I'm trying to use multiple shader programs in webgl but continue to get issues.
It seems that if i have a different number of vertex shader attributes in programs then i get nothing rendered with no errors. Is there some constraint that means that programs have to have the same number of attributes? Do i need to disable/enable attribute locations when changing programs?
It seems that just creating multiple programs causes the issue ( i dont even have to use the second shader, just the fact that it is created causes the issue).
To create the attributes i'm using the following snippet (works fine when number of attributes in all programs is the same):
for ( var i=0 ; i<vertexAttributes.length ; i++ )
{
shaderProgram[vertexAttributes[i].name] = gl.getAttribLocation(shaderProgram,vertexAttributes[i].name);
gl.enableVertexAttribArray(shaderProgram[vertexAttributes[i].name]);
}
Sorry for posting such a large chunk of code, but this best illustrates the issue. this is code from one of the learningwebgl.com tutorials, all that i have done is add a second pair of shaders ("shader2-fs" and "shader2-vs") and a new function called initShaders2. if initShaders2 is called in webGLStart() (as it is in the code) then nothing is drawn??? i'm baffled!
