Version updates!

As Kaiidyn mentions, you have to do a complete render cycle, i.e. with renderScene, draw, display. A simple blit isn't sufficient. It might work to use display only if all you do is blitting into the render target, but i'm not 100% sure about this. If it doesn't work, just use a dummy world.

[Thomas.]

I use code without renderScene and draw in another case and it is working... so now I add fb.display() (also tried renderScene and draw), same result with texture, but it look like every rendered frame is in lower resolution...

Code Select Expand

fb.setRenderTarget(tex);
fb.clear();
textureBlitter();
fb.display();
fb.removeRenderTarget();
fb.clear();

[Kaiidyn]

I think you should not set and remove the renderTarget in every frame, set it in your initialization.. then put the clear, blitter and display in your loop, also remove the 2nd clear, as there is no point in doing it twice (except for making your render slower)

[EgonOlsen]

No, you have to add and remove it in every frame or otherwise, you'll render everything into the texture and nothing on screen. Maybe it helps if i clarify a little what this actually does (at least in the Android implementation, because it lacks fbo support):

When setting a render target, the view port is limited to the texture size. Then you render your scene as usual. After calling display, the rendered image is copied from the frame buffer into the render target texture. If you remove the render target, the viewport is reset to match the frame buffer's size.

@Thomas: I don't get that "lower resolution" description...do you have a screen shot?

[Thomas.]

In my app I use this test code... Can anybody provide some part of code, that render to texture working?

Code Select Expand

if (first) {
Thread lb = new GameLoader();
lb.start();
fb.setRenderTarget(tex);
fb.clear();
textureBlitter();
fb.display();
fb.removeRenderTarget();
fb.clear();
}
showLoading(loaded);
fb.display();
first = false;

and here is screen ... after I call renderScene and draw it, "resolution" is correct

[EgonOlsen]

Might be related to this: http://www.jpct.net/forum2/index.php/topic,1592.0.html?

[Thomas.]

this happens when I blit something or render world... is there any solution?

[EgonOlsen]

Have you tried to add a clear like i've mentioned in the linked thread? If not, please provide a test case as i don't fully understand what you are doing there.

If you want to use render to texture as a blit container, you'll run into the problem that the result is displayed upside-down. That's caused by the way OpenGL maps frame buffer to texture coordinates. For blitting, it's a better idea to compose the texture on the bitmap level anyway, The results will look cleaner because they are unaffected by gpu filtering and potential dithering and its more compatible.

[Thomas.]

sorry, problem is on my side... I wrote new test app, too, and it work, so I will have to look where I have bug in my game... and is normal, that texture is flipped around x axis?
PS: ok

[EgonOlsen]

... and is normal, that texture is flipped around x axis?

Yes. As said above, it's caused by the way how OpenGL maps the frame buffer to the texture.

[Polomease]

I tried the new version of jPCT you released using the two examples you posted.
My phone is having a problem with the render targets as well.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S (model: SAMSUNG-SGH-I897) with Android 2.1.

Which version of jPCT-AE is that? The latest that i've posted in this thread?

[EgonOlsen]

]Yes. As said above, it's caused by the way how OpenGL maps the frame buffer to the texture.

BTW: You can flip a blit by doing something like

Code Select Expand


fb.blit(renderTarget, 0, 0, 0, 256, 256, 256, 256, -256, -1, false, null);


instead of

Code Select Expand


fb.blit(renderTarget, 0, 0, 0, 0, 256, 256, 256, 256, -1, false, null);


It's not an official feature but it works due to the way blitting is implemented.
