FBObject

FrameBuffer Object (FBO)

   package com.jogamp.opengl;

Creating FBO

   final FBObject fbo = new FBObject(); // Create FrameBuffer
   final GL2ES2 gl = GLContext.getCurrentGL().getGL2ES2();
   fbo.reset(gl, width, height); // int width, height - size of FBO, can be resized with the same call
   fbo.attachTexture2D(gl, 0, true); // Create GL_TEXTURE_2D texture which can be used as sampler2D at the shader code
   // Created texture will be bound to FBO's GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0 (see the second parameter 0)
   fbo.attachRenderbuffer(gl, Attachment.Type.DEPTH, 32); // Create depth buffer (if required)
   fbo.unbind(gl); // Unbind FrameBuffer (You will probably want to make bind() - render - unbind() loop later on)

Render to FBO

   fbo.bind(gl);
   // Render scene as usual
   fbo.unbind(gl);

Note: calls to FBObject.use()/FBObject.unuse() will unbind current buffer

Render from FBO to another FBO

Imagine we have 2 FBO, source and target. Source FBO must have TextureAttachment (created with attachTexture2D(), for example)

   FBObject source;
   FBObject target;

Using low-level texture binding:

   final TextureAttachment tex0 = (TextureAttachment) getSourceFBO().getColorbuffer(0);
   target.bind(gl); // Starting rendering to target FBO
   gl.glActiveTexture(GL2.GL_TEXTURE0);
   gl.glEnable(GL2.GL_TEXTURE_2D);
   gl.glBindTexture(GL2.GL_TEXTURE_2D, tex0.getName()); // Binding source FBO's TextureAttachment as GL_TEXTURE_2D
   // Here you can render something using source texture as GL_TEXTURE0
   // For example, you can enable shader with some filter, which makes use of sampler2D and render a fullscreen quad. 
   target.unbind(gl); // Unbind FBO

Render from FBO to screen

   final TextureAttachment tex0 = (TextureAttachment) getSourceFBO().getColorbuffer(0);
   gl.glActiveTexture(GL2.GL_TEXTURE0);
   gl.glEnable(GL2.GL_TEXTURE_2D);
   gl.glBindTexture(GL2.GL_TEXTURE_2D, tex0.getName()); // Binding source FBO's TextureAttachment as GL_TEXTURE_2D
   // Here you can just render a fullscreen quad to show FBO content, or do something more exciting
