Hi Michael, the example for big points in Ogre like this:
to use a points wich have the dimension of 20 ( I think it is 20 X 20 not sure)
save the following material script to Examples\3D\Data\Scripts :
Points20.material :

Code: Select all

material def_Points_20
{
   receive_shadows off
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         point_size 20
         lighting off
         diffuse vertexcolour
      }
   }
}

then save the following code to Examples\3D :

Code: Select all

Enumeration
   #MESH
   #LIGHT
   #CAMERA_ONE
   #BUTTON
   #mainwin
 EndEnumeration
 
Quit.b = #False

  Event = WindowEvent()

   RotateNode(Stars, x, y, z)
   
   RenderWorld()
   FlipBuffers()

  ExamineKeyboard()
    
  Until Quit = #True Or Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
  

there is also possible to texture the big point (point sprite) by adding point_sprites on to the material script file and assigning a texture to it
the material script in this case can be like this:

Code: Select all

material PointsSprites
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         scene_blend alpha_blend
         lighting off
         
         diffuse 1 1 1 1
         ambient 1 1 1 1
         specular 1 1 1 1
         emissive 1 1 1 1
         
         point_sprites on
         point_size 20
         //point_size_min 2.0
         //point_size_max 256.0
         
         depth_write off
         depth_check on
         
         depth_func less_equal
         
         //point_size_attenuation on 1.0 0.0 3.5
         
         texture_unit
         {
            filtering anisotropic
            max_anisotropy 16
            texture flare.png
         }
      }
   }
}

in fact i know about point sprites for the first time just yesterday when IdeasVacuum asked about it m and i have answered with an example here:
http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 36&t=53605
i have refered there also to your example about point sprites in MP3D. i have to study it.

Hello,

@IdeasVacuum , i have test the orthographic view mode with mp3d and it works fine. I have create a optional flag.f command for the Camera
MP_CreateCamera([Flag.f])
if flag = orthographic view mode activated, flag.f is the parameter of the the size of the view

@applePi
Do you think these function is important? I habe create a optional Size.f command for the
MP_SetPrimitives(Entity, Vertex, x.f, y.f, z.f, Color [,Size.f])
. These funtion works only with the PointPrimitives, not for the other primitives

i will make an new lib in some hours for testing

Greetings Michael

[applePi]

Hi Michael, not so important, but for the MP3D to be side by side with other 3D engines. sometimes it is usefull to display a little thicker points to make it more clear to the eyes.
you suggest this syntax:
MP_SetPrimitives(Entity, Vertex, x.f, y.f, z.f, Color [,Size.f])
yes it is great.
in Ogre i think i can't specify different point sizes to the same mesh.
i read somewhere that it is not possible, you either specify point size A or Point size B in the material script.
but if you can do this ie different point sizes inside the same mesh will be great, as an example we can plot prime number as a big point and the composite number as small. but if it is not possible in Direct 3D then it is enough to be like Ogre is.
the importance of MP3D is that its syntax are fixed and it can be used with any version of PB.

[mpz]

Hi,

i added a new alpha made with pb 5.10 in the mp3d forum. But there are much changing in the struktures and bug in Tailbite. Have no time to test all, but hope it works...

Greetings Michael

Hi Michael
i have tested the points and points sizes, it is very great and unique to MP3D Library to be able to select the size of the point any time during calculations.
here is a demo which show a prime numbers spiral , if the number is prime color is green and point size is 3, if not color is red and point size is 1
press space to stop rotation, z/x to zoom in/out . i will test the other features
thank you very much

Hello applePi,

you make all times nice demos for mp3d.

Much thanks

Hello mpz

i added a new alpha made with pb 5.10 in the mp3d forum

Sorry for being ignorant, but is it the downloads on the first page of this post in this forum, or an external forum somewhere?

Hi,

here it comes

Wow, quick response and it's already tomorrow in your location! You are working late (me too). Thanks Michael

[IdeasVacuum]

...ah, looks like there are some other up-to-date files necessary to try the Alpha32 lib. I tried installing Alpha31(for PB4.61) and then overwriting the lib file with the latest from the forum, but it fails with:
Camera01 = MP_CreateCamera(100)
[COMPILER] Line 523: MP_CreateCamera(): Incorrect number of parameters

I think I'm going to have other troubles anyway, as I'm using a WindowedScreen - it has system issues using DX9 but is fine with OpenGL.

[mpz]

Hello IdeasVacuum,

i have tested the new file from the forum and it works....


1) Install the MP_31 (x86) version.
2) get the http://www.flasharts.de/mpz/x86/MP3D_Library.zip zip file. unzip the file and replace the MP3D_Library file in the
C:\Programme\PureBasic\SubSystems\DX9\purelibraries\userlibraries\
or for x64 Systems
C:\Programme(x86)\PureBasic\SubSystems\DX9\purelibraries\userlibraries\
3) Restart Purebasic

If the error message "MP_CreateCamera(): Incorrect number of parameters" appears the MP3D_Library was not changed, you use the old one...

Greetings Michael

[IdeasVacuum]

ah, I was putting it in C:\Program Files\PureBasic\PureLibraries\UserLibraries - doh!

Edit: Still no luck, from the debug:
Camera01 = MP_CreateCamera(100)
[ERROR] Invalid memory access. (write error at address 8 )

I'm using WinXP SP3 x86. Set the Compiler to DX9 (Using Unicode, in-line ASM, thread safe, XP skin support)

Not to worry for now, the app is working for my purposes and I will come back to the code later when it needs to go out to customers.

Edit Edit: I understand now - much more MP3D needs to be used, for example in this case MP3D's own MP_Graphics3DWindow(). Massive lib, fantastic work!

[applePi]

note: this example needs version Alpha 32 of the library, look Michael instructions above how to install it
a proof about the importance of the new additions to MP_SetPrimitives function regarding the points plotting: here we will plot a 3D knot. but if we plot it in the same color we will not be able to see if its really a knot or not and which rope goes over or behind the other. also making parts of the knot thicker or thinner we can easily discriminate its strucure .
and thanks for Michael for enabling us to reposition a certain vertex to another position, this is because every vertex have a number and we access it by that number, we can cut this knot this way in half.

Don't worry: here you have this one compiled, it should work, just run it and compare:

Hello Psychophanta,

nice speedcheck but you must check two same functions . I have changed the structure of the point mesh to make all point sizeabel. With an older lib the mp3d code works as fast as the DM code, but the point size is not sizeabel. In my opinion the DM_CreateLine has not sizeable points too. The question is: sizeable points or more speed without them or two different primitives one with and one without sizeabel points ?!?!

Possible solution, a flag for sizeable points: MP_CreatePrimitives (VertexCount, Modus[,Flag]) ; Flag = 1, Sizeable points...

or a new Modus for sizeable Points , MP_CreatePrimitives (VertexCount, Modus); Mode = 7 sizeable Points

Greetings Michael
