Hello,
I am working on this small patch and would like to repeat a geo (square) several times but i am limited to 42 times. Do you know why ?
it's strange, but i have the same limitation. 42 is the answer. ;-)
OK :) It seems this number depends if i pass the varying variable gl_Color to the fragment shader, right ? Because i can draw my square 85 times without this variable in the fragment shader (gl_FragColor=vec4(1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0) instead of gl_FragColor=gl_Color). But what else ? How can i determine this value (42 or 85) with the specifications of my GPU ?
I thought it would be possible to use shader to draw much more geos with this method (with an equation in this shader), but i was wrong. So i have to draw a 'curve' with vertices (with something like [polygon] or with [GEMglVertex3f]) and then apply a geometry shader ? This is not very easy if i have 100 vertices to define ! :) I hope that i miss something. I will dig tomorrow. Thanx. ++
