   Trouble implementing RenderMonkey's ocean shader
  I'm trying to implement the ocean shader that comes with RenderMonkey (Reflections Refractions) in GLSL and have run into a couple of problems.I've read through most of NVidia's Cg Tutorial book but didn't really like it so went on to read the OpenGL orange book (OpenGL Shading Language). It's a great book but it doesn't give anywhere near enough details on how to actually implement shaders. In the end, I learnt how to implement shaders from the tutorials on lighthouse3d.com, at the recommendation of one of the posters on this forum.Anyway, I think I've implemented everything correctly apart from two uniform variables. One is a sampler3D, to deal with the noise and one is a samplerCube, which is the texture being used for the sky box. Unfortunately, on lighthouse3d.com, there are no explanations detailing how to implement sampler3D or samplerCube so I was hoping someone could help me out.Firstly, the vertex shader looks like this:uniform vec4 view_position;uniform vec4 scale;varying vec3 vTexCoord;varying vec3 vNormal;varying vec3 vViewVec;void main(void){   vec4 Position = gl_Vertex.xyzw; // Get some size on the water   Position.xy *= 1000.0;   Position.z  = -30.0; vTexCoord   = Position.xyz * scale.xyz;   vViewVec    = Position.xyz - view_position.xyz;   vViewVec.z *=1.0;   vNormal= gl_Normal; gl_Position = gl_ModelViewProjectionMatrix * Position;}And the fragment shader looks like this:uniform sampler3D Noise;uniform samplerCube skyBox;uniform float time_0_X;uniform vec4  waterColor;uniform float fadeExp;uniform float fadeBias;uniform float noiseSpeed;uniform vec4  scale;uniform float waveSpeed;varying vec3 vTexCoord;varying vec3 vNormal;varying vec3 vViewVec;void main(void){   vec3 tcoord = vTexCoord;   tcoord.x += waveSpeed  * time_0_X;   tcoord.z += noiseSpeed * time_0_X;   vec4 noisy = texture3D(Noise, tcoord);   // Signed noise    vec3 bump = 2.0 * noisy.xyz - 1.0;   bump.xy *= 0.15; // Make sure the normal always points upwards   bump.z = 0.8 * abs(bump.z) + 0.2; // Offset the surface normal with the bump   bump = normalize(vNormal + bump);   // Find the reflection vector   vec3 reflVec = reflect(vViewVec, bump);   vec4 refl = textureCube(skyBox, reflVec.yzx);   float lrp = 1.0 - dot(-normalize(vViewVec), bump);   // Interpolate between the water color and reflection   gl_FragColor = mix(waterColor, refl, clamp(fadeBias + pow(lrp, fadeExp),0.0, 1.0));}This is what I have so far:#ifdef WIN32#include <windows.h>#pragma comment(lib, "OpenGL32.lib")#pragma comment(lib, "GlU32.lib")#pragma comment(lib, "SDL.lib")#pragma comment(lib, "SDLmain.lib")#pragma comment(lib, "glew32.lib")#endif#include <iostream>#include "glew.h"#include "SDL.h"#include "textfile.h"GLhandleARB p,f,v;void PrintInfoLog(GLhandleARB obj){    int infologLength = 0;

  I don't see you setting the sampler uniforms anywhere?It's really very simple; going by your code and using 2 texture units:glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_3D, noiseTex);loc_Noise = glGetUniformLocationARB(p, "Noise");glUniform1iARB(loc_Noise, 0);glActiveTexture(GL_TEXTURE1);glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP, skyBoxTex);loc_skyBox = glGetUniformLocationARB(p, "Noise");glUniform1iARB(loc_skyBox, 1);   ;  Thanks for the info. I think I'm now implementing all the uniform variables correctly but nothing is being displayed. I'm obviously missing something.
