I suppose you are writing the data in a texture with gl_FragColor = vec4(..., depth). What exactly are you doing with the data that you write afterwards, or how do you actually obtain your point cloud? If for example you take the position vec4(..., depth) (which is a world space position?) and

So far the alpha channel is completely ignored beyond the shader. I set each vertex of the point cloud based off the r,g,b channels of the image buffer. Before I add the vertex to the point cloud the r,g,b channels of the image already seem to be scaled. I check this by logging the image
