Hi!
I have a project to do. I load a file of polygons with x,y and z points. I have to translate/rotate in the 3 axis. When I translate with z, it doesn’t look like it going closer or further (the graphic disappears and reappears). Also, when I rotate, the graphic is sometimes flat (a simple line). I am sure it has something to do when I create the window. I would appreciate any feedback (I am here to learn from you!)
The following is my code:
#include “package.h” // glut, math, stdio…
typedef struct // Structure For 3D Points
{
float x, y, z, vx, vy, vz; // X, Y & Z Points
} VERTEX; // Called VERTEX
typedef struct // Structure For An Object
{
int verts; // Number Of Vertices For The Object
float cR, cG, cB; // RGB color
VERTEX *p; // One Vertice (Vertex x,y,z, vx, vy & vz)
} OBJECT;
static int iChoice, nbPOLY, totalPOLY;
static int FKey=0, nbDraw;
static int nbGroup,nbPolygon,nbVertice, indexColor;
static float tx,ty,tz,tvx,tvy,tvz,tcR,tcG,tcB;
static float min, max, coef;
static float xrot,yrot,zrot, // X, Y & Z Rotation
cx=0,cy=0,cz=0; // X, Y & Z Position
OBJECT POLY[6000]; // Create an Array of OBJECT
bool loaded[7];
void objallocate(OBJECT k,int n) // Allocate Memory For Each Object
{ // And Defines points
k->p=(VERTEX)malloc(sizeof(VERTEX)*n); // Sets points Equal To VERTEX * Number Of Vertices
}// objallocate // (3 Points For Each Vertice)
void objfree(OBJECT *k) // Frees The Object (Releasing The Memory)
{
free(k->p); // Frees Points
}// objfree
void updatePOLY(int opt,OBJECT *k, int loop){
switch(opt){
case 0:
k->verts=nbVertice;
