  • Intersection of player and mesh

    - by Will
    I have a 3D scene, and a player that can move about in it. In a time-step the player can move from point A to point B. The player should follow the terrain height but slow going up cliffs and then fall back, or stop when jumping and hitting a wall and so on. In my first prototype I determine the Y at the player's centre's X,Z by intersecting a ray with every triangle in the scene. I am not checking their path, but rather just sampling their end-point for each tick. Despite this being Javascript, it works acceptably performance-wise. However, because I am modeling the player as a single point, the player can position themselves so that they are half-in a cliff face and so on. I need to model them as as a solid e.g. some cluster of spheres or a even their fuller mesh. I am also concerned that if they were moving faster they might miss the test altogether. How should I solve this?

  • Get all triangles that are < N dist from you?

    - by CyanPrime
    Does anyone know of a way I could add a radius to this code for p? Like basically saying "this is true if the triangle is < N dist from the point" public boolean isPointInTriangle( Vector3f p, Vector3f a, Vector3f b, Vector3f c ) { return ( pointsAreOnSameSide(p, a, b, c) && pointsAreOnSameSide(p, b, a, c) && pointsAreOnSameSide(p, c, a, b) ); } public boolean pointsAreOnSameSide( Vector3f p1, Vector3f p2, Vector3f a, Vector3f b ) { Vector3f diffba = new Vector3f(0,0,0); Vector3f.sub( b, a, diffba ); Vector3f diffp1a = new Vector3f(0,0,0); Vector3f.sub( p1, a, diffp1a ); Vector3f diffp2a = new Vector3f(0,0,0); Vector3f.sub( p2, a, diffp2a ); Vector3f cross1 = Vector3f.cross(diffba, diffp1a); Vector3f cross2 = Vector3f.cross(diffba, diffp2a); return ( Vector3f.dot( cross1, cross2 ) >= 0 ); }

  • Which optional features would you recommend for a raytracer? [closed]

    - by locks
    I'm developing a basic triangle mesh raytracer on a short deadline. This means I can't implement every feature I come across, so I'm looking for some feedback about which features you think are most important, taking into consideration the performance of the feature and how much punch it packs. I'm especially looking for optimization techniques that allow for a faster rendering and simple techniques that make a big impact on the final scene quality. Is there any chance of making it fast enough to run in realtime? Here are some example of features I've read about: Anti-aliasing Bounding box Sky box

  • How do I focus an "urgent" application?

    - by pydave
    Sometimes applications will wiggle in the launcher and have a blue triangle. (See compiz config settings for Unity.) How can I set a keyboard command to bring that application to the front in Ubuntu 11.10? I had it set in 11.04, but I don't remember how. This is useful when programs open in the background or if you activate them from another app. (I have an alias to send files to a single gvim instance from Terminal instead of opening them in their own window. When gvim gets the file, it wiggles but doesn't gain focus.)

  • drawing thick, textured lines in OpenGL

    - by NateS
    I need to draw thick textured line segments in OpenGL. Actually I need curves made out of short line segments. Here is what I have: In the upper left is an example of two connected line segments. The second image shows once the lines are given width, they overlap. If I apply a texture that uses translucency, the overlap looks terrible. The third image shows that both lines are shortened by half the amount necessary to make the thick line corners just touch. This way I can fill the space between the lines with a triangle. On the right you can see this works well (ignore the horizontal line when the crappy texture repeats). But it doesn't always work well. In the bottom left the curve is made of many short line segments. Note the incorrect texture application. My program is written in Java, making use of the LWJGL OpenGL binding (and minor use of Slick, a 2D helper framework). I've made a zip file that contains an executable JAR so you can easily see the problem. It also has the Java code (there is only one source file) and an Eclipse project, so you can instantly run it through Eclipse and hack at it if you like. Here she is: http://n4te.com/temp/lines.zip To run, execute "java -jar lines.jar". You may need "-Djava.library.path=." before -jar if you are not on Windows. Press space to toggle texture/wireframe. The wireframe only shows the line segments, the triangle between them isn't drawn. I don't need to draw arbitrary lines, just bezier curves similar to what you see in the program. Sorry the code is a bit messy, once I have a solution I will refactor. I have investigated using GLUtessellator. It greatly simplified construction of the line, but I found that applying the texture was perfect. It worked most of the time (top image below), but long vertical curves would have severe texture distortion (bottom image below): This turned out to be much easier to code, but in the end worse than my approach. I believe what I'm trying to do is called "line tessellation" or "stroke tessellation". I assume this has been solved already? Is there standard code I can leverage? Otherwise, how can I fix my code so that the texture does not freak out on short, vertical curves?

  • Fixing LOD gaps, T-junctions

    - by Jaka Jancar
    I'm creating a heightmap renderer. One of the examples for solving gaps when doing LOD I found is this: (from Game Programming Gems 2 - Greg Snook - Simplified Terrain using Interlocking Tiles) Wouldn't this still produce a gap, if the three vertices encircled with red were not co-linear? Shouldn't the middle triangle be split into two, as I marked with the orange line? Am I misunderstanding the problem, or is there a mistake in the example?

  • How to design shape class

    - by Tomek Tarczynski
    I want to design shape class. I need to distinguish several different shapes: -Point -Line -Triangle -Circle -Polygons The main purpose of this class is to calculate distance between two shapes. I've all methods for calculating those distances, but I want to have a single method that can be used, it should looks like this: float Distance(Shape a, Shape b) Simplest way to do it is to put a lot of if statements and then invoke proper method but this is deffinitely not OOP. How to design such class in OOP style?

  • Inspecting variables in Xdebug problems

    - by tom
    I've been using xdebug to do php debugging (netbeans or eclipse). I am usually able to inspect variables OK. However, sometimes when I expand a disclosure triangle for a variable -- typically when the client is making an AJAX call -- it will result in an empty response being returned and causing the AJAX call to fail. Has anyone run into this? Is there a way to make PHP debugging with xdebug more robust? (Not being able to inspect variables defeats the purpose of a debugger. Thanks

  • Is it a good idea to keep all the enums in one place?

    - by kzen
    When I'm building a class library I usually create a file Enums.cs to hold all the enums used in the assembly. Here is an example: namespace MyNamespace { public enum Colors { Red, Green, Blue } public enum Shapes { Circle, Square, Triangle } } This makes all my enums easy to find, well organized and easy to access in code. I'm wondering if there is any reason why this would not be such a good idea?

  • can bound negative space be used in SVG?

    - by Anthony
    If I have a map of three countries, and their borders form the outline of a sea, is their a way with SVG to give that bound area attributes and style? Another example might be three triangles which form a third triangle in the center (like the triforce). If someone wanted to make that middle empty area glow (or whatever)...

  • jquery buttons icons for dialog

    - by khinester
    I have this code: $(function() { var mainButtons = [ {text: "Invite" , 'class': 'invite-button' , click: function() { // get list of members alert('Invite was clicked...'); } } // end Invite button , {text: "Options" , 'class': 'options-button' , click: function() { alert('Options...'); } } // end Options button ] // end mainButtons , commentButtons = [ {text: "Clear" , 'class': 'clear-button' , click: function() { $('#comment').val('').focus().select(); } } // end Clear button , {text: "Post comment" , 'class': 'post-comment-button' , click: function() { alert('send comment...'); } } // end Post comment ] // end commentButtons $( "#form" ).dialog({ autoOpen: false , height: 465 , width: 700 , modal: true , position: ['center', 35] , buttons: mainButtons }); $( "#user-form" ) .button() .click(function() { $(this).effect("transfer",{ to: $("#form") }, 1500); $( "#form" ).dialog( "open" ); $( ".invite-button" ).button({ icons: {primary:'ui-icon-person',secondary:'ui-icon-triangle-1-s'} }); $( ".options-button" ).button({ icons: {primary:'ui-icon-gear'} }); }); // Add comment... $("#comment, .comment").click(function(){ $('#comment').focus().select(); $("#form").dialog({buttons: commentButtons}); $( ".post-comment-button" ).button({ icons: {primary:'ui-icon-comment'} }); $( ".clear-button" ).button({ icons: {primary:'ui-icon-refresh'} }); }); //Add comment // Bind back the Invite, Options buttons $(".files, .email, .event, .map").click(function(){ $("#form").dialog({buttons: mainButtons}); $( ".invite-button" ).button({ icons: {primary:'ui-icon-person',secondary:'ui-icon-triangle-1-s'} }); $( ".options-button" ).button({ icons: {primary:'ui-icon-gear'} }); }); // Tabs $( "#tabs" ).tabs(); $( ".tabs-bottom .ui-tabs-nav, .ui-tabs-nav > *" ) .removeClass( "ui-widget-header" ) .addClass( "ui-corner-bottom" ); }); ? What is the right way to add the button icons? As in my code I had to add it two times, once: $( "#user-form" ) .button() .click(function() { $(this).effect("transfer",{ to: $("#form") }, 1500); $( "#form" ).dialog( "open" ); ... and $(".files, .email, .event, .map").click(function(){ ... Could this code be improved further? I don't seem to be able to get the "transfer" effect to work correctly in a modal. I added: , close: function() { $(this).effect("transfer",{ to: $("#user-form") }, 1500); } to the $( "#form" ).dialog({ How would you go about in getting the "transfer" to work nicely when you open and close the dialog box?

  • The difference between triangulation and mesh

    - by xiao
    I have done some computer graphical programming recently, and I have no experience before. I used the library call CGAL(computer geometry algorithm library). Also, I noticed that there is class for triangulation and also class for mesh. Is mesh just a kind of triangle net? Do they have any differences? Thanks!

  • Hi Quality texturing.

    - by Tigran
    Hi all. I'm completely new in Open GL, so have a question. I need to apply hi quality texturing on the surface rendered via triangles . But on zooming i continue see the triangle's under the skin, it's not smooth. I use OpenGL built-in minMapping. So I wonder (lookig at other products) do i need to implement my own mipMapping algorithm or I'm doing something wrong ? This is what I want , more ore less, like a quality:

  • What's the best way to draw a fullscreen quad in OpenGL 3.2?

    - by Phineas
    I'm doing ray casting in the fragment shader. I can think of a couple ways to draw a fullscreen quad for this purpose. Either draw a quad in clip space with the projection matrix set to the identity matrix, or use the geometry shader to turn a point into a triangle strip. The former uses immediate mode, deprecated in OpenGL 3.2. The latter I use out of novelty, but it still uses immediate mode to draw a point.

  • Is it possible to call the main(String[] args) after catching an exception?

    - by Jason
    I'm working on a Serpinski triangle program that asks the user for the levels of triangles to draw. In the interests of idiot-proofing my program, I put this in: Scanner input= new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println(msg); try { level= input.nextInt(); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.print(warning); //restart main method } Is it possible, if the user punches in a letter or symbol, to restart the main method after the exception has been caught?
