Anyone know of a quick way to check if a point is within the cameras viewing frustum, or even better a sphere instead of a point?
Hi Bigsofty, making a box like the truncated cone of the camera and looking into itself?¿... or if you launch some raycast and get the collisions?¿... Really I don´t know nothing about maths for do this... but perhaps can be useful this couple of ideas.
Regards,
Thank for the ideas Mentalthink. ;)
This morning, while browsing the web, I found a relevant article with a C example so I think I will just in-line that and see how I get on.

What is the point in telling us when you could share with us?

I didn't think it would be of use to anyone else but me as I assumed GLBasic 3D already has frustum culling built in? You see I am not using the GLBasic 3D Engine but my own hybrid inlined GLES one.
I have absolutely no problem posting the frustum code, I hope it's of use to you. ;)

ENDFUNCTIONJust paste this into your project and it should work. I should say, that appart from a quick compile for errors this is untested.
There are 4 functions above...
FUNCTION CalcFrustum:
FUNCTION IsPointInFrustum%: x#,y#,z#
FUNCTION IsSphereInFrustum1%: x#,y#,z#,r#
FUNCTION IsSphereInFrustum2#: x#,y#,z#,r#This is the main frustum calculation routine.
CalcFrustum()Call this once per game loop to update the frustum calculation.
These are the test routines.
IsPointInFrustum()Returns True if a point in within the frustum.
IsSphereInFrustum1()Returns True is a sphere with radius of 'r#' is within the frustum.
IsSphereInFrustum2()Returns False if your sphere is not within frustum, else it returns the distance from the front plane to the sphere. Handy for LoD calculations for example.
Just to say again, these are untested.
EDIT: I just realised that this wont compile on your system as it directly calls the OpenGL API (eg "glGetFloatv") from within the C. I have a C header file that I include with all my projects, in the "cmp" project option ("-include general.h") for all the various #Includes that I need for my in-line stuff, of which one of these is "gl.h", so GLB will throw up an error here. Just leave this and I'll get it up and running properly tomorrow, with a little luck. I suppose I could just convert it to GLBasic...
That's cool and it's certainly something useful for reference or even learning. Nicely done! :good:
OK, here it is without the external header dependencies, again though, untested but it looks OK as far as I can see.

I actually found some time to test it within my framework and it worked well. I'll post a copy to the snippets forum now.
Sry Old Thread but i can need a bit of help!
I test the thing and it cuts a lot of things away... but the wrong ones.
I use PUSH- and POPMATRIX and rotation with an array of cubes, maybe this is my problem?!
See this thread here, maybe someone can help me to finger this out?!

Thx for the help :good:
Glget matrix might not work on all mobiles. Send me an email and I send a better solution.

This does work on my own couple of tablets I tried it on but I am sure Gernot will supply a superior solution. ;)
I would like to see Gernots solution posted here.
I will see a solution :D
