Change the program to display 16 identical heightmaps arranged in a 4 x 4 grid. The edges of the heightmaps should be side by side in X and Z coordinates. However, they will not touch in the Y direction because the heights will be different.
C++
The below code is what I have already, i am just not too sure how to make it show the 16 identical heightmaps arranged in a 4x4 grid. I know it has to do with the squares on the height map, but i am very confused.
const int HEIGHTMAP_SIZE = 12;
float heights[HEIGHTMAP_SIZE + 1][HEIGHTMAP_SIZE + 1];
initDisplay();
for (unsigned int x = 0; x <= HEIGHTMAP_SIZE; x++)
{
for (unsigned int z = 0; z <= HEIGHTMAP_SIZE; z++)
{
heights[x][z] = (x % 2) * 0.5f -
z * z * 0.05f;
}
}
//TextureManager::activate("rainbow.bmp");
initHeightmapDisplayList();
void initHeightmapHeights()
{
for (unsigned int x0 = 0; x0 < HEIGHTMAP_SIZE; x0++)
{
unsigned int x1 = x0 + 1;
float tex_x0 = (float)(x0) / HEIGHTMAP_SIZE;
float tex_x1 = (float)(x1) / HEIGHTMAP_SIZE;
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP);
for (unsigned int z = 0; z <= HEIGHTMAP_SIZE; z++)
{
float tex_z = (float)(z) / HEIGHTMAP_SIZE;
glTexCoord2d(tex_x1, tex_z);
glVertex3d(x1, heights[x1][z], z);
glTexCoord2d(tex_x0, tex_z);
glVertex3d(x0, heights[x0][z], z);
}
glEnd();
}
}
void initHeightmapDisplayList()
{
heightmap_list.begin();
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
TextureManager::activate("ground.bmp");
glColor3d(1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
initHeightmapHeights();
glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
heightmap_list.end();
}
I suspect that your TextureManager
already has a way of doing this without direct calls to OpenGL.
What you should do is make the texture repeat itself.
glTexParamteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_REPEAT);
By then scaling your texture coordinates up by a factor of 4
, you would obtain a 4x4
grid of the original texture.
