I am using the Classic Perlin Noise (vec3) functions from here.

When I render this shader on my MacBook, the shader runs fine and shows the noise as color like I expect.

When I render this shader on my iPhone, the canvas is totally black.

Is there anything wrong with this code that would cause the cnoise function to return 0 always? Or is there some function that does not work with Metal?

Here is the complete shader:

#ifdef GL_ES

precision mediump float;

uniform vec2 u_resolution;

uniform float u_time;



vec4 permute(vec4 x){return mod(((x*34.0)+1.0)*x, 289.0);}

vec4 taylorInvSqrt(vec4 r){return 1.79284291400159 - 0.85373472095314 * r;}

vec3 fade(vec3 t) {return t*t*t*(t*(t*6.0-15.0)+10.0);}



float cnoise(vec3 P){

  vec3 Pi0 = floor(P); // Integer part for indexing

  vec3 Pi1 = Pi0 + vec3(1.0); // Integer part + 1

  Pi0 = mod(Pi0, 289.0);

  Pi1 = mod(Pi1, 289.0);

  vec3 Pf0 = fract(P); // Fractional part for interpolation

  vec3 Pf1 = Pf0 - vec3(1.0); // Fractional part - 1.0

  vec4 ix = vec4(Pi0.x, Pi1.x, Pi0.x, Pi1.x);

  vec3 g011 = vec3(gx1.z,gy1.z,gz1.z);

  vec3 g111 = vec3(gx1.w,gy1.w,gz1.w);



  vec4 norm0 = taylorInvSqrt(vec4(dot(g000, g000), dot(g010, g010), dot(g100, g100), dot(g110, g110)));

  g000 *= norm0.x;

  vec3 fade_xyz = fade(Pf0);

  vec4 n_z = mix(vec4(n000, n100, n010, n110), vec4(n001, n101, n011, n111), fade_xyz.z);

  return b1 + (s - a1) * (b2 - b1) / (a2 - a1);

}



void main() {

  vec2 st = gl_FragCoord.xy / u_resolution.xy;



  float r = cnoise(vec3(st.x, st.y, u_time / 1.0));

  float g = cnoise(vec3(st.x + 100.0, st.y + 100.0, u_time / 1.0));

  float b = cnoise(vec3(st.x + 200.0, st.y + 200.0, u_time / 1.0));



  r = map(r, -1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0);

  g = map(g, -1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0);

  b = map(b, -1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0);



  vec3 color = vec3(r, g, b);

  // vec3 color = vec3(r, 1.0, 1.0);



  gl_FragColor = vec4(color, 1.0);

}

gman posted it above but the problem was with floating point precision.

mediump wouldn't work, highp worked exactly as expected.

Thanks!
