Loading obj model OK but not displayed

[Anton]

Hi all. I have some problem with displaying obj model.
Here code of my renderer class:

        }

        fb = new FrameBuffer(width, height);

        world = new World();
        cam = world.getCamera();

        InputStream objStream = mContext.getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.test_obj);
        Object3D[] loadRes = Loader.loadOBJ(objStream, null, 3);

        Object3D cube = loadRes[0];
        cube.setCollisionMode(Object3D.COLLISION_CHECK_OTHERS | Object3D.COLLISION_CHECK_SELF);
        cube.build();

        world.addObject(cube);

        Light light = new Light(world);
        light.setPosition(new SimpleVector(0, -80, 0));
        light.setIntensity(140, 120, 120);
        light.setAttenuation(-1);

        world.setAmbientLight(20, 20, 20);

        cam.moveCamera(Camera.CAMERA_MOVEUP, 200);
        cam.lookAt(cube.getTransformedCenter());

        fb.clear(Color.RED);
        world.renderScene(fb);
        world.draw(fb);
        fb.display();

   }
}

Obj file in attachment as test.txt.
The main problem i'm don't see loaded object on the scene.
Can some help me please?

[EgonOlsen]

The most common reasons are: The object is too small, too large or far away from the origin in object space. Try to play around with scale and position. Look at the result of getCenter() after calling build() and the dimensions of the bounding box (can be obtained from the mesh).

[Anton]

Egon, thank you for reply.
I am trying to scale, translate the object but still I do not see it. I'm a newbie in 3D programming and probably not fully understand all the methods of working with 3D objects.
Can you help me to determine what kind of transformation I must do that the object became visible.

[EgonOlsen]

Even without trying the model itseld, you can spot the issue from the file itself:

v  39140.1797 1560.7319 -45251.5781
v  39140.1797 1560.7319 -45326.3555
v  39062.1797 1560.7319 -45326.3555
v  39124.3594 1560.7319 -45251.5781


These are examples from the file's vertex definition list. You are loading them with scale 3, which means that your coordinates are located somewhere at 120,000,...,-135.000...which basically means: This thing is huge and far away from the camera anyway. Try to load it with a scale of 0.01 or even 0.001 and see if that helps.

[Anton]

Egon, thank you very much.
By selecting I found the correct scale. When I load model it is 0.001f and after build I scale it with parameter 20.
But it is not clear if I load model with 0.02f scale and after build I do not scale I do not see it again.
What different between this approaches?

[EgonOlsen]

The center is different. The model scales around its rotation pivot (which is the calculated center by default). It might be a good idea to translate the object by the -1*center to place it at the origin. Then both approaches should deliver the same results.

[Anton]

If I understand correctly this code translate model to the origin and set rotation pivot and center to the origin. Is it right? And then I must scale model as I need?

InputStream objStream = mContext.getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.test_obj);
Object3D[] loadRes = Loader.loadOBJ(objStream, null, 1);

cube = loadRes[0];

float[] bb = cube.getMesh().getBoundingBox();
cube.translate(-(bb[0] + ((bb[1] - bb[0]) / 2)),
-(bb[2] + ((bb[3] - bb[2]) / 2)), -(bb[4] + ((bb[5] - bb[4]) / 2)));
cube.translateMesh();
cube.setTranslationMatrix(new Matrix());

cube.build();

cube.setCenter(SimpleVector.ORIGIN);
cube.setRotationPivot(SimpleVector.ORIGIN);

cube.scale(0.05f);

world.addObject(cube);


[EgonOlsen]

Yes, something like that. Personally, I would have used getCenter() instead of the center of the bounding box, but it highly depends on the model which will work better.

[Anton]

Thanks a lot.
I will continue to learn the basics.
