Hi
i had done the curve using opengl
and now
i am try to do something on surface
i had worked on the surface and yes surface is maded but weak point is i do the job on already coded c/cpp file (Mesa’s demos package)
and
i the code of doubt are here
plate’s point don take it as plate
GLfloat platepoint[2][3] = { {-1.0f,-1.0f,-1.0f},
{1.0f,-1.0f,0.0f}
};
Knots ???
GLfloat Knots[8] = {0.0f,0.0f,0.0f,0.0f,1.0f,1.0f,1.0f,1.0f};
and
the glu’s Non uniform rational B-splines
gluBeginSurface(mnurb);
gluNurbsSurface (mnurb, 8, Knots, 8, Knots, 4, 4, &platepoint[0][0], 4, 4, GL_MAP2_VERTEX_3);
gluEndSurface(mnurb);
glPopMatrix();
Q i had readed documention of these gluNurbsSurface
but they cant tell why we take address of platepoint[0][0]
Q how knots/platepoint work togather
Q is u, v direction mean x/y direction
Q difference B/w gluNurbs and glMap functions(not parameters)
please
it is really imp Q for me
Q how to make surface as we made in mind(these curve i can made up to some points as i assumed but damm how surface work)
thanks and its in advanced $$$$
