hi,friend, I want to Transport a picture to uniform sample2D pic in postProcessStage ,now i have rgb array or jpg in textureUnit1

You can pass in a uniforms object, see the docs:


For example, I modified the post process Sandcastle here to add another texture:


So instead of:

viewer.scene.postProcessStages.add(new Cesium.PostProcessStage({
    fragmentShader : fragmentShaderSource
}));



I had:

viewer.scene.postProcessStages.add(new Cesium.PostProcessStage({
    fragmentShader : fragmentShaderSource,
    uniforms : {
        customTexture : '../images/bumpmap.png'
    }
}));

You can then access this in the shader by declaring the uniform:

uniform sampler2D customTexture;

Does that help?

oh, actually, I plan to render the scene to in a textureUnit in  my frameBufferObj,then i want transport the texture to postprocessStage . then ,how to define the custom value. 

viewer.scene.postProcessStages.add(new Cesium.PostProcessStage({
    fragmentShader : fragmentShaderSource,
    uniforms : {
        customTexture : here,what's the value.
    }
}));

or the way below will work?

my fuction(){
1.render scene, add postProcessStage1 
2.camera fly to some place,
3.add postProcessStage2. and postProcessStage2
 
}
 The default input sampler2D uniforms ( colorTexture and depthTexture)  of postProcessStage2  can be postProcessStage1 output.
or it is  the same as postProcessStage1 input colorTexture .

Yeah all you have to do is just add a second post process stage. The output from the last one will be the colorTexture. So for example, these two:

var fragmentShaderSource = `
uniform sampler2D colorTexture; 
varying vec2 v_textureCoordinates; 
void main(void) 
    
    gl_FragColor = texture2D(colorTexture, v_textureCoordinates); 
    gl_FragColor.r = gl_FragColor.g;
}`

viewer.scene.postProcessStages.add(new Cesium.PostProcessStage({
    fragmentShader : fragmentShaderSource
}));

var fragmentShaderSource = `
uniform sampler2D colorTexture; 
varying vec2 v_textureCoordinates; 
void main(void) 
    
    gl_FragColor = texture2D(colorTexture, v_textureCoordinates); 
    gl_FragColor.g = gl_FragColor.b;
}`

viewer.scene.postProcessStages.add(new Cesium.PostProcessStage({
    fragmentShader : fragmentShaderSource
}));


The first shader sets the red to green, and then the second sets the green to blue. If you reverse the order you add these two shaders in the output is different. Here's a Sandcastle link where you can try that.

I'm curious to hear, what kind of application are you working on that uses this?

I try to analysis the visibility form  a view ,shows the result in the another view.
or render result to entity like mirror.

Can you show the code you have? is it giving you any errors? If you have a texture object just pass it as a uniform.

do i need bind  texture created by webgl to a textureUint? what' the max number of textureUnit used by cesium?

By the way ,are gl_FragCoord.z and gl_FragCoord.w in postProcessStage   the   same  as raw WebGL  ?

It's hard to tell here without seeing your full code. Have you already successfully rendered the scene to a texture? Can you show the code for that? 

By the way ,are gl_FragCoord.z and gl_FragCoord.w in postProcessStage   the   same  as raw WebGL  ?

It should be, yes.

a lot of errors from consolo,like below 
WebGL: INVALID_ENUM: bindTexture: invalid target
 [.WebGL-11FFF320]RENDER WARNING: there is no texture bound to the unit 0
and it seems render to srceen when I use ”viewer.scene.render()“ after  "gl.bindFramebuffer(gl.FRAMEBUFFER, fbo)"  

these are my code ,but it seems not  work properly.

//store current camera status
                var curCameraPos = viewer.scene.camera.positionWC;
                var curCameraDir = viewer.scene.camera.direction;
                var curCameraUp = viewer.scene.camera.up;

//camera go to light postion
                viewer.scene.camera.position = visibleStartPoint;
                viewer.scene.camera.direction = new Cesium.Cartesian3(endPoint.x - visibleStartPoint.x, endPoint.y - visibleStartPoint.y, endPoint.z - visibleStartPoint.z)

//record lightView Matrix;
                var lightViewMatrix = viewer.scene.camera.viewMatrix;

// Get the rendering context for WebGL
                var gl = viewer.canvas.getContext("webgl")
              || viewer.canvas.getContext("experimental-webgl");
                var OFFSCREEN_WIDTH = 2048, OFFSCREEN_HEIGHT = 2048;
                gl.activeTexture(gl.TEXTURE0);
//create frameBufferObject
                var fbo = initFramebufferObject(gl, OFFSCREEN_WIDTH,OFFSCREEN_HEIGHT);
                gl.bindFramebuffer(gl.FRAMEBUFFER, fbo);               // Change the drawing destination to FBO
                gl.viewport(0, 0, OFFSCREEN_HEIGHT, OFFSCREEN_HEIGHT); // Set view port for FBO
                gl.clear(gl.COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | gl.DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);   // Clear FBO    

//render to fbo
                viewer.scene.render();

  // Change the drawing destination to color buffer
                gl.bindFramebuffer(gl.FRAMEBUFFER, null);             
                gl.viewport(0, 0, viewer.canvas.width, viewer.canvas.height);
                gl.clear(gl.COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | gl.DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);    // Clear 

//restore camera postion
                viewer.scene.camera.position = curCameraPos;
                viewer.scene.camera.direction = curCameraDir;
           
                viewer.scene.render();//

//then I add texture of fbo to postProcessStage
 viewer.scene.postProcessStages.add(new Cesium.PostProcessStage({
                    fragmentShader: FSHADER_SOURCE,
                    uniforms: {
                        u_ShadowMap: fbo.texture}
});

I think you might need to dig around in the source to see some examples of this. I think you need to initialize a Texture object:

https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/blob/master/Source/Renderer/Texture.js

Or possible just use the createUniform function to wrap it:


You might also find this series helpful for context in understanding Cesium's rendering engine and where to look in the source code:


And more blogs on that:

my friend,,the texture object you mentioned is gl.createtexture or class defined by cesium

It's a Cesium class. See the first link in my earlier post (https://groups.google.com/d/msg/cesium-dev/9yJ-rkWf5d4/yMG2y0vkBwAJ).

I think Rayman's blog post here talks a bit about it, and there's a link to his app's source code that might be helpful:
