Unable to get Stencil Buffer to work in iOS 4+ (5.0 works fine). [OpenGL ES 2.0]
- by MurderDev
So I am trying to use a stencil buffer in iOS for masking/clipping purposes. Do you guys have any idea why this code may not work? This is everything I have associated with Stencils. On iOS 4 I get a black screen. On iOS 5 I get exactly what I expect. The transparent areas of the image I drew in the stencil are the only areas being drawn later.
Code is below.
This is where I setup the frameBuffer, depth and stencil. In iOS the depth and stencil are combined.
-(void)setupDepthBuffer
{
glGenRenderbuffers(1, &depthRenderBuffer);
glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, depthRenderBuffer);
glRenderbufferStorage(GL_RENDERBUFFER, GL_DEPTH24_STENCIL8_OES, self.frame.size.width * [[UIScreen mainScreen] scale], self.frame.size.height * [[UIScreen mainScreen] scale]);
}
-(void)setupFrameBuffer
{
glGenFramebuffers(1, &frameBuffer);
glBindFramebuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, frameBuffer);
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0, GL_RENDERBUFFER, colorRenderBuffer);
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT, GL_RENDERBUFFER, depthRenderBuffer);
glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT, GL_RENDERBUFFER, depthRenderBuffer);
// Check the FBO.
if(glCheckFramebufferStatus(GL_FRAMEBUFFER) != GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE) {
NSLog(@"Failure with framebuffer generation: %d", glCheckFramebufferStatus(GL_FRAMEBUFFER));
}
}
This is how I am setting up and drawing the stencil. (Shader code below.)
glEnable(GL_STENCIL_TEST);
glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glColorMask(GL_FALSE, GL_FALSE, GL_FALSE, GL_FALSE);
glDepthMask(GL_FALSE);
glStencilFunc(GL_ALWAYS, 1, -1);
glStencilOp(GL_KEEP, GL_KEEP, GL_REPLACE);
glColorMask(0, 0, 0, 0);
glClear(GL_STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT);
machineForeground.shader = [StencilEffect sharedInstance];
[machineForeground draw];
machineForeground.shader = [BasicEffect sharedInstance];
glDisable(GL_STENCIL_TEST);
glColorMask(GL_TRUE, GL_TRUE, GL_TRUE, GL_TRUE);
glDepthMask(GL_TRUE);
Here is where I am using the stencil.
glEnable(GL_STENCIL_TEST);
glStencilOp(GL_KEEP, GL_KEEP, GL_KEEP);
glStencilFunc(GL_EQUAL, 1, -1);
...Draw Stuff here
glDisable(GL_STENCIL_TEST);
Finally here is my fragment shader.
varying lowp vec2 TexCoordOut;
uniform sampler2D Texture;
void main(void)
{
lowp vec4 color = texture2D(Texture, TexCoordOut);
if(color.a < 0.1)
gl_FragColor = color;
else
discard;
}
