Problem 3d on Android

[mentalthink]

Hi in Android I have a very strange effect in 3D.

I explain but it´s a little confuse, when you draw somethings geomtries, in example making a for, and repeat sometimes a geometry, you have an extrange effect like if any geometry is over the previous geometry, in some cases parts of the geometries turns transparents when rotating the objects.

NOT it´s a trouble of X_Cullmode I try all modes -1,0 and 1 and the effects occurs, but drawing the normal what you select whit X_Cullmode.

PS: If it´s too much confuse I try to make a capture in Android and Palm Pre...

We noticed that too. It's terrible. As if the z-buffer was inverse.

Ok Gernnot don´t care, my game don´t go to the market in a long time... only was for advice.
Thanks

It is weird - the only thing I can suggest is change your rendering order...

[Kitty Hello]

maybe there's no Z-buffer in use AT ALL!?

Can someone quickly test a plane and an intersecting triangle?

Sorry to highjack this thread, but I too have a problem with Android and 3D and it seemed a bit silly starting up a new thread when this one will sufice. Basically, everything runs fine on the PC (Colour wise), but on my phone the image is coming back all blue ;(

The first pic is how it should look, the 2nd is how it looks on my phone (ive manually edited it to look like that, cant get a decent snap shot of the actual phone screen, sorry). It looks like there is no red or green component.

Are you using ambient lighting or a spot light ?

[Minion]

Thankyou MrTAToad. Its my first venture into 3D (In GLB) and had assumed that some form of lighting was required, so had an ambient light of 0xffffff. Had I tried without that it works fine. Thank you. Now... this ambient light problem with Android .....

[MrTAToad]

That ambient light value should be fine (and should be white) - I presume you use RGB(255,255,255)

This seems to be still a an issue as X_ENABLE_Z has no effect in Android. When setting X_ENABLE_Z as false in WIN32 is what it looks like on the Android. For just one object only and it is fine with the camera internally, but external display the X_OBJADDVERTEX group order.

Can this be set? Otherwise I'll break down objects and z-ordering so without having the camera on the inside/backside. For example, a wall with four sides as one object should be four object walls pushmatrixed as a room.

My recomendation Minion(Wellcome) it's use the Kanonet Library of OpenGL or mine... Kanonet it's better done but mine have a bit more of contorl over the lights...
GLbasic by default it' a bit poor in 3D... but you can do cool things using AO, and global ilumination from a 3D suite.

Hi Mental, the thread is old, it is more about Matchy´s latest question, which unfortunantly I have no clue about.

Would your or kanonet´s lib work on android?

[mentalthink]

JAJAJ!!!  I read the question of Minion and I thinked was this...

About the Libraries, I think the Kanonet have to work... mine yes works in anyplace... I only take the OpenGlES 1.1 and make more commands... I test in devices like PalmPre and runs fine... I'm not sure 100% all commands runs fine , but you can do more interesting things than using the default with GLBasic.

[matchy]

Could it be simply a inline opengl command for enabling the (object face) zorder?
I have used Kanonet's libESL but the OpenGL commands relate to light. mentalthink, where is your library?
 
Experimentally, from the camera origin I radially draw objects in zorder fine. So now I would have to reallocate how an object would be drawn with software face culling. Let's say, a cube is created with the front, back, left, right, top and then bottom. To view this from another angle, either a fixed or runtime object would be used.

[kanonet]

I dont really understand what you want to do/is not working.

I think mental was talking about my light fixes, even though its no lib, more a demonstration how to do it.
