[vtk-developers] Picking problem with OpenGL2 and DepthPeeling

[Ken Martin]

Thanks! I believe the new depth peeling code is probably leaving the
zbuffer in a different state than the opaque z buffer. If you get a second
could you try the attached patch and see if it works for you. It is based
on a more recent VTK but it is a tiny patch.



Thanks

Hi,



I try to pick in a scene that contains a translucent object and the pick
fails if I use the OpenGL2 backend (v6.3.0), tested on VS2013 32 bits with
nVidia Quadro 4000 (driver 353.30)



The same code works with OpenGL backend.



I can reproduce it with the sample code attached, based on the example at
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/Interaction/Picking  with these
lines added:



   renderer->SetUseDepthPeeling(1);

   renderer->SetMaximumNumberOfPeels(8);

   renderWindow->SetAlphaBitPlanes(1);

   renderWindow->SetMultiSamples(0);



and the opacity set to 0.5 for the plane.



If i don't use depth peeling, or if the plane is opaque, the picker works
as expected.



It seems that the pick fails when in vtkOpenGLRenderer::DonePick the float
value returned by GetZbufferData is 1.0
