Hey Everyone, I am trying to do a highlighting action on the iPhone. I can draw lines an such with the finger but now I want to be able to highlight over that. Any algorithms out there you can point me to that does that? Using OpenGL ES off course. Thanks ...
In OpenGL ES, is there a way to check if a texture is currently bound, as to avoid the overhead of state changes in glBindTexture()? glAreTexturesResident() seems to be what I want, but it's not defined in iPhone's ES1/ES2 implementation. ...
I have iPhone (iPhoneOS 3.x) OpenGL ES app that: can be in landscape/portrait orientation can be with/without status bar shown I do this by changing status bar orientation and hidden state, then updating OpenGL view frame so it won't overlap status bar and setting projection matrix appropriately. OpenGL view is in portrait ori...
Hi Everyone, I am trying to figure out how to implement a simple "undo" of last drawing action on the iPhone screen. I draw by first preparing the frame buffer: [EAGLContext setCurrentContext:context]; glBindFramebufferOES(GL_FRAMEBUFFER_OES, viewFramebuffer); I then prepare the vertex array and draw this way: glVertexPointer(2, GL...
Hi Everyone, I am trying to implement an OpenGL eraser tool. I am struggling with this. I was thinking of painting somehow over the previous changes to "clear" out the changes. I can't use the background color because it is not a pattern, not one solid color. Can you point me to the right direction on how to implement an eraser tool...
I am building a 2d OpenGL es application For iPad it displays a background texture and numerous textures on top of it which are always in motion. Every frame their location is recalculated based on time delta and speed and the entire thing is being rendered at 60 fps successfully, but still as the movement speed of the sprites raises, t...
So, I've been trying to figure out why the square is moving up and down the iPhone simulator when I Build and Run the template that Apple provides for OpenGL ES. I don't understand why for example they have ES1Render.m, and ES2Render.m instead of just one ESRender.m. Also, where is the equivalent of the glutDisplayFunc, and glutTimerFunc...
Hi all, Please guide me that how i can add shadow to a uiimage in objective C. Regards Abdul Samad ...
I am executing the following, which I have derived from a few different tutorials (Just a single render pass, initialisation code not shown but works fine for untextured primitives): glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); glLoadIdentity(); glOrthof(0, xSize, 0, ySize, -1.0f, 1.0f); glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); glColor4f(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f); g...
I have been fighting a problem for a while now and would appreciate any help anybody could give. I have a sprite that moves within a landscape. The sprite remains in the center of the screen and the background moves to simulate that the sprite is moving within the landscape. I have split the landscape into sections so that I only draw t...
Hi, I want to make 3d games for the iphone and with all this doubt about Unity and Apples new sdk agreement I'm wondering what the best way forward is? A lot of people recommend opengl es and point me in the direction of the open gl es bible and likewise, the problem is none of this actually talk about setting a game up i.e loading a c...
I'm working on a drawing app where there's a lot of textured points. Just wondering if there's a speed difference between the two (i tried both and couldn't tell) Thanks ...
Is OpenGL ES really so much faster? Why? And is it really so horrible complicated to draw such simple things in OpenGL ES compared to drawing these in Quartz 2D? For example, I have a UIView subclass with -drawRect: implemented, where I draw some lines, curves and circles. Just simple paths, with some shadow. What would I do in OpenGL ...
All I want is really absolutely basic 2D drawing stuff e.g. rectangles, circles, paths, curves, béziers and so on. I don't need all the 3D model meshes with all this texturing and lighting. Is there a good learning resource for a fast startup programming just for fun? ...
It appears that glColorMaterial() is absent from OpenGL ES. According to this post (for iPhone), you may still enable GL_COLOR_MATERIAL in OpenGL ES 1.x, but you're stuck with the default settings of GL_FRONT_AND_BACK and GL_AMBIENT_AND_DIFFUSE that you would otherwise set with glColorMaterial(). I would be OK with this, but the diffuse...
Hey. I was wondering whether there is a way to detect a touch in an OpenGL rendered scene. What I have i a set of images which are being rendered in my main view. Now if the user touches one of these images (or objects) I would like to know which one was touched - similar to the CGRectContainsPoint(frame, [touch locationInView:self.vi...
I'm currently learning OpenGL ES programming on Android (2.1). I started with the obligatory rotating cube. It's rotating fine but I can't get the depth buffer to work. The polygons are always displayed in the order the GL commands render them. I do this during initialization of GL: gl.glClearColor(.5f, .5f, .5f, 1); gl.glShadeModel(GL1...
Im trying to create a spinning square inside of xcode using opengl but instead for some reason I have a spinning triangle? I'm doing this inside of sio2 but I dont think this is the problem. Here is the triangle: http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/7051/snapzproxscreensnapz001.png Here is my code: void templateRender( void ) { con...
I'm currently passing an array to a function, then attempting to use glGenBuffers with the array that is passed to the function. I can't figure out a way to get glGenBuffers to work with the array that I've passed. I have a decent grasp of the basics of pointers, but this is beyond me. Buffers are generated (and deleted) elsewhere. I ca...
I'm planning on learning 3d game development for the iphone using a 3d engine, but because of lack of tutorials for the iphone I was planning on using C++ game tutorials and making the necessary changes. The problem is that I've had limited success when searching for things such as 'c++ 3d fps tutorial ' I dont really get anything usefu...
