Hi everyone, what I want is to obtain the z-Buffer content from a previous render pass (pass1) where I render my scene and use it in a subsequent render pass (pass2). Of course I would like to avoid doing pass1 twice, first to render to the screen and second to render the z-buffer to a texture since I would render my complete scene twice. That's is an overhead that I would like to avoid.
Now the question: Would it be possible to render the main scene (pass1) in two COLOR_BUFFERS, COLOR_BUFFER0 and COLOR_BUFFER1 at the same time? Then one could set up the camera so that the screen is attached to COLOR_BUFFER0 and a texture 'zBufferContent' is attached to COLOR_BUFFER1. How do I do that? In this case, having multiple render targets, one needs to set up the camera to using FBOs (camera->setRenderTargetImplementation(osg::Camera::FRAME_BUFFER_OBJECT)) since pixel buffers to not support multiple render targets. Then, in the fragment shader, one can write to gl_FragData[0] the usual screen color information and pass gl_FragDepth to gl_FragData[1] (gl_FragData[1] = gl_FragDepth), hence obtaining the texture which contains the z-Buffer content. Would this work?
