I think what you're effectively talking about is multi-pass GLSL shaders. This isn't currently possible. However, provided you're running Snow Leopard, you could load a model of your cube using the 3D mesh importer, write a custom OpenCL kernel to do something to the vertices of the mesh, then pipe the result into a Mesh Renderer patch inside a GLSL shader environment/macro patch. Don't know if there is any advantage of this approach in your situation though.

Hi,
I'm developing some custom patches for QC to render OpenGL primitives. I saw that this patches are embeddable in a GLSL macro. For example, if I write a patch P that renders a cube, if I put P into a GLSL macro I can modify vertex and fragment shader for the cube. Is it possible to invert the process? I mean: is it possible to write a custom OpenGL macro M that receives vertices from the OpenGL-patches inside it? For example, if I render a quad Q with LG Quad kineme patch and put it into M, is it possible to 'catch' Q vertices inside the custom macro M and shade them as I want? One possible use of this process is a possible shadow-mapping implementation..

Thank you!
Luke
