Hi,
I’m having severe problems with this shader, which does a volume rendering of a 3d-texture and optionally checks against the z-buffer.
It works well enough as written, but if I try to remove the texture-fetch from the z-buffer it fails, and goes black (or some other color). I’ve checked that len and len2 are similar, and I can plot each, and I use len2 in the for loop, but … I still can’t remove the lines doing the z-buffer step, that kills the output just stops completely.
If I replace the texture lookup with 1, 0 or anything in between, it fails. (The value should be 1, since the z-buffer is cleared and nothing is drawn there.)
I can’t for the life figure out why this happens, and why I don’t get an error message in that case.
Do I trigger some compiler bug, or is it just an error in my code?
This is on an NVIDIA GTX 260, Vista 32-bit sp2, driver 185.85.
