_texture_samplers_2d[ 4u], coord);
        case  5: return texture(material_texture_samplers_2d[ 5u], coord);

        case 31: return texelFetch(material_texture_samplers_2d[31u], coord, 0);
        default: return vec4(0);
    }
}

And limiting MAX_TEXTURES in example_execution_glsl.cpp to 32 instead of 64.
This will ensure, that the array indices are constant at every texture function call and will additionally improve compatibility with very old graphic cards.

About the distilling_glsl example: Can you tell me, from where create_gl_texture() is called, when it fails, and what the values of target, w, h, format and levels are?

Best regards
