I am also having a problem with texturing. My cube is just showing up as one color instead of showing any texture.

private World world;
private FrameBuffer buffer;
private Object3D box;

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
new HelloWorld().loop();
}

public HelloWorld() throws Exception {
world = new World();
world.setAmbientLight(0, 255, 0);

TextureManager.getInstance().addTexture("box", new Texture("res/grass.png"));

box = Primitives.getBox(4f, 4f);

box.build();
box.setTexture("box");
world.addObject(box);

world.getCamera().setPosition(50, -50, -5);
world.getCamera().lookAt(box.getTransformedCenter());
}


private void loop() throws Exception {
buffer = new FrameBuffer(800, 600, FrameBuffer.SAMPLINGMODE_NORMAL);
buffer.disableRenderer(IRenderer.RENDERER_SOFTWARE);
buffer.enableRenderer(IRenderer.RENDERER_OPENGL);

while (!org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.isCloseRequested()) {
box.rotateY(0.01f);
buffer.clear(java.awt.Color.BLUE);
world.renderScene(buffer);
world.draw(buffer);
buffer.update();
buffer.displayGLOnly();
Thread.sleep(10);
}
buffer.disableRenderer(IRenderer.RENDERER_OPENGL);
buffer.dispose();
System.exit(0);
}


I'm trying to build a map editor, and was trying to find an elegant solution to intergrating the Canvas inside Swing. My crappy attempt resulted in failure. Any help on this? I couldn't really find anything in the wiki or forums.

alright, just wondering is there a way to change the color of a object3d?

this is bgilb btw just forgot to login

Any chance someone can make a short tutorial on the workings of object matrices, camera matrices, and how to properly do all types of rotations and translations. Maybe then we can build on this and make a complete tutorial set

it almost works, it just creates 2 windows now ( one thats empty but still has action listiner for mouse ) and then the graphics are in the new window ..

quick question .. how do i enable Opengl properly? It seems the way im doing it isnt working because i dont get any fps gain at all, heres what i call:


buffer.enableRenderer(IRenderer.RENDERER_SOFTWARE, IRenderer.MODE_OPENGL);
buffer.usesRenderer(IRenderer.RENDERER_OPENGL);

damnit i wish i woulda saw this polygonmanager earlier!!! thank you egon!

its a mapeditor :O so im trying to be able to place tiles and such on he map ( changing its texture etc )

basically im trying to make a mapeditor like wc3

then what could i do besides rebuilding the mesh? is there way to add and delete polys on runtime?

well i fixed it by doing -Xmx1024m and it works but now it takes forever to load the map and every time i change the texture the rebuilding takes forever... right now for each texture its its own Object, would it be bad to make each tile its own object? sounds risky since that would be ( for the biggest map ) 65,000 objects

im using JCreator and i added it under project settings where it says Command: and it says invalid heap size

yeah i have no idea how to use command line stuff :O

i get the error "OutOfMemory" sorry if i didnt say

Im wondering why the maxtriangles for a Object3D exists, because it leaves me second guessing and having to use the max amount of triangles possible ( its somethign like 33,000 ) this seems like alot but im trying to make maps 512x512 tiles big. Now im not stupid and each tile isn't its own object3d.. instead i made each texture a object3d. Now is there anyway around this to allow me to have Much larger maps? the current limit only allows me 128x128 maps ( and at still very good FPS and such )
