Hello all,
I've been fiddling around with matrices. I think I have everything it working, however, the results seem kind of strange.
No rotation:
45 degrees rotation around the z-axis.
It seems like the proportions after rotations are incorrect, is this just me or what?
I've set the FOV to 90 degrees and the aspect ratio to 1024/768 for a 1024x768 window.
Thanks in advance for any help.
By far the most common error would be the way you calculate the aspect ratio. If both the dividend and the divisor are integers, then, depending on the language, you are likely getting an integer division so the aspect ratio is an integer. Solution is to cast either the dividend or the divisor, or both, to a floating point value to force a floating point division.
Are WINDOW_WIDTH and WINDOW_HEIGHT floating point values? If not, you are doing integer division when calculating the aspect ratio.
Camera c(1, 100, .25*TAU, WINDOW_WIDTH / WINDOW_HEIGHT);
are WINDOW_WIDTH and WINDOW_HEIGHT integers? Try this
Camera c(1, 100, .25*TAU, (float)WINDOW_WIDTH / WINDOW_HEIGHT);
EDIT: Ninja'd
Oh sorry, yes:
const static float WINDOW_WIDTH = 1024;
const static float WINDOW_HEIGHT = 768;
void setLookat(const Vector3f& target, const Vector3f& up)
As far as I know n and u are orthogonal for target=(0,0,1) and up=(0,1,0) but I've changed
v = n.cross(u)to
v = n.cross(u).normalized()but still the same image.
Maybe I should have mentioned this earlier, but the quad is a square, the vertex coordinates are:
{
{-0.5f, 0.5f, 1},
{ 0.5f, 0.5f, 1},
{-0.5f, -0.5f, 1},
{ 0.5f, -0.5f, 1}
}
