I am having a look at web gl, and trying to render a cube, but I am having a problem when I try to add projection into the vertex shader. I have added an attribute, but when I use it to multiple the modelview and position, it stops displaying the cube. Im not sure why and was wondering if anyone could help? Ive tried looking at a few examples but just cant get this to work
vertex shader
attribute vec3 aVertexPosition;
uniform mat4 uMVMatrix;
uniform mat4 uPMatrix;
void main(void) {
gl_Position = uPMatrix * uMVMatrix * vec4(aVertexPosition, 1.0);
//gl_Position = uMVMatrix * vec4(aVertexPosition, 1.0);
}
fragment shader
#ifdef GL_ES
precision highp float; // Not sure why this is required, need to google it
#endif
uniform vec4 uColor;
void main() {
gl_FragColor = uColor;
}
function init() {
// Get a reference to our drawing surface
canvas = document.getElementById("webglSurface");
gl = canvas.getContext("experimental-webgl");
/** Create our simple program **/
// Get our shaders
var v = document.getElementById("vertexShader").firstChild.nodeValue;
var f = document.getElementById("fragmentShader").firstChild.nodeValue;
// Compile vertex shader
var vs = gl.createShader(gl.VERTEX_SHADER);
gl.shaderSource(vs, v);
gl.compileShader(vs);
// Compile fragment shader
var fs = gl.createShader(gl.FRAGMENT_SHADER);
gl.shaderSource(fs, f);
gl.compileShader(fs);
// Create program and attach shaders
program = gl.createProgram();
gl.attachShader(program, vs);
gl.attachShader(program, fs);
gl.linkProgram(program);
// Some debug code to check for shader compile errors and log them to console
if (!gl.getShaderParameter(vs, gl.COMPILE_STATUS))
console.log(gl.getShaderInfoLog(vs));
if (!gl.getShaderParameter(fs, gl.COMPILE_STATUS))
console.log(gl.getShaderInfoLog(fs));
if (!gl.getProgramParameter(program, gl.LINK_STATUS))
console.log(gl.getProgramInfoLog(program));

mat4.perspective(45, gl.viewportWidth / gl.viewportHeight, 1.0, 10.0, pMatrix);
mat4.identity(mvMatrix);
mat4.translate(mvMatrix, [0.0, -0.25, -1.0]);

Thanks in advance for any help
