DX9: Deformed Textures

Hi there, I'm trying to get a start on DirectX9, currently it's texture loading to learn. I've experienced a problem when displaying a texture loaded with a simple D3DXCreateTextureFromFile- I'm mapping that texture on a 3-sided pyramid, but when rotating that pyramid it deforms the texture (as shown here). Changing D3DDEVTYPE_REF to D3DDEVTYPE_HAL didn't help, D3DCREATE_SOFTWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING or D3DCREATE_HARDWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING also didn't change anything. I'm not working with lights, D3DRS_LIGHTING is set to false, the FVF type is D3DFVF_XYZ|D3DFVF_DIFFUSE|D3DFVF_TEX1. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance, Michael Here's the source:

It's hard to tell, but it could be that your triangles have reversed winding, so you're seeing the back faces, not the front faces. That would mean you are seeing the inside of the pyramid, not the outside, which could give the perspective on your picture.

Trying changing the winding of your triangles (easily done by swapping vertex 2 and 3 in each triangle), or change the culling from clockwise (CW) to count-clockwise (CCW).

like Promethium said, add this in, g_pD3Device->SetRenderState(D3DRS_CULLMODE, mode);

where mode could be one of these

D3DCULL_NONE
D3DCULL_CW
D3DCULL_CCW

Just for clarification,
what you refer to as a 3-sided pyramid is a Tetrahedron

The triangles are all CCW, so that's fine.

And, from the picture, it appears you're seeing the texture coordinates you've programmed in.

It does appear somewhat distorted but you also have a very odd-shaped pyramid ( the length along x=150, along y=125, along z = 100 ) so you may very well be seeing what you've programmed.

Please don't PM me with questions. Post them in the forums for everyone's benefit, and I can embarrass myself publicly.

Thanks for the answers from all of you!

Buckeye got it right: The Tetrahedron (sorry for naming it "pyramid") was pretty malformed. After recalculating it having absolutely isosceles triangles with the Y-axis running through the base triangle's centroid, the problem disappeared.

Computers only do what we tell them to do, I should more often believe in that. Or as we say in my home country: "There was a bend in my eye's pupil" [grin]

Sorry for wasting your time for that...

Michael

Here are the correct coordinates:

	sVertex triangle[num_vert]=        {            // x, y, z, color, normal			// bottom			{  -50.0f,  0.0f,  28.9f,  1.0f,1.0f},		// 1			{   50.0f,  0.0f,  28.9f,  0.0f,1.0f},		 // 2			{    0.0f,  0.0f, -57.7f,  0.5f,0.0f},		 // 3			// front			{  -50.0f,  0.0f,  28.9f,  0.0f,1.0f},		// 1			{    0.0f,  81.7f, 0.0f,  0.5f,0.0f},		// 4			{   50.0f,  0.0f,  28.9f,  1.0f,1.0f},		 // 2			// Right			{   50.0f,  0.0f,  28.9f,  0.0f,1.0f},		 // 2			{    0.0f,  81.7f,  0.0f,  0.5f,0.0f},		// 4			{    0.0f,  0.0f, -57.7f,  1.0f,1.0f},		 // 3			// Left			{    0.0f,  0.0f, -57.7f,  0.0f,1.0f},		 // 3			{    0.0f,  81.7f,  0.0f,  0.5f,0.0f},		// 4			{  -50.0f,  0.0f,  28.9f,  1.0f,1.0f},		// 1        };
