building a 3d grid function
Author
Hey, I have been working on a 3d program for just over a month now, and I need help setting up a 3d grid function (just add width, height, and size of the box. It should run on the x and z axis I guess, y is vertical height). So the function should look like:
BuildGrid(float width, float height, float units).
But I am having trouble figuring out how to do the rest. I know I don't want to do it using textures for the units, so would glVertexs work best? What I need is a way to figure out how to draw the right amount of lines and where at. Any tips?

Here you go, let me know if this accomplished what you were looking for:
void BuildGrid(float width, float height, float units){ for(float i = -(width / 2); i <= (width / 2); i += (width / units)) { glBegin(GL_LINES); //line along x axis glVertex3f(-(width / 2), height, i); glVertex3f((width / 2), height, i); //line along z axis glVertex3f(i, height, -(width / 2)); glVertex3f(i, height, (width / 2)); glEnd(); }}This topic is closed to new replies.
