FrameBufferTextureGenerator stereo problem

Quite a regular

Hello!

We have found some problem with using the FrameBufferTextureGenerator node.
It seems like when chaining several of these together there are some problems
with the stereo-rendering on certain positions combined with certain
orientations of the viewpoint.

As a example we have implemented a Bloom effect by rendering the scene to a
texture, extracting the bright parts of this texture, blurring the bright
parts of the texture and then finally combining the blurred texture with the
original. This required three FrameBufferTextureGenerator nodes chained together.

We noticed then that the stereo stopped working with the position [-0.1; 0; 0.8]
and the orientation [0; 1; 0; -0.25]. Changing the position to [0; 0; 0.8] or
changing the orientation to [0; 1; 0; 0.251] got it working again.

By setting the stereo mode to Vertical Split in H3DViewer we noticed that with
the non-working position and orientation the left side doesn't render.
Investigating further with the FBODebugger node we noticed that this doesn't
happen in the first FrameBuffer but in all following FrameBuffers.

Do you have any idea why this might be happening? Are there some easy solutions to this problem?

Specs:
OS: Windows 7
Graphics card: NVIDIA GTX 960
H3D 2.3

Just can't stay away

hi,

I tested here with a small example to chain three FBTGs nodes to try to reproduce your issue but without success.
Here is the example i am using:


<Scene>

    <Viewpoint position='-0.1 0 0.8' orientation=' 0 1 0 -0.25' />



    <Group>

      <FrameBufferTextureGenerator DEF="GEN" outputTextureType="2D" generateColorTextures="RGBA" >

        <!-- Scene to render to texture -->

        <Shape>

          <Appearance>

            <Material diffuseColor="1 0 0" />

          </Appearance>



          <Box size="0.2 0.2 0.2" />

        </Shape>

      </FrameBufferTextureGenerator>

      <FrameBufferTextureGenerator DEF="GEN1" outputTextureType="2D" generateColorTextures="RGBA">

        <Shape>

          <Appearance DEF="APP1" >

            <Material/>

            <MultiTexture DEF="MT1" />

          </Appearance>

          <FullscreenRectangle screenAligned="true" />

        </Shape>

      </FrameBufferTextureGenerator>

      <ROUTE fromNode="GEN" fromField="colorTextures" toNode="MT1" toField="texture" />

      

      <FrameBufferTextureGenerator DEF="GEN2" outputTextureType="2D" generateColorTextures="RGBA">

        <Shape>

          <Appearance DEF="APP2" >

            <Material/>

            <MultiTexture DEF="MT2" />

          </Appearance>

          <FullscreenRectangle screenAligned="true" />

        </Shape>

      </FrameBufferTextureGenerator>

      <ROUTE fromNode="GEN1" fromField="colorTextures" toNode="MT2" toField="texture" />

      

      <!-- Shape for rendering depth texture on -->

      <Shape>

        <Appearance DEF="APP" >

          <Material/>

          <MultiTexture DEF="MT" />

        </Appearance>

        <FullscreenRectangle screenAligned="true" />

      </Shape>

    </Group>



    <ROUTE fromNode="GEN2" fromField="colorTextures" toNode="MT" toField="texture" />

</Scene>

I am testing with the trunk.

Could you also test with my example. Also it is better if you can provide an example to reproduce your issue.

Thank you for your reply, I will test your example and reply with an example that describes our problem better.

Hi again,

We get some problems with your example as well, not at the same orientation and position through.
While using the mouse to rotate the scene we noticed that again at times the left and/or the
right buffer (using Vertical split) doesn't render correctly. See attached screenshot: frame_buffer_problem.jpg

Since we are using the 2.3.0 release from the default release we guess that the problem has been fixed along the development...
but it would be nice if you test our example as well to make sure

Below is our x3d file (with the scene exchanged to the same box as your example):

Hello,

I tested your example with the trunk version, it works all fine in stereo version. Also, i rechecked the example i provided with various orientations, it still looks fine with trunk version.

So , it is very likely an issue in release 2.3 which get resolved later. I highly recommend you to try the trunk version
