I’m new to opengl. I try to take a simple cuboid sample, squash it and strectch so it appears on the bottom left hand side of the screen. This is a solid object. I’m having problems achieving this. Can somebody post me some simple drawing code, please.
Manage to get the Vertices set up, is there any easier way to do this by hand?
Take the following code, this is a ‘airport runway’
Are there any code generators or even anything to manke this easy or do you guys out do this by hand?
// CODE START
float nYPoint = -1.6;
float nYHeight = 0.12;
float nXPoint = -1.4;
float nWidth = 3.4;
float fDist = 0.3;
// glRotatef(m_nRotate+=2,0.0,1.0,0.0);
glBegin(GL_QUADS); // Draw A Quad
glColor3f(0.9f,0.9f,0.9f);
glVertex3f( nXPoint, nYHeight + nYPoint,-fDist);
glVertex3f(nWidth + nXPoint, nYHeight + nYPoint,-fDist);
glVertex3f(nWidth + nXPoint, nYHeight + nYPoint, fDist);
glVertex3f( nXPoint, nYHeight + nYPoint, fDist);
glColor3f(0.5f,0.5f,0.5f);
glVertex3f( nXPoint, nYPoint,-fDist);
glVertex3f(nWidth + nXPoint, nYPoint,-fDist);
glVertex3f(nWidth + nXPoint, nYPoint, fDist);
glVertex3f( nXPoint, nYPoint, fDist);
glVertex3f( nXPoint, nYPoint ,-fDist);
glVertex3f(nWidth + nXPoint,nYPoint,-fDist);
glVertex3f(nWidth + nXPoint, nYHeight + nYPoint,-fDist);
glVertex3f( nXPoint,nYHeight + nYPoint,-fDist);
glVertex3f( nXPoint, nYPoint, fDist);
glVertex3f( nXPoint, nYPoint,-fDist);
glVertex3f( nXPoint,nYHeight + nYPoint,-fDist);
glVertex3f( nXPoint, nYHeight + nYPoint, fDist);
glVertex3f( nWidth + nXPoint, nYPoint, fDist);
glVertex3f( nWidth + nXPoint, nYPoint,-fDist);
glVertex3f( nWidth + nXPoint,nYHeight + nYPoint,-fDist);
glVertex3f( nWidth + nXPoint, nYHeight + nYPoint, fDist);
glVertex3f( nXPoint, nYPoint ,fDist);
glVertex3f(nWidth + nXPoint,nYPoint,fDist);
glVertex3f(nWidth + nXPoint, nYHeight + nYPoint,fDist);
glVertex3f( nXPoint,nYHeight + nYPoint,fDist);
glEnd(); // Done Drawing The Quad
// CODE START
There is a program’s out there that let you draw an object then export it to an opengl object. The output can be gl code of gl list code…
nehe.gamedev.net has a good program example of what I think you are looking for.
