I have been working on something that uses a projected texture type of idea
for quite a while now. It requires pfDraw() to be called twice in each
frame. Now I've got it all kind of working except for co-planar polygons
(and multiprocessing because changing the draw-mask doesn't seem to be
having any effect, but that's another problem!).
The first call to pfDraw() is really just there to get the zbuffer right,
and the second call is done using zfunction(ZF_EQUAL). Now for geometry
drawn with pfDecal() I have a problem.
If I use PFDECAL_BASE_DISPLACE, then the laters do not appear at all. What
I would expect to be happening is this:
- First call to pfDraw():
- Base geometry is drawn, with z=1 say.
- displacepolygon() is called.
- Layer geometry is draw, with z=1, but displacepolygon() offsets
this and makes it, say, z=2 instead (this avoids "Z-flickering").
- zfunction(ZF_EQUAL) is called.
- Second call to pfDraw():
- Base geometry is drawn, with z=1, exactly overwriting what was
there before, but leaving blank the sections where the layer
geometry was drawn (since here z==2).
- displacepolygon() is called.
- Layer geometry is draw, with z=1, but displacepolygon() offsets
this and makes it z=2 instead, exactly overwriting what was
previously rendered by the layer geometry.
However this is not what happens, since I do not see my layers at all. In
fact the base is rendered as if the layers were never drawn.
Please help, I'm going mad.
Rob.
PS. Has anyone else had problems with the draw-mask apparently not having
any effect in multiprocess mode when set from the APP after pfConfig()????
My CULL seems to still be using the old value ;-(
Thanks (I'm having a bad day).
