texturing a wall or a floor

[mazataza]

I have a texture of size (254x254)pixel and i want to use it as a texture of a floor.
i added it to my floor node

Code: Select all

 
setMaterialTexture( 0,base_texture);
setMaterialType( video::EMT_SOLID );
 

the effect i got is that the texture is strech to fill the whole floor, which look bad. what i want that the floor will be filled with a repeated of this texture, so that looks like a floor.

should I dived my floor in smaller triangles or there is a trick which can be used?

my current floor for example has the size 1000x1000 units and to draw it i need only for vertex and 6 indeces.

To get it repeating without adding more vertices, you can use a shader.

Or you can set a scale in the texture matrix of the material.

I got the effect by using:

Code: Select all

 
SceneManager->getMeshManipulator()->makePlanarTextureMapping(Mesh, 0.02f);
 

I have not understand what it do, but the do the needed effect.
I don't want to use a shader because my game will be for mobile which may be have no shader.

It picks your mesh and applies it a planar texture map with that tile size expressed in world units. i.e, if it was 1, the texture tile would be 1 unit long.

You could also directly set a higher texture coordinate when creating the mesh, in order to know what really happens inside the mesh. Simply set the UV values to 0;1000 when you now set 0;1 (or any other scale that fits). Check the attributes of the vertex elements of your mesh to find the proper places to alter

I have a texture of size (254x254)pixel

Bad idea, you should use textures which are a power of two in width and height.

I have to second that, scale it up by two pixels, no one will notice but it will be all that much more efficient.
