Proper way to apply translation to vertices

I have the simple vertex shader:

m44 op, va0, vc0 
mov v0, va1

and the fragment shader:

mov oc, v0

I pass this vertices to it:

  x     y   z  w  r  g  b
-0.3, -0.3, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0,
 0,    0.3, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0,
 0.3, -0.3, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1

The result triangle looks like I expected. Now I want to apply some translation to the result triangle. I have declared a matrix, call appendTranslation(0.2, 0, 0) and pass it to the vertex shader. The problem is that the triangle remained in the same position but with different vertices position. It looks like this:

Bad triangle

Why I got this result, and what is the proper way to apply translation to vertices?

Here is full code of my program:

Solution

  • You need to transpose a matrix. You can do it manually or you can pass a parameter here:

    _context.setProgramConstantsFromMatrix(Context3DProgramType.VERTEX, 0, _mat, true);
