I am quite new to OpenGL, I have managed after long trial and error to integrate Nehe's Cel-Shading rendering with my Model loaders, and have them drawn using the Toon shade and outline AND their original texture at the same time. The result is actually a very nice Cel Shading effect of the model texture, but it is havling the speed of the program, it's quite very slow even with just 3 models on screen...
Since the result was kind of hacked together, I am thinking that maybe I am performing some extra steps or extra rendering tasks that maybe are not needed, and are slowing down the game?
Something unnecessary that maybe you guys could spot?
Both MD2 and 3DS loader have an InitToon() function called upon creation to load the shader
initToon(){
int i; // Looping Variable ( NEW )
char Line[255]; // Storage For 255 Characters ( NEW )
float shaderData[32][3]; // Storate For The 96 Shader Values ( NEW )
FILE *In = fopen ("Shader.txt", "r"); // Open The Shader File ( NEW )
if (In) // Check To See If The File Opened ( NEW )
{
for (i = 0; i < 32; i++) // Loop Though The 32 Greyscale Values ( NEW )
{
if (feof (In)) // Check For The End Of The File ( NEW )
break;
fgets (Line, 255, In); // Get The Current Line ( NEW )
shaderData[i][0] = shaderData[i][1] = shaderData[i][2] = float(atof (Line)); // Copy Over The Value ( NEW )
}
fclose (In); // Close The File ( NEW )
}
else
return false; // It Went Horribly Horribly Wrong ( NEW )
glGenTextures (1, &shaderTexture[0]); // Get A Free Texture ID ( NEW )
glBindTexture (GL_TEXTURE_1D, shaderTexture[0]); // Bind This Texture. From Now On It Will Be 1D ( NEW )
// For Crying Out Loud Don't Let OpenGL Use Bi/Trilinear Filtering! ( NEW )

glTexParameteri (GL_TEXTURE_1D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
glTexImage1D (GL_TEXTURE_1D, 0, GL_RGB, 32, 0, GL_RGB , GL_FLOAT, shaderData); // Upload ( NEW )
}
This is the drawing for the animated MD2 model:
void MD2Model::drawToon() {
float outlineWidth = 3.0f; // Width Of The Lines ( NEW )
float outlineColor[3] = { 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f }; // Color Of The Lines ( NEW )
// ORIGINAL PART OF THE FUNCTION
//Figure out the two frames between which we are interpolating
int frameIndex1 = (int)(time * (endFrame - startFrame + 1)) + startFrame;
if (frameIndex1 > endFrame) {
frameIndex1 = startFrame;
}
int frameIndex2;
if (frameIndex1 < endFrame) {
frameIndex2 = frameIndex1 + 1;
}
else {
frameIndex2 = startFrame;
}
MD2Frame* frame1 = frames + frameIndex1;
MD2Frame* frame2 = frames + frameIndex2;
//Figure out the fraction that we are between the two frames
float frac =
(time - (float)(frameIndex1 - startFrame) /
(float)(endFrame - startFrame + 1)) * (endFrame - startFrame + 1);

//Draw the model as an interpolation between the two frames

Finally this is the tex.Use() function that loads a BMP texture and somehow gets blended perfectly with the Toon shading
void GLTexture::Use()
{
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D); // Enable texture mapping
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture[0]); // Bind the texture as the current one
}
