I am trying to use a “stencil buffer” to display part of my rendering from a texture, but my render is displayed without a mask effect.

This is for an iOS 2D project, with OpenGL ES 2.0. This is part of my code:

glClear( GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT | GL_STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT );
glEnable( GL_STENCIL_TEST );


// mask rendering
glColorMask( GL_FALSE, GL_FALSE, GL_FALSE, GL_FALSE );
glStencilFunc( GL_ALWAYS, 1, 1 );
glStencilOp( GL_KEEP, GL_KEEP, GL_REPLACE );

glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, _maskTexture);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);  


// scene rendering
glColorMask( GL_TRUE, GL_TRUE, GL_TRUE, GL_TRUE ); 
glStencilFunc( GL_EQUAL, 1, 1 ); 
glStencilOp( GL_KEEP, GL_KEEP, GL_KEEP );  

glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, _viewTexture);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);  

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

(As usual for a French developer, sorry for my English!)

accuracy: "_maskTexture" - black and white image.

Decision:

I finnaly solved my problem with rotoglub and tim readings . Thanks to both of you.

1 / The stencil buffer is not created correctly. It should be initialized as follows:

glBindRenderbufferOES(GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, depthStencilRenderbuffer);
glRenderbufferStorageOES(GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, 
                             GL_DEPTH24_STENCIL8_OES, 
                             backingWidth, 
                             backingHeight);

This is the main reason why my rendering was not affected by my mask.

:

glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
glEnableClientState(GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);

glVertexPointer(2, GL_FLOAT, 0, vertices);
glTexCoordPointer(2, GL_FLOAT, 0, texcoords);

glClearStencil(0); 
glClearColor (0.0,0.0,0.0,1);
glClear (GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT | GL_STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT); 


// mask rendering
glColorMask( GL_FALSE, GL_FALSE, GL_FALSE, GL_FALSE );
glEnable(GL_STENCIL_TEST);
glEnable(GL_ALPHA_TEST);
glBlendFunc( GL_ONE, GL_ONE );
glAlphaFunc( GL_NOTEQUAL, 0.0 );
glStencilFunc(GL_ALWAYS, 1, 1);
glStencilOp(GL_KEEP, GL_KEEP, GL_REPLACE);

glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, _mask);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 4, 4);  

// scene rendering
glColorMask(GL_TRUE, GL_TRUE, GL_TRUE, GL_TRUE); 
glStencilFunc(GL_EQUAL, 1, 1);
glStencilOp(GL_KEEP, GL_KEEP, GL_KEEP);

glDisable(GL_STENCIL_TEST);
glDisable(GL_ALPHA_TEST);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, _texture);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP, 0, 4);
