Coding a sphere?
Author
I''m coding a this game and I need to code a sphere in format:
X,Y,Z X,Y,Z X,Y,Z (in textfile) but how to create this ball?
Here''s the function that I use. It''s optimized for triangle strips. It generates normals and texture coordinates.
// draws a sphere with tex coords// radius - radius// lat_step - number of horizontal sections// long_step - number of vertical sections// draw_type - how the sphere is to be renderedvoid DrawSphere(double radius, int lat_step, int long_step, bool lighting, int draw_type){ double DEGTORAD = 0.0174532925199432; glPushMatrix(); glBegin(draw_type); for (double i = 0; i < 180; i += 180/lat_step) { glTexCoord2d(0, i/180); glVertex3d(radius * sin(i * DEGTORAD), cos(i * DEGTORAD) * radius, 0.0f); glTexCoord2d(0, (i + 180/lat_step)/180); glVertex3d(radius * sin((i + 180/lat_step) * DEGTORAD), cos((i + 180/lat_step) * DEGTORAD) * radius, 0.0f); for (double j = 0; j < 360; j += 360/long_step) { if (lighting) glNormal3d(cos(DEGTORAD * (j + 360/(long_step * 2))) * sin((i + 180/(lat_step * 2)) * DEGTORAD), cos((i + 180/(lat_step * 2)) * DEGTORAD), -sin(DEGTORAD * (j + 360/(long_step * 2))) * sin((i + 180/(lat_step * 2)) * DEGTORAD)); glTexCoord2d((j + 360/long_step)/360, i/180); glVertex3d(cos(DEGTORAD * (j + 360/long_step)) * radius * sin(i * DEGTORAD), cos(i * DEGTORAD) * radius, -sin(DEGTORAD * (j + 360/long_step)) * radius * sin(i * DEGTORAD)); glTexCoord2d((j + 360/long_step)/360, (i + 180/lat_step)/180); glVertex3d(cos(DEGTORAD * (j + 360/long_step)) * radius * sin((i + 180/lat_step) * DEGTORAD), cos((i + 180/lat_step) * DEGTORAD) * radius, -sin(DEGTORAD * (j + 360/long_step)) * radius * sin((i + 180/lat_step) * DEGTORAD)); } } glEnd(); glPopMatrix();} This topic is closed to new replies.
