fbo - OpenGL | Render Vertex at UV coordinate

Question

I'm using OpenGL and I need to render the vertecies of a 3D model to a FBO at the UV coordinate of the vertex. To do that, I first have to convert the UV coordinate space to the screen space.

I came to the conclusion that:

uv.x * 2 - 1
uv.y * 2 - 1

…should do the trick.

I used that in my vertex shader to place the vertex at those new positions. The result looks like this:

…while it should should look like this:

It seems like it's scaled up. I dont know where the problem is.

Answer 1

Are you certain that your screen space spans -1 to 1 rather than -0.5 to 0.5?

Try just subtracting 0.5 from both x and y.
