Heightmap Terrain

[Kaiidyn]

managed to get heightmap working, and want to share it with all of you

When using it make sure you have a Texture Manager with a TextureID ready, (I used a flat gray 128x128 image for this)

Code Select Expand

public class Terrain {

public static float HighestPoint = 0;


static Bitmap bmp = null;
static String pixel = null;
public static Object3D Generate(int X_SIZE, int Z_SIZE, TextureManager tm, String TextureID){

bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(SpaceGrabber.resources, R.drawable.terrain); // the heightmap texture (128x128 due to memory limitations?)

float[][] terrain = new float[X_SIZE][Z_SIZE];

for (int x = 0; x < X_SIZE-1; x++) {
for (int z = 0; z < Z_SIZE-1; z++) {

pixel = Integer.toString(bmp.getPixel(x, z), 16);
terrain[x][z] = Integer.parseInt(pixel.charAt(1) + "" + pixel.charAt(2), 16);

if(terrain[x][z] > HighestPoint){
HighestPoint = terrain[x][z];
}
}

}
for (int x = 0; x < X_SIZE - 1; x++) {
for (int z = 0; z < Z_SIZE - 1; z++) {
terrain[x][z] = (terrain[x][z] + terrain[x + 1][z] + terrain[x][z + 1] + terrain[x + 1][z + 1]) / 4;
}
}
Object3D ground = new Object3D(X_SIZE * Z_SIZE * 2);

float xSizeF = (float) X_SIZE;
float zSizeF = (float) Z_SIZE;

int id = tm.getTextureID(TextureID); // I used a gray 128x128 texture

for (int x = 0; x < X_SIZE - 1; x++) {
for (int z = 0; z < Z_SIZE - 1; z++) {

TextureInfo ti = new TextureInfo(id, (x / xSizeF), (z / zSizeF), ((x + 1) / xSizeF), (z / zSizeF), (x / xSizeF), ((z + 1) / zSizeF));
ground.addTriangle(new SimpleVector(x * 10, terrain[x][z], z * 10), new SimpleVector((x + 1) * 10, terrain[x + 1][z], z * 10),
new SimpleVector(x * 10, terrain[x][z + 1], (z + 1) * 10), ti);

ti = new TextureInfo(id, (x / xSizeF), ((z + 1) / zSizeF), ((x + 1) / xSizeF), (z / zSizeF), ((x + 1) / xSizeF), ((z + 1) / zSizeF));
ground.addTriangle(new SimpleVector(x * 10, terrain[x][z + 1], (z + 1) * 10), new SimpleVector((x + 1) * 10, terrain[x + 1][z], z * 10), new SimpleVector((x + 1) * 10,
terrain[x + 1][z + 1], (z + 1) * 10), ti);
}
}

return ground;
}
}

Thank you for your kindly

The wiki has a code snippet section. Maybe you want to add it there too?

Great, thank you.

Is it possible that you optimize this snippet and add it to a new version of jPCT (and ae) ?

use it like

Terrain terrain = new Terrain();
terrain.Generate(sizex, sizex, maxheight);
and
terrain.fromHeightmap(resource image);
or/and
terrain.fromHeightmap("path/to/image");

returning Object3D

and perhaps a SimpleVector getSize() to return the size of the terrain in a SimpleVector.
