System Information
Operating system: Windows 10
Graphics card: 2 x GTX 1070

Blender Version
Broken:
2.80, 1af810b4ff, blender2.8, 2019-02-20, as found on the splash screen

Short description of error

I'm trying to render the 3D View as a Texture in 2.8.
Everything seems a bit glitchy
When I'm in solid mode, it looks alright, but the background is black and the colors are a bit different.

In Wireframe mode the objects just appear black.

And when set to Eevee it only renders the outlines and overlays.

Here's a blend with the code:
code.blend

I hope this bug gets fixed.
Thanks in advance,
Jonas

I do not have the drawing glitches. Only the color difference. I guess that the color difference is because of no color management. If you set the color managment display device to None it nearly matches the colors. So I'm guessing this is the reason for it.

Do you still get glitches if you download this dll and copying it so its located in the same directory as 'blender.exe' and run Blender normally?

Thank you, now it actually renders Eevee.
But now its very very slow and laggy. The background is also still black and the blender instance crashes after a while.
This happens even without the offscreen render

That .dll forces blender to use software rendering. So the issue is with your GPU drivers it seems.
Are you running in SLI? If so, does it help if you turn off SLI? (Remove the .dll before testing again of course).

I dont have SLI enabled but it could be an issue with my GPUs.
Could there be something else besides SLI that causes this issue?

Hi

I have been observing this behavior on two other window 10 machines with either one GTX 1080 Ti and a dual RTX 2080 Ti (no SLI). The way to reproduce:

https://docs.blender.org/api/blender2.8/gpu.html#rendering-the-3d-view-into-a-texture and execute it from the default project. set the viewport render method to ‘lookdev’ or ‘rendered’. It looks as if the buffer is not cleared for the next frame and only the overlays are drawn over the previous frame.

With my MacBook Pro (with AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2048 MB) it works as advertised and it seems even faster and responsive than on Windows with the much more powerfull GFX cards.

Blender version: blender-2.80 / 0ba143a1d6 / win64

The color management issue seems to have been fixed by @Jeroen-Bakker .

@JonasDichelle do you still have the glitches?

I no longer have the color management issues (Thank you! :) ) but the Eevee and Wireframe issues unfortunately are still happening. :( @fclem

Ok, I got the script from https://docs.blender.org/api/blender2.8/gpu.html#rendering-the-3d-view-into-a-texture fixed:

replace

  projection_matrix = scene.camera.calc_matrix_camera(
      context.depsgraph, x=WIDTH, y=HEIGHT)

with

  projection_matrix = object.calc_matrix_camera(
      context.evaluated_depsgraph_get(), x=dWIDTH, y=dHEIGHT)

also the Docs for https://docs.blender.org/api/blender2.8/bpy.context.html need to be updated.

And I observe the same issue as @JonasDichelle in regards to eevee and wireframe..

Hi just checking and the issue that is left (to my knowing) is that eevee background is black. There is also the case that the World Space Cavity pattern in workbench uses only a single pattern, but this is also the case for final rendering.... The TAA samples are fine

Sorry to disagree, but the issue is not resolved. I just tested the latest blender 2.80 (june 6th) with windows 10 and a NVidia GTX 1080 Ti and I still have the effect Jonas described. ( when set to Eevee it only renders the outlines and overlays.)

Tested with

Windows 10 pro
Version 1709

After I uploaded my system-info, I installed the latest nvidia drivers (430.86) for my hardware, and I still see the same effect.

Hi, I have same problem as martin(rendering/LookDev with offscreen rendering is not working).

I checked this problem with different machine and it had same problem.

Those machines only one condition was same.

They are has nvidia GTX graphic cards(1080ti, 980ti, 1060m).

Is this a problem only on the nvidia gtx graphics card?

Ok I finally found the issue. The issue is caused by the GPUOffscreen not being created in the same GL context as the one in which it is used for drawing. Framebuffers are not shared between contexts. So appart from creating it in the right context (which, if i'm not mistaken, is not possible with the current API) we can only do a subsystem under the hood with one framebuffer per context and use the right one depending on active context. This is the only flexible way of doing it that won't complicate the pyGPU API usage.

Nice. I am looking forward to your fix. Though its my ignorance of the problem you are facing and knowing your expertise that lets me trust your judgment.

Aware this is not the place to do support, I do have a request for the documentation (https://docs.blender.org/api/blender2.8/gpu.htm):

With the script we are testing this issue we need to toggle to the camera view if we want to render all the nice postprocessing goodies of EEVEE to texture. I assume it has something to do with the

offscreen.draw_view3d(

function, where the script passes the current context info to the function. I just couldn't figure out how to define my own context to render-to-texture independently of the viewport settings.

my request would be to add another example that shows how to do this.

Very much appreciated.
