i am trying to do a morph effect, so that objects will smoothly cycle
between geometries. i used the pfMorph class as in the morph.c example,
and i want to load two models and morph between them. i create two
models with the same number of polygons and verteces, but i still have a
problem:
the polygons are being optimized by the loader, so that even if one vert
is different, i get a different order of the polygons (which makes the
morph look pretty strange).
i tried to change my loader to do:
pfdBldrMode(PFDBLDR_MESH_RETESSELLATE,FALSE);
but it doen't seem to do anything.
also i'm not sure which order the normals appear. they go by unique
vertex. is there an easy way to deal with them? (finding number of
normals and matching to verts).
am i doing the morphing the right way? or is there a better way of doing
it?
thank,
