center of rotation of multiple objects opengl - java

I am having problem rotating a cube along its own axis and not some arbitrary position. The cube is a collection of other 27 cubes and I have succesfully managed to rotate the group of cubes but not in correct way. I mean when I rotated the cube in x-axis, it makes an orbit around the enter (0,0,0) and not in its own axis. How can i make the cube rotate about its own axis?
public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl)
{
gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL10.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
gl.glLoadIdentity();
gl.glScalef(0.8f, 0.8f, 0.8f);
int k=0;
gl.glPushMatrix();
gl.glRotatef(cubeRotX, 0.0f, 0.0f , 1.0f);
gl.glRotatef(cubeRotY, 0.0f, 1.0f , 0.0f);
for(int l=0; l<3; l++)
{
if(l == 2) //To rotate only the first front polygon in 1.7f angle
{
gl.glPushMatrix();
gl.glRotatef(rot, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
}
for(int i=0; i<3; i++)
{
for(int j=0; j<3; j++)
{
gl.glPushMatrix();
gl.glTranslatef(-2.1f+(2.1f*i), -2.1f+(2.1f*j), -23.1f+(2.1f*l));
cube[k++].draw(gl);
gl.glPopMatrix();
}
}
if(l ==2)
{
gl.glPopMatrix();
if(rot >= 90.0f)
rot = 90.0f;
else
rot += 4.0f;
}
}
gl.glPopMatrix();
cubeRotX -= 5.0f;
cubeRotY -= 5.0f;
}

To rotate each individual cube, apply a rotation inside the inner glPushMatrix.
EDIT: I missundertood you. More information asked.
After your clarifications:
Load Identity
Apply general transform for all objects
Push matrix
Apply rotation for all child cubes around sun and the sun itself (a general rotation for all cubes around the sun, probably this could be no rotation at all depending on what do you want to archive)
Push matrix
Apply revolution for your "sun".
draw sun
Pop Matrix
For each inner/child cube:
Push matrix
Apply rot
draw cube
pop matrix

Sphere collision test reacts too quickly

I'm writing a game for Android using Java and OpenGL. I can render everything perfectly to screen, but when I try to check whether two objects collide or not, my algorithm detects a collision before it occurs on the screen.
Here's how I test for collision:
for(int i=0; i<enemies.size(); i++) {
float enemyRadius = enemies.elementAt(i).worldSpaceBoundingSphereRadius();
float[] enemyPosition = enemies.elementAt(i).getWorldSpaceCoordinates();
for(int j=0; j<qubieBullets.size(); j++) {
float bulletRadius = bullets.elementAt(j).worldSpaceBoundingSphereRadius();
float[] bulletPosition = bullets.elementAt(j).getWorldSpaceCoordinates();
float[] distanceVector = Vector3f.subtract(enemyPosition, bulletPosition);
float distance = Vector3f.length(distanceVector);
if(distance < (enemyRadius + bulletRadius)) {
enemies.remove(i);
qubieBullets.remove(j);
i--;
j--;
// Reset enemy position
}
}
}
When the enemy cube (represented by a sphere for collision detection) closes in on the player, the player shoots a bullet (also a cube represented by a sphere) toward the enemy. My expectations are that the enemy gets reset when the bullet hits him on screen, but it happens way earlier than that.
The methods for calculation world space position and radius:
public float[] getWorldSpaceCoordinates() {
float[] modelSpaceCenter = {0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f};
float[] worldSpaceCenter = new float[4];
Matrix.multiplyMV(worldSpaceCenter, 0, getModelMatrix(), 0, modelSpaceCenter, 0);
return new float[] {worldSpaceCenter[0]/worldSpaceCenter[3], worldSpaceCenter[1]/worldSpaceCenter[3], worldSpaceCenter[2]/worldSpaceCenter[3]};
}
public float worldSpaceBoundingSphereRadius() {
float[] arbitraryVertex = new float[] {1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f};
float[] worldSpaceVector = new float[4];
Matrix.multiplyMV(worldSpaceVector, 0, getModelMatrix(), 0, arbitraryVertex, 0);
float[] xyz = new float[] {worldSpaceVector[0]/worldSpaceVector[3], worldSpaceVector[1]/worldSpaceVector[3], worldSpaceVector[2]/worldSpaceVector[3]};
return Vector3f.length(xyz);
}
Is it my code or math that's wrong? I can't think of anything more to try, and would be helpful if someone could point me in the right direction.
Your worldSpaceBoundingSphereRadius() is most likely the culprit. arbitraryVertex is a Vector of (1,1,1) so your math will only work if the cube model has edges of length 2 * sqrt(1/3). What you want to do is find the exact length of your cube's model's edge, use the formula from my comment (rad = sqrt( 3 * (x/2) * (x/2) )) and use that radius for your arbitraryVertex (rad,rad,rad,1).
Also, your dividing the results of your multiplication by the homogenous coordinate (worldSpaceVector[0]/worldSpaceVector[3]). With a proper rotation, translation, or scale, the homogenous coordinate should always be exactly 1 (if it started as one). If it isn't, you might have a projection matrix in there or something else that isn't a basic transformation.
EDIT:
Since you're using worldSpaceBoundingSphereRadius() to get only the radius, you want only the scaling component of getModelMatrix(). If that returns scaling and translation, this translation will apply to your radius and make it much larger than it actually is.

Applying map of the earth texture a Sphere

create your own sphere mesh
simple 2D loop through 2 angles (spherical coordinate system 2 Cartesian). You can easily add ellipsoid properties (earth is not a sphere) if you want more precision. If not then you can use single sphere mesh for all planets and just scale it before use ...
let a be the longitude and b the latitude so loop a from 0 to 2*PI [rad] and b from -0.5*PI to +0.5*PI [rad] where PI=3.1415... is the Pi (in C++ math.h it is called M_PI). If your math api uses degrees then convert to degrees PI [rad] = 180.0 [deg]
add necessary info per vertex
normals for lighting
// just unit sphere
nx=cos(b)*cos(a);
ny=cos(b)*sin(a);
nz=sin(b);
texture coordinate (assuming rectangle non distorted image)
// just convert a,b to <0,1> range
tx=a/(2.0*PI)
ty=(b/PI)+0.5;
vertex position
// just sphere(rx=ry=rz=r) or ellipsoid (rx=ry=equatorial and rz=polar radius)
// can also use rx*nx,ry*ny,rz*nz instead ...
x=rx*cos(b)*cos(a);
y=ry*cos(b)*sin(a);
z=rz*sin(b);
send all of this to OpenGL
so all above store in some memory space (CPU or GPU) and then send to rendering. You can use legacy glBegin(QUAD_STRIP); ... glEnd(); or displaylist/VBO/VAO. Bind the right texture before each planet/body and do not forget to update ModelView matrix too. This is how mine coordinate systems looks like:

I know its ugly but it does not use any funny stuff just legacy OpenGL and Math.h (cos(),sin(),M_PI) and VCL for bitmap loading. So rewrite to your environment and you will be fine. Do not forget that each planet has its own texture so you need to have one txrid per planet so either have each planet as separate planet variable or rewrite ...

LWJGL 3D Movement messed up

I am attempting to create a 3D game using solely LWJGL and Slick-util, and I intend for it to be a first-person game, so I need a way to navigate the map using 3D movement. I have a position Vector3f and another vector acc to store acceleration. I have set up the following methods, all bound (in another class) to W, A, S, and D:
public void walkForward()
{
acc.x += walkSpeed * (float) Math.sin(Math.toRadians(yaw)); // Calculations for 3D Movement (please correct me if wrong)
acc.z -= walkSpeed * (float) Math.cos(Math.toRadians(yaw));
}
public void walkBackward()
{
acc.x -= walkSpeed * (float) Math.sin(Math.toRadians(yaw));
acc.z += walkSpeed * (float) Math.cos(Math.toRadians(yaw));
}
public void strafeLeft()
{
acc.x += walkSpeed * (float) Math.sin(Math.toRadians(yaw - 90));
acc.z -= walkSpeed * (float) Math.cos(Math.toRadians(yaw - 90));
}
public void strafeRight()
{
acc.x += walkSpeed * (float) Math.sin(Math.toRadians(yaw + 90));
acc.z -= walkSpeed * (float) Math.cos(Math.toRadians(yaw + 90));
}
Where walkSpeed is a positive float. Also, in my move() method, where movement is actually processed, I have the following:
void move()
{
acc.y = 0.0f; // Keep the player's height stable, for testing purposes.
getPosition().x += acc.x; // Add current velocity to the position.
getPosition().y += acc.y;
getPosition().z += acc.z;
if(acc.x > 0.0f) // Gradually bring player's velocity to 0.
acc.x -= 0.01f;
else if(acc.x < 0.0f)
acc.x += 0.01f;
if(acc.y > 0.0f)
acc.y -= 0.01f;
else if(acc.y < 0.0f)
acc.y += 0.01f;
if(acc.z > 0.0f)
acc.z -= 0.01f;
else if(acc.z < 0.0f)
acc.z += 0.01f;
}
Finally, in the render() method, where transformations are actually made to the game, I have this:
public void render()
{
move();
glRotatef(pitch, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
glRotatef(yaw, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
glTranslatef(-position.x, -position.y, -position.z);
}
Expected result: Ordinary 3D movement, proper directional motion, etc.
Actual result: Player moves in general direction, speed changes based on both yaw and pitch, releasing all keys (debugging confirms that NO input is being received to the walk() methods causes jittering and strange movement in random directions, whose speed changes based on both yaw and pitch, holding both W + A or W + D causes a massive increase in horizontal speed, etc.
I have a feeling this could be due to missing a pop or push in the matrix, or forgetting to init the identity somewhere. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Methods that manipulate the legacy OpenGL matrix stack, like glRotatef() and glTranslatef(), concatenate the specified transformation with the transformation that is currently on the matrix stack. Since you never reset/restore the transformation, you just keep concatenating more transformations every time render() is called.
To avoid this, you can either reset the transformation before starting to apply the current transformation:
glLoadIdentity();
glRotatef(pitch, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
glRotatef(yaw, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
glTranslatef(-position.x, -position.y, -position.z);
or save the previous matrix at the start, and restore it at the end:
glPushMatrix();
glRotatef(pitch, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
glRotatef(yaw, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
glTranslatef(-position.x, -position.y, -position.z);
glPopMatrix();
The second approach has the advantage that it will work correctly if you already had a matrix on the stack (e.g. a view transformation) that you also want to apply, while the first one resets all previous transformations.
Also note that transformations are applied to vertices in the reverse order of being specified. So your transformation sequence will first translate the vertices, then apply the yaw rotation, then the pitch rotation. If that's what you want, it's all good. Otherwise, you'll need to reverse the order.

JoGL not drawing within a loop

I have working on an OBJ model loader in JoGL for a few days, and can obtain the vertices in the array draw: draw[face][vertex][x,y,z,or w] I have tried several ways to render this array (i.e. VBO's) but none have worked so far. I decided to attempt to render the face within a loop, however, when I run the program nothing is rendered. Here is my code:
for(int i = 0; i < draw.length; i++){
gl.glBegin(GL.GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP);
//start drawing
for(int i2=0;i2<draw[i].length;i2++){
float[] xyzw = new float[4];
//grab all the vertex values
for(int i3=0; i3<draw[i][i2].length;i3++){
xyzw[i3]=draw[i][i2][i3];
}
gl.glColor3f(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); // Set the current drawing color to red
gl.glVertex3f(xyzw[0], xyzw[1], xyzw[2]);
}
gl.glEnd();
}
The peculiar thing is if I do this:
for(int i = 0; i < draw.length; i++){
gl.glBegin(GL.GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP);
//start drawing
for(int i2=0;i2<draw[i].length;i2++){
float[] xyzw = new float[4];
//grab all the vertex values
for(int i3=0; i3<draw[i][i2].length;i3++){
xyzw[i3]=draw[i][i2][i3];
}
gl.glColor3f(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); // Set the current drawing color to red
gl.glVertex3f(xyzw[0], xyzw[1], xyzw[2]);
gl.glVertex3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); // Top
gl.glColor3f(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f); // Set the current drawing color to green
gl.glVertex3f(1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f); // Bottom Left
gl.glColor3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f); // Set the current drawing color to blue
gl.glVertex3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f); // Bottom Right
}
gl.glEnd();
}
then I get a contorted shape, however without those extraneous vertices nothing is rendered.
Your problem is the :
float[] xyzw = new float[4];
this array should be in the out of the loop, because this array by every iteration initial and filled.
for solving your problem must create this array in out of the loop:
float[][] xyzw = new float[x][4];
x is the number of your vertexes,

OpenGL Mouse Input

I have this mouse function in my OpenGL program:
public void mouseInput(){
int mouseX = Mouse.getX();
int mouseY = 600 - Mouse.getY();
int mouseDX = 0, mouseDY = 0;
int lastX = 0, lastY = 0;
mouseDX = mouseX - lastX;
mouseDY = mouseY - lastY;
lastX = mouseX;
lastY = mouseY;
xrot += (float) mouseDX;
yrot += (float) mouseDY;
}
I rotate the "camera" using this code:
glRotatef(xrot, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
glRotatef(yrot, 0.f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
And I call the mouseInput() function in the !DisplayIsClosedRequested loop. Currently this causes my game to freak out and my camera rotates all over the place even without me touching the mouse. The cubes I have rendered out also move around the screen randomely. I am using LWJGL, so I cant use any glut functions like glutPassiveMotionFunc(). Can anyone offer help? Basically in summary, my camera is very jerky and rotates the camera in random patterns very fast.
If the camera is rotating even when you are not touching the mouse, you are probably applying the rotation over and over again. You could reset the camera view matrix first (glLoadIdentity() in OpenGL 2 fixed-functionality), every frame, and then apply the rotation. That way you will only rotate from a fixed reference point every frame, instead of the last reference point which was the result of a rotation from a previous frame.
