Hey,
I'm simply loading a OBJ model, created in blender. This is what I get:
Now, GL_SMOOTH IS enabled, but still the sphere looks as if GL_FLAT is on. So, this can only be a normal calculation problem. The above sphere is using the normals generated by blender.
However, using the code below, I get the same result:
void Model::buildNormals()
{
for (int j = 0; j <_vn.size(); j++)
{
_vn[j][0] = 0;
_vn[j][1] = 0;
_vn[j][2] = 0;
}
for (int j = 0; j < _numfaces; j++)
{
face &f = _faces[j];
Vector3f &v0 = _v[f.v[0]];
Vector3f &v1 = _v[f.v[1]];
Vector3f &v2 = _v[f.v[2]];
Vector3f &vn0 = _vn[f.vn[0]];
Vector3f &vn1 = _vn[f.vn[1]];
Vector3f &vn2 = _vn[f.vn[2]];
float Ax = v1[0] - v0[0];
float Ay = v1[1] - v0[1];
float Az = v1[2] - v0[2];
float Bx = v2[0] - v0[0];
float By = v2[1] - v0[1];
float Bz = v2[2] - v0[2];
float nx = Ay * Bz - By * Az;
float ny = -(Ax * Bz - Bx * Az);
float nz = Ax * By - Bx * Ay;
vn0[0] += nx;
vn0[1] += ny;
vn0[2] += nz;
vn1[0] += nx;
vn1[1] += ny;
vn1[2] += nz;
vn2[0] += nx;
vn2[1] += ny;
vn2[2] += nz;
}
for (int j = 0; j < _vn.size(); j++)
{
Vector3f &vn = _vn[j];
float len = float(sqrt(vn[0] * vn[0] + vn[1] * vn[1] + vn[2] * vn[2]));
if (len)
{
vn[0] /= len;
vn[1] /= len;
vn[2] /= len;
}
}
}
Any help?
Huge thanks!
