[Interest] Using QSGMaterial & QSGMaterialShader with multiple shaders

[Nuno Santos]

Hi,

I’m trying to make a shader gallery using a GridView where the model is an array of shaders path.

Then, a custom QQuickView, instantiates a custom QSGGeometryNode with a material that extends QSGMaterial. The QSGMaterial creates the shader:

I’m having a problem though. All the items draw the first shader in the list. Shader A draws everything red, shader B draws everything blue.

If model = [A, B], the two items show as red, if I swap the model order to [B, A], the two items show blue.

I’ve added debug and there are classes being instantiated correctly for each item, and the right shader source is being used for each one, but it seems that only the first shader that is passed to the model seems to be loaded or active.

Is there any gotcha in the way QSGMateria and QSGMaterialShader are used?

Code for material and material shader are included below.

Thanks!

Nuno
