Question

我正试图围绕如何适当地使用VAO进行实例化渲染（特别是在Qt 5.2中，使用OpenGL 3.3）。我的理解是VAO保存了VBO和相关属性的状态，这样您就不必担心在绘图时绑定和启用所有内容，只需绑定VAO即可。但是通过实例化，您经常会有多个VBO。你如何解决所有需要绑定它们的问题？或者我只需要为每个顶点数据和每个实例数据使用一个VBO吗？

我一直在看几个教程，例如：http://ogldev.atspace.co.uk/www/tutorial33/tutorial33.html

在我看来，他所做的就是使用VAO作为他的每个顶点数据而不是他的每个实例数据。我尝试用基于Qt的代码做同样的事情，它对我不起作用（可能是因为我不完全理解它是如何工作的......当绘图发生时，他的实例数据是否仍然需要绑定？）

一些虚拟代码......这有点傻，我只是绘制了两个三角形的单个实例，透视矩阵作为每个实例属性。

更新：我已经尝试摆脱我的_matbo缓冲区，而是将矩阵数据放入与位置和颜色属性相同的VBO中，但它对我不起作用。我的initGL功能现在看起来像：

void GLWindow::initGL()
{  
  setupShaders();
  _program->bind();
  _positionAttr = _program->attributeLocation("position");
  _colourAttr = _program->attributeLocation("colour");
  _matrixAttr = _program->attributeLocation("matrix");

  QVector<QVector3D> triangles;
  triangles << QVector3D(-0.5, 0.5, 1) << QVector3D(-0.5, -0.5, 1) << QVector3D(0.5, -0.5, 1);
  triangles << QVector3D(0.5, 0.5, 0.5) << QVector3D(-0.5, -0.5, 0.5) << QVector3D(0.5, -0.5, 0.5);

  QVector<QVector3D> colours;
  colours << QVector3D(1, 0, 0) << QVector3D(0, 1, 0) << QVector3D(0, 0, 1);
  colours << QVector3D(1, 1, 1) << QVector3D(1, 1, 1) << QVector3D(1, 1, 1);

  _vao.create();
  _vao.bind();

  _vbo.create();
  _vbo.setUsagePattern(QOpenGLBuffer::StaticDraw);
  _vbo.bind();

  size_t positionSize = triangles.size() * sizeof(QVector3D);
  size_t colourSize = colours.size() * sizeof(QVector3D);
  size_t matrixSize = 4 * sizeof(QVector4D);
  _vbo.allocate(positionSize + colourSize + matrixSize);
  _vbo.bind();
  _vbo.write(0, triangles.constData(), positionSize);
  _vbo.write(positionSize, colours.constData(), colourSize);


  _colourOffset = positionSize;
  _matrixOffset = positionSize + colourSize;

  _program->setAttributeBuffer(_positionAttr, GL_FLOAT, 0, 3, 0);
  _program->setAttributeBuffer(_colourAttr, GL_FLOAT, _colourOffset, 3, 0);
  _program->setAttributeBuffer(_matrixAttr, GL_FLOAT, _matrixOffset, 4, 4 * sizeof(QVector4D));

  _program->enableAttributeArray(_positionAttr);  
  _program->enableAttributeArray(_colourAttr);
  _program->enableAttributeArray(_matrixAttr);
  _func330->glVertexAttribDivisor(_matrixAttr, 1);

  _vao.release();

  _program->release();
  resizeGL(width(), height());
}

和paintGL：

void GLWindow::paintGL()
{
  if (! _context) // not yet initialized
    return;

  _context->makeCurrent(this);
  QColor background(Qt::black);

  glClearColor(background.redF(), background.greenF(), background.blueF(), 1.0f);
  glClearDepth(1.0f);
  glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
  QMatrix4x4 matrix;
  matrix.perspective(60, 4.0/3.0, 0.1, 100.0);
  matrix.translate(0, 0, -2);


  _program->bind();

  _vao.bind();
  _vbo.write(_matrixOffset, matrix.constData(), 4 * sizeof(QVector4D));

  /* I tried replacing the three preceding lines with the following, without success: */

  /*
  _vao.bind();
  _vbo.bind();
  _vbo.write(_matrixOffset, matrix.constData(), 4 * sizeof(QVector4D));


  _program->bind();
  _program->enableAttributeArray(_matrixAttr);
  _func330->glVertexAttribDivisor(_matrixAttr, 1); */

  glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
  _func330->glDrawArraysInstanced(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, 6, 1);

  _vao.release();

  _program->release();

  _context->swapBuffers(this);
  _context->doneCurrent();

}

所以看起来我的实例化问题比在错误的时间绑定错误的缓冲区要大。还有什么我做错了？

Answer 1

我认为你必须为位置创建一个VBO，为颜色创建一个VBO（或使用跨步的交错数据）。 VAO允许您使用多个VBO，每个属性一个。

vao.create();
vao.bind();
// prepare your shader program
// ...
// prepare your VBOs : one VBO for pos, one VBO for colors, one for normals,...
// example for position
vertexPositionBuffer.create();
vertexPositionBuffer.setUsagePattern(QOpenGLBuffer::StaticDraw); 
vertexPositionBuffer.bind();
// if your store the points using QVector<QVector3D>
vertexPositionBuffer.allocate(vertices.constData(), vertices.size() * sizeof(QVector3D));
vertexPositionBuffer.release();
// do the same for colors or other attributes
// ...
// after all buffers are created
shaderProgram.bind();
// Bind the position buffer
vertexPositionBuffer.bind();
shaderProgram.enableAttributeArray("vertexPosition");
shaderProgram.setAttributeBuffer("vertexPosition", GL_FLOAT, 0, 3);
vertexPositionBuffer.release();
// do the same for all other buffers
// ...
shaderProgram.release();
// release vao 
vao.release();

and in your paintGL function:

// update your matrices
// bind your shader program
// set you uniform variables
// then
vao.bind();
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, vertices.size());
vao.release();
// release your shader program

Answer 2

我已经知道了。主要问题是：

我必须遍历mat4属性的所有四列，设置并启用每个列，并在每个列上调用glVertexAttribDivisor()。
我已经完全搞砸了QOpenGLShaderProgram::setAttributeBuffer()对我的mat4属性的调用。

基本上，您必须将mat4视为四个独立的vec4属性（每列一个）。这并不会影响您如何将QMatrix4x4数据轻松复制到QOpenGLBuffer对象，只是告诉着色器程序处理数据。我在原始问题和The OpenGL Programming Guide's instancing tutorial中链接的教程中都很好地描述了这一点，我只是没有得到它。所以，回到上面glwindow.cpp的第一次尝试，我发现变化很小，现在情况有效：

#include "glwindow.h"

#include <QColor>
#include <QMatrix4x4>
#include <QVector>
#include <QVector3D>

  _program->enableAttributeArray(_matrixAttr);

  _func330->glVertexAttribDivisor(_matrixAttr, 1);
  */      

  // The right way to set up a mat4 attribute for instancing
  for (unsigned i = 0; i < 4; i++)
  {
    _program->setAttributeBuffer(_matrixAttr + i, GL_FLOAT, i * sizeof(QVector4D), 4, 4 * sizeof(QVector4D));
    _program->enableAttributeArray(_matrixAttr + i);
    _func330->glVertexAttribDivisor(_matrixAttr + i, 1);
  }

  _matbo.release();
  _vao.release();

  _program->release();
  resizeGL(width(), height());
}

        _func330->initializeOpenGLFunctions();
      else
      {
        qWarning() << "Could not obtain required OpenGL context version";
        exit(1);
      }

      initGL();
    }

    paintGL();
  }
}

请注意，我还移动了_matbo的绑定并设置了mat4属性，以便在释放VAO之前完成所有操作。我最初对允许多少维也纳国际单位以及何时需要受约束感到困惑。在单个VAO中存在多个VBO没有问题，只是需要绑定正确的一个，并且在调用QOpenGLShaderProgram::setAttributeBuffer()之前需要绑定正确的一个。调用glDraw*()时绑定哪个缓冲区并不重要（我相信如果我对此错误，有人会发表评论）。
