GLSL texture coordinate generation broken in ver 8756

[jrtimanu]

Hello All,

While trying to implement manual automatic texture coordinate generation in a GLSL shader with the following code, I've found that the gl_ObjectPlane* and gl_EyePlane* uniforms are not being properly assigned with the values provided by the application.

The following snippet of vertex shader code does not work as expected:

gl_TexCoord[0].s = dot( gl_Vertex, gl_ObjectPlaneS[0] );
gl_TexCoord[0].t = dot( gl_Vertex, gl_ObjectPlaneT[0] );

In the applicaiton I initialize the object plane vectors to be the standard orthogonal basis vectors, but the rendered image implies that a shearing matrix as been applied to my inputs. This behaviour happens regardless of the current state of the model view matrix or the texture matrix.

I first noticed this behaviour when upgrading my drivers to 8756. I've reproed the problem both on a Quadro FX 1100 and a Quadro FX 4000.

The operating system and machine type used to repro this behaviour are as follows:
Linux 2.4.21-27.ELsmp #2 SMP x86_64 GNU/Linux

Has anyone else noticed this behaviour? Is there a workaround? Will it be resolved in the next set of drivers?

Thanks,

Jeff

Please provide a reproducible test case along with an nvidia-bug-report.log.

Thanks,

I am experiencing the same problem here with two of my own applications. One is using texgen for a 3D texture volume renderer, and the other is using texgen for shadow mapping. Using the gl_ObjectPlane with built-in uniforms with a 3D texture gives me sheared texture coordinates. With gl_EyePlane in the shadow mapping app, I'm not sure exactly what the transform is, but the texcoords are definitely wrong.

As a workaround, I switched to using generic uniforms and it works as expected. The built-in uniforms were working up until the 8756 driver. I've seen it on multiple cards: GeForce 6800 GT, GeForce 7900 GT, and Quadro 4400. It also happens with both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers, and I've seen it in RedHat Enterprise WS 3, FC4, and FC5.

I'm also seeing this same texgen problem with GLSL, and I've also hit some
internal compiler errors on a different shader.

Hi,
The VMD test dataset I'm using to expose the various bugs in the 8756 drivers is a bit too large for the forum's upload limit (6MB) so I've posted them for you here in both zip/tar.gz formats:

Even the nvidia-bug-report.log file is too big for the forum's 100KB limit, perhaps you guys ought to crank up the file size limits..... :-)

Hi jrtimanu

I think I have the same problem as you.
How did you solve it out (if you did ) ?

Update: I just installed the 9625 beta drivers, they seem to solve my problem!
