2 UV maps on mesh - 1 with alpha? (warning! contains images)

[Spintz]

I think you should checkout http://irrlicht.spintz.com/. I added a function -

Code: Select all

virtual IMesh* createMeshWith2TCoords( IMesh* mesh ) const

which takes an IMesh* and returns a new IMesh with 2 texture coords per vertex.

I also modified makePlanarTextureMapping, to take an argument, so it can modify the 1st or 2nd texture coordinate of a mesh.

Code: Select all

virtual void makePlanarTextureMapping(scene::IMesh* mesh, bool firstTCoord, f32 resolution ) const

Check it out, let me know if you need any help getting it setup.

Here's an image of a frame of the Sydney model with a detail map texture, using 2 texture coords on the mesh -

Is this what you're trying to get?



I used your code and it worked perfectly, your box is very small tho, you might want to scale it some, I think that's why you aren't seeing it!

Hello Spintz,

Your improvments to Irrlich12 look very interesting, but I fear that as I know very little about C coding, it's not likely to help me at this stage.

This is what I'm aiming for, by combining the two textures onto one mesh.



'luckymutt' suggested I make both textures have alpha, to see if one texture would fit over the top of the other, giving the effect in the picture above.

By-the-way, thanks for taking the time to download my code and textures to see what I'm trying to achieve, It's very kind of you

Hi Spintz, i have already tried to get your to compile. As I am just a 3D-folk and not a programmer i had some hard (for me) errors. But i guarantee, if you can get make it work with two textures (lightmaps, yeah) i will not rest until it compiles properly.

That would be something similar like christmas for me, but please dont feel urged.

This is perhaps a bad idea. But it may work. Make two cubes the same size with the same coords. Parent one to th other. Paint each cube with the each image.

It will probably work, but you'll have extra geometry that may slow down your app.

Just my two noobie centavos.
