I've never written shaders before, and now I'm trying to implement SSAO with SceneKit on OS X and iOS. I'm trying different SSAO shaders that I find, e.g. from Three.js, this one, and this one.

On OS X they all work as they should, but on iPhone all of them giving me the same artefacts (images show SSAO pass only). The lines move when I move the camera. So it must be because of some differences of OpenGL ES. Anyone knows what's wrong?

Resolved by adding precision highp sampler2D to my shaders.

About default precision settings on ES - https://www.khronos.org/files/opengles_shading_language.pdf page 36.

  • $\begingroup$ Out of curiosity, what was the precision before? Low or Medium? $\endgroup$ – Simon F Mar 9 '16 at 9:33
  • $\begingroup$ I found a document saying it's low for samplers and high for float/int by default on ES. Oh, ints depend on shader type I've added link to my answer. $\endgroup$ – pronvit Mar 9 '16 at 21:16
  • $\begingroup$ OK. Was just wondering if you'd tried mediump as there could be performance (and power) benefits. $\endgroup$ – Simon F Mar 10 '16 at 12:30
  • $\begingroup$ mediump doesn't help in my case, and also I don't notice any significant performance difference either. $\endgroup$ – pronvit Mar 14 '16 at 21:22
