Rotate Texture

[dear_stephen]

Hi

I would like to create an object with a texture mappling as showen in the image below. Projecting an image from the top onto a plain is no problem but I would like to project it from the side. Can someone please tell me what I am missing?

cheers

I think you would have to create additional textures that represent the side view. I can't think of a way to derive that view from the actual terrain texture ATM.

Well, matbe you need to adjust that on your model before exporting it as 3DS. Which 3d modeler are you using?

I am creating the mesh with code. My first attempt was using a plain and just assigning a texture but without finding a way to rotate the texture I have created the mesh myself using u v texture mapping. It is sort of working but I seem to have some rounding errors or some other mistake.

The v coordinate should be the y value of the vertex.

How is this supposed to look? The lines should all be in parallel, i asume?

[dear_stephen]

Sorry for the lack of explanation. The mistake was that I was giving the bottom of the block a v of 0 even though it had a y<0, hence the error.

Here is the final result which I am very pleased with. I think I am going to be using JPCT a lot more in future.

Looks nice! What exactly is its purpose? Some kind of scientific visualization?

No quite It's a fruit bowl routered out of a piece of wood.

Soon you will be able to choose your favourate part of the earth and have it turned into a bowl like the one above.

It will be available on http://www.fluidforms.at in the next month.
