I'm trying to render arbitrary wide lines (in screen space) using a geometry shader. At first it seems all good, but on certain view position the lines are rendered incorrectly:
The image on the left present the correct rendering (three lines on positive X, Y and Z axes, 2 pixel wide).
When the camera moves near the origin (and indeed near the lines), the lines are rendered like the right image. The shader seems straightforward, and I don't understand what's going on my GPU:
--- Vertex Shader
#version 410 core
// Modelview-projection matrix
uniform mat4 ds_ModelViewProjection;
// Vertex position
in vec4 ds_Position;
// Vertex color
in vec4 ds_Color;
// Processed vertex color
out vec4 ds_VertexColor;
void main()
{
gl_Position = ds_ModelViewProjection * ds_Position;
ds_VertexColor = ds_Color;
}
--- Geometry Shader
#version 410 core
// Viewport size, in pixels
uniform vec2 ds_Viewport;
// Line width, in pixels
uniform float ds_LineWidth = 2.0;
// Processed vertex color (from VS, in clip space)
in vec4 ds_VertexColor[2];
// Processed primitive vertex color
out vec4 ds_GeoColor;
layout (lines) in;
layout (triangle_strip, max_vertices = 4) out;
void main()
{
vec3 ndc0 = gl_in[0].gl_Position.xyz / gl_in[0].gl_Position.w;
vec3 ndc1 = gl_in[1].gl_Position.xyz / gl_in[1].gl_Position.w;
vec2 lineScreenForward = normalize(ndc1.xy - ndc0.xy);
vec2 lineScreenRight = vec2(-lineScreenForward.y, lineScreenForward.x);
vec2 lineScreenOffset = (vec2(ds_LineWidth) / ds_ViewportSize) * lineScreenRight;
gl_Position = vec4(ndc0.xy + lineScreenOffset, ndc0.z, 1.0);
ds_GeoColor = ds_VertexColor[0];
EmitVertex();
gl_Position = vec4(ndc0.xy - lineScreenOffset, ndc0.z, 1.0);
ds_GeoColor = ds_VertexColor[0];
EmitVertex();
gl_Position = vec4(ndc1.xy + lineScreenOffset, ndc1.z, 1.0);
ds_GeoColor = ds_VertexColor[1];
EmitVertex();
gl_Position = vec4(ndc1.xy - lineScreenOffset, ndc1.z, 1.0);
ds_GeoColor = ds_VertexColor[1];
EmitVertex();
EndPrimitive();
}
--- Fragment Shader
// Processed primitive vertex color
in vec4 ds_GeoColor;
// The fragment color.
out vec4 ds_FragColor;
void main()
{
ds_FragColor = ds_GeoColor;
}
Your mistake is in this:
gl_Position = vec4(ndc0.xy + lineScreenOffset, ndc0.z, 1.0 /* WRONG */);
To fix it:
vec4 cpos = gl_in[0].gl_Position;
gl_Position = vec4(cpos.xy + lineScreenOffset*cpos.w, cpos.z, cpos.w);
What you did was: lose information about W, and thus detune the HW clipper, downgrading it from a 3D clipper into a 2D one.
