I just started learning webgl GLSL.I recently had a strange problem that almost killed my life. I wrote a simple cube texture rendering code, and I used the normal vector in the fragment shader to add some special effects. This code basically works the same on Windows as I expected, but it shows me a black screen on macos and ios, and then I tested the Android system, which is as normal as on Windows. I guess there is a difference between the windows platform and the macos platform. There are some secrets I don't know. Are there any good people who are willing to help me, thank you! Here is the vertex shader:
attribute vec4 aVertexPosition;
attribute vec2 aTextureCoord;
attribute vec3 aNormal;
uniform mat4 uModelViewMatrix;
uniform mat4 uProjectionMatrix;
varying vec3 vNormal;
varying vec2 vTextureCoord;
void main(void) {
gl_Position = uProjectionMatrix * uModelViewMatrix * aVertexPosition;
vTextureCoord = aTextureCoord;
vNormal = aNormal;
}
This is the fragment shader:
precision mediump float;
uniform sampler2D uSampler;
varying vec3 vNormal;
varying vec2 vTextureCoord;
void main(void) {
vec4 an = vec4(vNormal, 1.0);
gl_FragColor = an * texture2D(uSampler, vTextureCoord);
}
Here is the windows show: windos
Here is the macos show: macos
11/18/2019 Update : Thanks to the friendly advice of @gman, I updated the code.
var cubeRotation = 0.0;
