| OpenGL ES Extension #143 |
| |
| Dependencies |
| |
| Requires OpenGL ES 2.0. |
| |
| Requires GL_NV_framebuffer_blit. |
| |
| The extension is written against the OpenGL ES 2.0.25 |
| (November 2, 2010) specification. |
| |
| OES_texture_3D affects the definition of this extension. |
| NV_texture_array affects the definition of this extension. |
| |
| This extension interacts with OpenGL ES 3.0 and later versions. |
| |
| Overview |
| |
| This extension extends the framebuffer object framework to |
| enable multisample rendering. |
| |
| The new operation RenderbufferStorageMultisampleNV() allocates |
| storage for a renderbuffer object that can be used as a multisample |
| buffer. A multisample render buffer image differs from a |
| single-sample render buffer image in that a multisample image has a |
| number of SAMPLES that is greater than zero. No method is provided |
| for creating multisample texture images. |
| |
| All of the framebuffer-attachable images attached to a framebuffer |
| object must have the same number of SAMPLES or else the framebuffer |
| object is not "framebuffer complete". If a framebuffer object with |
| multisample attachments is "framebuffer complete", then the |
| framebuffer object behaves as if SAMPLE_BUFFERS is one. |
| |
| A resolve operation is executed by calling |
| BlitFramebufferNV (provided by the NV_framebuffer_blit |
| extension) where the source is a multisample framebuffer object |
| and the destination is a single-sample framebuffer object. |
| Source and destination framebuffer may be either application-created |
| or window-system provided. |
| |
| New Procedures and Functions |
| |
| void RenderbufferStorageMultisampleNV( |
| enum target, sizei samples, |
| enum internalformat, |
| sizei width, sizei height); |
| |
| New Tokens |

| |
| RENDERBUFFER_SAMPLES_NV 0x8CAB |
| |
| Returned by CheckFramebufferStatus: |
| |

| |
| Accepted by the <pname> parameter of GetBooleanv, GetIntegerv, |
| and GetFloatv: |
| |

| |
| Additions to Chapter 3 of the OpenGL ES 2.0 Specification (Rasterization) |
| |
| Add to the last paragraph of 3.7.2 (Alternate Texture Image Specification) |
| (as modified by NV_framebuffer_blit) the following: |
| |
| "Calling CopyTexSubImage3DOES, CopyTexSubImage3DNV, |
| CopyTexImage2D or CopyTexSubImage2D will result in INVALID_OPERATION |
| being generated if the object bound to READ_FRAMEBUFFER_BINDING_NV |
| is "framebuffer complete" and the value of SAMPLE_BUFFERS is greater |
| than zero." |
| |
| Additions to Chapter 4 of the OpenGL ES 2.0 Specification (Per-Fragment |
| Operations and the Framebuffer) |
| |
| Add to 4.3.1 (Reading Pixels), right before the subsection titled |
| "Obtaining Pixels from the Framebuffer": |
| |
| "ReadPixels generates INVALID_OPERATION if READ_FRAMEBUFFER_BINDING_NV |
| (section 4.4) is non-zero, the read framebuffer is framebuffer |
| complete, and the value of SAMPLE_BUFFERS for the read framebuffer |
| is greater than zero." |
| |
| In 4.3.2 (Copying Pixels), add to the section describing BlitFramebufferNV |
| that was added by NV_framebuffer_blit. |
| |
| "If SAMPLE_BUFFERS for the read framebuffer is greater than zero and |
| SAMPLE_BUFFERS for the draw framebuffer is zero, the samples |
| corresponding to each pixel location in the source are converted to |
| a single sample before being written to the destination. |
| |
| If SAMPLE_BUFFERS for the read framebuffer is zero and |
| SAMPLE_BUFFERS for the draw framebuffer is greater than zero, the |
| value of the source sample is replicated in each of the destination |
| samples. |
| |
| If SAMPLE_BUFFERS for both the read and draw framebuffers are |
| greater than zero, and the values of SAMPLES for the read and draw |
| framebuffers are identical, the samples are copied without |
| modification from the read framebuffer to the draw framebuffer. |
| Otherwise, no copy is performed and an INVALID_OPERATION error is |
| generated. |
| |
| If SAMPLE_BUFFERS for the read framebuffer is greater than zero and |
| the format of the read and draw framebuffers are not identical, no |
| copy is performed and an INVALID_OPERATION error is generated. |
| |
| Furthermore, if SAMPLE_BUFFERS for either the read framebuffer or |
| draw framebuffer is greater than zero, no copy is performed and an |
| INVALID_OPERATION error is generated if the dimensions of the source |
| and destination rectangles provided to BlitFramebufferNV are not |
| identical, or if the formats of the read and draw framebuffers are |
| not identical. |
| |
| Modification to 4.4.3 (Renderbuffer Objects) |
| |
| Add, just above the definition of RenderbufferStorage: |
| |
| "The command |
| |
| void RenderbufferStorageMultisampleNV( |
| enum target, sizei samples, |
| enum internalformat, |
| sizei width, sizei height); |
| |
| establishes the data storage, format, dimensions, and number of |
| samples of a renderbuffer object's image. <target> must be |
| RENDERBUFFER. <internalformat> must be one of the color-renderable, |
| depth-renderable, or stencil-renderable formats described in table 4.5. |
| <width> and <height> are the dimensions in pixels of the renderbuffer. If |
| either <width> or <height> is greater than the value of |
| MAX_RENDERBUFFER_SIZE, or if <samples> is greater than MAX_SAMPLES_NV, |
| then the error INVALID_VALUE is generated. If OpenGL ES is unable to |
| create a data store of the requested size, the error OUT_OF_MEMORY |
| is generated. |
| |
| Upon success, RenderbufferStorageMultisampleNV deletes any existing |
| data store for the renderbuffer image and the contents of the data |
| store after calling RenderbufferStorageMultisampleNV are undefined. |
| RENDERBUFFER_WIDTH is set to <width>, RENDERBUFFER_HEIGHT is |
| set to <height>, and RENDERBUFFER_INTERNAL_FORMAT is set to |
| <internalformat>. |
| |
| If <samples> is zero, then RENDERBUFFER_SAMPLES_NV is set to zero. |
| Otherwise <samples> represents a request for a desired minimum |
| number of samples. Since different implementations may support |
| different sample counts for multisampled rendering, the actual |
| number of samples allocated for the renderbuffer image is |
| implementation dependent. However, the resulting value for |
| RENDERBUFFER_SAMPLES_NV is guaranteed to be greater than or equal |
| to <samples> and no more than the next larger sample count supported |
| by the implementation. |
| |
| An OpenGL ES implementation may vary its allocation of internal component |
| resolution based on any RenderbufferStorageMultisampleNV parameter (except |
| target), but the allocation and chosen internal format must not be a |
| function of any other state and cannot be changed once they are |
| established. The actual resolution in bits of each component of the |
| allocated image can be queried with GetRenderbufferParameteriv." |
| |
| Modify the definiton of RenderbufferStorage as follows: |
| |
| "The command |
| |
| void RenderbufferStorage(enum target, enum internalformat, |
| sizei width, sizei height); |
| |
| is equivalent to calling RenderbufferStorageMultisampleNV with |
| <samples> equal to zero." |
| |
| In section 4.4.5 (Framebuffer Completeness) in the subsection |
| titled "Framebuffer Completeness" add an entry to the bullet list: |
| |
| * The value of RENDERBUFFER_SAMPLES_NV is the same for all attached |
| images. |
| { FRAMEBUFFER_INCOMPLETE_MULTISAMPLE_NV } |
| |
| Also add a paragraph to the end of the section after the definition |
| of CheckFramebufferStatus: |
| |
| "The values of SAMPLE_BUFFERS and SAMPLES are derived from the |
| attachments of the currently bound framebuffer object. If the |
| current DRAW_FRAMEBUFFER_BINDING_NV is not "framebuffer complete", |
| then both SAMPLE_BUFFERS and SAMPLES are undefined. Otherwise, |
| SAMPLES is equal to the value of RENDERBUFFER_SAMPLES_NV for the |
| attached images (which all must have the same value for |
| RENDERBUFFER_SAMPLES_NV). Further, SAMPLE_BUFFERS is one if |
| SAMPLES is non-zero. Otherwise, SAMPLE_BUFFERS is zero. |
| |
| Additions to Chapter 6 of the OpenGL ES 2.0 Specification (State and State |
| Requests) |
| |
| In section 6.1.3 (Enumeraged Queries), modify the third paragraph |
| of the description of GetRenderbufferParameteriv as follows: |
| |
| "Upon successful return from GetRenderbufferParameteriv, if |
| <pname> is RENDERBUFFER_WIDTH, RENDERBUFFER_HEIGHT, |
| RENDERBUFFER_INTERNAL_FORMAT, or RENDERBUFFER_SAMPLES_NV, then <params> |
| will contain the width in pixels, height in pixels, internal format, or |
| number of samples, respectively, of the image of the renderbuffer |
| currently bound to <target>." |
| |
| Dependencies on OpenGL ES 3.0 and later |
| |
| If OpenGL ES 3.0 or later is supported, the described modifications to |
| language for BlitFramebufferNV also apply to BlitFramebuffer: |
| |
| (Add to the end of the section describing BlitFramebuffer) |
| |
| "If SAMPLE_BUFFERS for the read framebuffer is zero and |
| SAMPLE_BUFFERS for the draw framebuffer is greater than zero, the |
| value of the source sample is replicated in each of the destination |
| samples. |
| |
| If SAMPLE_BUFFERS for both the read and draw framebuffers are |
| greater than zero, and the values of SAMPLES for the read and draw |
| framebuffers are identical, the samples are copied without |
| modification from the read framebuffer to the draw framebuffer. |
| Otherwise, no copy is performed and an INVALID_OPERATION error is |
| generated." |
| |
| (In the error list for BlitFramebuffer, modify the item "An |
| INVALID_OPERATION error is generated if the draw framebuffer is |
| multisampled.") |
| |
| * An INVALID_OPERATION error is generated if both the read and |
| draw buffers are multisampled, and SAMPLE_BUFFERS for the read and |
| draw buffers are not identical. |
| |
| (In the error list for BlitFramebuffer, add to the list) |
| |
| * An INVALID_OPERATION error is generated if either the read or draw |
| buffer is multisampled, and the formats of the read and draw |
| framebuffers are not identical. |
| |
| Dependencies on NV_framebuffer_blit |
| |
| NV_framebuffer_blit is required. Technically, NV_framebuffer_blit |
| would not be required to support multisampled rendering, except for |
| the fact that it provides the only method of doing a multisample |
| resovle from a multisample renderbuffer. |
| |
| Dependencies on OES_texture_3D and NV_texture_array |
| |
| On an OpenGL ES implementation, in the absense of OES_texture_3D or |
| NV_texture_array, omit references to CopyTexSubImage3DOES and |
| CopyTexSubImage3DNV, respectively. |
| |
| |
| Errors |
| |
| The error INVALID_OPERATION is generated if ReadPixels or |
| CopyTex{Sub}Image* is called while READ_FRAMEBUFFER_BINDING_NV |
| is non-zero, the read framebuffer is framebuffer complete, and the |
| value of SAMPLE_BUFFERS for the read framebuffer is greater than |
| zero. |
| |
| If both the draw and read framebuffers are framebuffer complete and |
| both have a value of SAMPLE_BUFFERS that is greater than zero, then |
| the error INVALID_OPERATION is generated if BlitFramebufferNV is |
| called and the values of SAMPLES for the draw and read framebuffers |
| do not match. |
| |
| If both the draw and read framebuffers are framebuffer complete and |
| either has a value of SAMPLE_BUFFERS that is greater than zero, then |
| the error INVALID_OPERATION is generated if BlitFramebufferNV is |
| called and the formats of the draw and read framebuffers are not |
| identical. |
| |
| If either the draw or read framebuffer is framebuffer complete and |
| has a value of SAMPLE_BUFFERS that is greater than zero, then the |
| error INVALID_OPERATION is generated if BlitFramebufferNV is called |
| and the specified source and destination dimensions are not |
| identical. |
| |
| If RenderbufferStorageMultisampleNV is called with <target> not |
| equal to RENDERBUFFER, the error INVALID_ENUM is generated. |
| |
| If RenderbufferStorageMultisampleNV is called with an |
| <internalformat> that is not listed as one of the color-, depth- |
| or stencil-renderable formats in Table 4.5, then the error |
| INVALID_ENUM is generated. |
| |
| If RenderbufferStorageMultisampleNV is called with <width> or |
| <height> greater than MAX_RENDERBUFFER_SIZE, then the error |
| INVALID_VALUE is generated. |
| |
| If RenderbufferStorageMultisampleNV is called with a value of |
| <samples> that is greater than MAX_SAMPLES_NV or less than zero, |
| then the error INVALID_VALUE is generated. |
| |
| The error OUT_OF_MEMORY is generated when |
| RenderbufferStorageMultisampleNV cannot create storage of the |
| specified size. |

| Issues |
| |
| Issues from EXT_framebuffer_multisample have been removed. |
| |
| 1) How is this extension different from Halti and ARB_framebuffer_object ? |
| - this extension offers the same MSAA functionality as in |
| ARB_framebuffer_object |
| - it is a superset of Halti in that: |
| a) SINGLE-->MSAA and MSAA-->MSAA blits are possible |
| b) the blit region may be relocated during the blit |
