OpenGL all particles are black

Messages : 6 Date d'inscription : 2011-04-11

I use Spark with pure OpenGL + glu + glut (no SDL)
I copy code from Fountain Demo.
I load textures using Irrlicht and then got its OpenGL id-s. Id-s is valid.

All particles rendered as black quads. If I turn on blending its become invisible.
All another 3D models are drowed perfect using OpenGL.

Hi, are you sure the OpenGL texture parameters are well set for this texture id ?

You can also try to wrap your SPARK render code with :

Code:: GLRenderer::saveGLStates ();
// render spark systems
// ...
GLRenderer::restoreGLStates();

I isolate all states in my project so now render use default parameters and renders only particles. Nothing affect it.
I add identical custom procedural texture generator for your samples and my project. In your samples all works, in my project all particle black. So this is no texture problem.
I use 2010 studio and rebuild engine for 2010. When I rebuild your OpenGL's samples for 2010 they crash on render in release and debug.

Note that with Irrlicht and 2010 studio all works fine. Irrlicht I rebuild for 2010 too.
I check your render code in GLQuadRenderer. All was written fine and mast work. Looks like the problem is in invalid texcoord pointer.

Looks like problem is in MSW 2010 and some additional libs witch using SPARK. Now I use SPARK 1.05.04.
I try to use SPARK 1.5.5.

I succes build your demos for 2010. All work fine. But in my program all the same. Very strange((

I will write simple demo and try to localize bug.

I think I found the issue. I render OpenGL using Irrlicht OpenGL device. When I turn it off and set up SDL or GLUT device all rendered fine.

So when I use GLQuadRenderer with Irrlicth device this bug occurs. Why?

My 2 cents: why using Irrlicht just for file management ? Do not forget that Irrlicht might alter the gl device without informing you Wink

I think you should use only OpenGL and SDL, or just Irrlicht (I advise you the second choice, because it allows you to use DirectX without changing the code)

Irrlicht is very slow engine. For pure OpenGL I use NULL driver.
