OpenGL 3 is broken in JME RC2

mifth · October 13, 2012, 8:02am

Hi devs!

OpenGL 3 is broken in JME RC2. I tested on 2 different machines with different video cards. And I tested different test classes. All shaders do not work in OpenGL3 (Sky, Unshaded, Lighting).

I add these lines to main() method:

[java]

AppSettings aps = new AppSettings(true);

aps.setRenderer(AppSettings.LWJGL_OPENGL3);

app.setSettings(aps);

[/java]

If I set “LWJGL_OPENGL2”, so everything works ok.

JME Beta worked ok with OpenGL 3.

Tested with official JME test classes:

http://code.google.com/p/jmonkeyengine/source/browse/branches/jme3/src/test/jme3test/texture/TestSkyLoading.java?r=6396

http://code.google.com/p/jmonkeyengine/source/browse/branches/jme3/src/test/jme3test/material/TestSimpleBumps.java?r=6396

http://code.google.com/p/jmonkeyengine/source/search?q=testunshaded&origq=testunshaded&btnG=Search+Trunk

If i set “LWJGL_OPENGL3” so i’ll have only black screen.

I tried 2 different nVidia drivers. Issue is with both.

Bump! Can anybody confirm the issue about OpenGL 3?

Just try to add this to the “main()” method:

[java]AppSettings aps = new AppSettings(true);

aps.setRenderer(AppSettings.LWJGL_OPENGL3);

app.setSettings(aps);[/java]

@nehon , I have the same problem on 2 linux machines. Shaders do not work with OpenGL3 (Gui, Unshaded, Lighting). Can you test it on your machine?

nehon · October 15, 2012, 1:49pm

Please don’t bump.

I’ll test it

Momoko_Fan · October 15, 2012, 8:51pm

Actually, it is supposed to crash. None of the jME3 shaders are OpenGL3 compatible.

Strange that Beta loaded shaders with enabled OpenGL3. It was fake?

I will try to make GLSL150 shader and test it tomorrow for compatibility.

mifth · October 16, 2012, 11:59am

Ok, I tried to test simple OpenGL3 shader (based on Unshaded) but i failed. It seems the render should bind some parameters like: glBindFragDataLocation().

I see empty screen. Something is failed…

Shader:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26887202/JME/OpenGL3/Unshaded2.frag

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26887202/JME/OpenGL3/Unshaded2.j3md

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26887202/JME/OpenGL3/Unshaded2.vert

Code:

[java]

public static void main(String[] args) {

Main app = new Main();

AppSettings aps = new AppSettings(true);

aps.setRenderer(AppSettings.LWJGL_OPENGL3);

app.setSettings(aps);

app.start();

}

@Override

public void simpleInitApp() {

Box b = new Box(Vector3f.ZERO, 1, 1, 1);

Geometry char_boy1 = new Geometry("Box", b);

Material mat1 = new Material(assetManager, "Unshaded2.j3md");

char_boy1.setMaterial(mat1);

char_boy1.setLocalTranslation(0,0,0);

TangentBinormalGenerator.generate(char_boy1);

rootNode.attachChild(char_boy1);

}

[/java]

Is it possible to load OpenGL3 shader to the JME? Did i make something wrong?

nehon · October 16, 2012, 12:10pm

You must have an error in the log.

No any error. Shader is loaded. I had problems with in/out in fragment/vertex. But i fixed it.

Sorry for being a necromancer here, but I also tried to activate the opengl 3 context and got a black screen instead. I think that the problem is in context creation as the procedure disables the compatibility profile. Enabling it brings all back to normal

I hope it’s possible to fix…
Beta1 and Beta2 worked ok with OpenGL3. RC2 has really the issue.

Empire_Phoenix · February 15, 2013, 8:40am

Actually why you need it? the opengl2 profile is forward compatible as far as i remmber, and you are able to use features that are higher with it.

@Empire Phoenix said: Actually why you need it? the opengl2 profile is forward compatible as far as i remmber, and you are able to use features that are higher with it.

Man, nowadays opengl5 will be soon… OpenGL3 is smarter and faster. It has many optimizations and instances support (for the future feature of JME).

pspeed · February 15, 2013, 12:29pm

To me this looks like:
-using non-backwards compatible profile
-using shaders that require backwards compatible profile.
-wondering why you can’t see anything.

I don’t see what the issue is.

My understanding is limited in this area but JME shaders are not written for OpenGL3. You can write your own and they should work but none of the default ones will if you turn off backwards compatibility mode.

…and my understanding is that OpenGL3, 4, 5, 97, 957 would all work anyway if your card supports it and they are properly setup and marked to require it. With or without setting OpenGL 3 specifically (which I thought was only there to turn OFF backwards compatibility mode).

I could be wrong but that’s how I interpret everything I’ve read so far.

@pspeed said: To me this looks like: -using non-backwards compatible profile -using shaders that require backwards compatible profile. -wondering why you can't see anything.
I don’t see what the issue is.

My understanding is limited in this area but JME shaders are not written for OpenGL3. You can write your own and they should work but none of the default ones will if you turn off backwards compatibility mode.

…and my understanding is that OpenGL3, 4, 5, 97, 957 would all work anyway if your card supports it and they are properly setup and marked to require it. With or without setting OpenGL 3 specifically (which I thought was only there to turn OFF backwards compatibility mode).

I could be wrong but that’s how I interpret everything I’ve read so far.

I already tried to use OpenGL3 shaders. Just read entire discussion.

Shader OpenGL3 (The same effect):

And you should also know that Opengl2 shaders should work in Opengl3… Some things are deprecated but they still work for OpenGL3. Issue is in JME.
And as i already said JME Beta1 and Beta2 worked ok with OpenGL3… At least, objects were seen.

@pspeed , if you want i can find the nightly build from what the issue appeared.

@mifth said: Man, nowadays opengl5 will be soon... OpenGL3 is smarter and faster. It has many optimizations and instances support (for the future feature of JME).

This.

Also, more recent version of GLSL have more functionality (texture projection w/o offset…), are easier to write/comprehend, the rest of the API is thinner and more generic and it lets you use better the GPU (particles with geometry shader / transform feedback), etc.

Back on topic, if you have the source of jme resolving this issue is as easy as switching a boolean value. Now I don’t have the code at hand but it’s quite easy to find following the initialization steps
