SMaterial problem

here is the code:
Code: Select all
SMaterial material;
material.Lighting = false;
material.ZBuffer = true;
material.ZWriteEnable = true;
material.BackfaceCulling = false;
material.TextureLayer[0].TextureWrap = video::ETC_CLAMP;
material.setTexture( 0, texture );
here is the draw:
Code: Select all
videoDriver->setMaterial( m_material );
videoDriver->drawIndexedTriangleFan( vertices, 4, indices, 2 );
vertices are in trigonometric order
and indices are 0, 1, 2, 3
The problem that I have is that the texture is black
it is an png with some transparency with 128x128 pixels
Why is that? What have I done wrong?
Thank you!

What does the console say?
Is texture != 0?
Did you check your texture paths?

Show your vertex data. Do they have uv coords applied?

are the code snippets exactly the same as you use in your prog ???
then there is an error with the material name/variable !!!
you declare a var named
material:
but then you use
m_material:
Code: Select all
videoDriver->setMaterial( m_material );

1) texture is not NULL:
2)
console wrote:Loaded texture: home/radu/Proiecte/3D_data/Example1/textures/sun/sun.png
3) Vertex data is calculated dinamically ... the uv coords ... hm ... which parameter contains these?
4)

I've pasted wrong ... the cod in my programm is good.
Code is like this:
Code: Select all
SMaterial material;
videoDriver->setMaterial( material );
More info: I work on Linux & OpenGL.

video::S3DVertex::TCoords
If you did not set them you will not get texture displayed correctly.
Also you need to set
MaterialType parameter of
SMaterial to use transparent texture else with default one, transparent pixels will not be rendered transparent. You probably want to set it to
EMT_TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL.

new code:
Code: Select all
m_tex[0].Pos = vector3df( m_pos.X-0.5f, m_pos.Y+0.5f, m_pos.Z );
m_tex[1].Pos = vector3df( m_pos.X-0.5f, m_pos.Y-0.5f, m_pos.Z );
m_tex[2].Pos = vector3df( m_pos.X+0.5f, m_pos.Y-0.5f, m_pos.Z );
m_tex[3].Pos = vector3df( m_pos.X+0.5f, m_pos.Y+0.5f, m_pos.Z );
m_tex[0].TCoords = vector2df( 0.0f, 0.0f );
m_tex[1].TCoords = vector2df( 1.0f, 0.0f );
m_tex[2].TCoords = vector2df( 1.0f, 1.0f );
m_tex[3].TCoords = vector2df( 0.0f, 1.0f );
m_pos is a 3d position
and
Code: Select all
material.MaterialType = EMT_TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL;
Before that I saw a black rectangle ... now I see a black circle ... my texture has colors!
But I solved the problem with:
Code: Select all
m_tex[0].Color = m_tex[1].Color = m_tex[2].Color = m_tex[3].Color = SColor( 255, 255, 255, 255 );
Thank you very much to all of you!

You should set all vertex attributes to render them properly ...position, UV, normal, color. Also make sure you set lighting for your node properly. If you are not using any light source ...turn it off else everything will be black.

Now I know
Anyway ... if you read my first post you will se that I setted most things ... the only problem was this:
Code: Select all
m_tex[0].Color = m_tex[1].Color = m_tex[2].Color = m_tex[3].Color = SColor( 255, 255, 255, 255 );
Thank you again!

You did not set Normal ...this may be ok if you disabled lighting but if lighting is on you might get weird results.

I'm working on it!
I'm trying to make a sun ... I've calculated positions and it's work just fine ... now the normals should be the vector:
(sunpos - cam_pos).normalized();
I think ...
//later
And I have two more problems ... I have trying to draw some debug info ... for example all sun positions like this:
Code: Select all
for( nIndex = 0; nIndex < SECONDS_PER_DAY; nIndex++ )
{
GLubyte a = 255;
GLubyte r = 255;
GLubyte g = 0;
GLubyte b = 0;
glBegin( GL_POINTS );
glColor4ub( r, g, b, a );
glVertex3f( m_positions[nIndex].X, m_positions[nIndex].Y, m_positions[nIndex].Z );
glEnd();
}
Problem nr1: if I don't set
Code: Select all
material.MaterialType = EMT_TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL;
all points are black
Problem nr2: if I set that nothing is visible
What's wrong?

(sunpos - cam_pos).normalized();
I think ...
Most of the time not! Normaly you want normal to be perpendicular to the surface it belongs to. Of course you may want to to "smooth" them in order that your mesh does not show too much edges. Normal is independent on light source.
As for your other questions, I have no idea. Somebody else might help..

(sunpos - cam_pos).normalized(); it is perpendiculary on the "sun" because I orientate the texture to be perpendicular to (sunpos - cam_pos).normalized(); so the camera will always see it as a circle (or something).
But the direction (sunpos - cam_pos).normalized(); is not quite good! the correct one is (sunpos + cam_pos).normalized(); ... so the normals be directioned to the camera.
I hope my english is understanable...
Answers to the other questions will help me very much ...
