Texture understanding problem

I am binding a 3d and a 1d texture and am passing them to the fragment shader.
in my 1d texture are values saying how strong the values out of the 3d texture are weighted.

ie: color = ValueFrom1D * ValueFrom3D

when i display the color without “valuefrom1d” a color apperas, whereas when i mulitply it wiht “valuefrom1d” my screen stays black. first idea, the texture only has 0 in it. but it hasen’t.

in my main program i am setting up the texture coords to a quad.

 glBegin(GL_QUADS);
  glMultiTexCoord2fARB(GL_TEXTURE0_ARB, 0.0, 1.0);
  glMultiTexCoord2fARB(GL_TEXTURE1_ARB, 0.0, 1.0);
  glVertex3f(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
 
  glMultiTexCoord2fARB(GL_TEXTURE0_ARB, 0.0, 0.0);
  glMultiTexCoord2fARB(GL_TEXTURE1_ARB, 0.0, 0.0);
  glVertex3f(0.0, size*1.0, 0.0);
  
  glMultiTexCoord2fARB(GL_TEXTURE0_ARB, 1.0, 0.0);
  glMultiTexCoord2fARB(GL_TEXTURE1_ARB, 1.0, 0.0);
  glVertex3f(size*1.0, size*1.0, 0.0);
  
  glMultiTexCoord2fARB(GL_TEXTURE0_ARB, 1.0, 1.0);
  glMultiTexCoord2fARB(GL_TEXTURE1_ARB, 1.0, 1.0);
  glVertex3f(size*1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
 glEnd();      
 

for that i am not sure if im am setting the GL_TEXTURE1_ARB up correctly (this is the 1d texture, array actually)
also i pass the coord on throgh my vertex shader.

     
    gl_TexCoord[0] = gl_MultiTexCoord0;
    gl_TexCoord[1] = gl_MultiTexCoord1;
 

in my understanding i should be able now to access the values of my 1d texture appropriatly in the fragment shader.

 
uniform sampler3D Texel;
uniform sampler1D Eigen;

void main(void)
{
     vec3  texval;
     vec3  color;
     float eigen;

    for(float i=0.0; i < 1.0; i+=1.0/200.0)
    {
        texval  = texture3D(Texel, vec3((gl_TexCoord[0]).st,i)).rgb;
        eigen   = texture1D(Eigen, i);
        color  += texval*eigen;
    }

    gl_FragColor = vec4(color, 1.0);
}
 

the step of 1.0/200.0 is because the 3d texture is 200 layers deep and the 1 d texture has 200 entries, for each layer one.
but when i run the app like this only a black screen appears.
when i set the color to:

color  += texval; 
 

my values out of the 3d texture are summed up and displayed properly (not black)
now i am not quite sure if i map my texture coords properly

  • Is the shader compiling correctly?
  • Did you set the samplers to the correct texture units?
    Default is, both point to 0 and that’s not possible with different texture targets, which would fail to run with an INVALID_OPERATION error (I think).
  • A 1D texture doesn’t mean your texture data is only one component! So I guess you used a 1D luminance texture?
    Check the OpenGL specs how luminance is mapped to RGBA when fetched from a texture.
    More correct would be to use vec3 eigen or vec3(texture1D(Eigen, i).r);
  • Optimization: Your multitexture coordinates are the same, no need to use both attributes if that remains this way.
  • glTexCoord[1] is not used.
  • color is not initialized to vec3(0.0).

thanks a lot for your reply.
with your help i found the mistake. in my glTexImage1D i used GL_ALPHA as identifier and not GL_LUMINANCE
cheers mate
