I’ve modified my code… In fact,the boxes are textured with a wood bitmap.
The code to initialise parameters:
void initGL(){
glLightfv(GL_LIGHT1, GL_AMBIENT, LightAmbient); // Setup The Ambient Light
//glLightfv(GL_LIGHT1, GL_DIFFUSE, LightDiffuse); // Setup The Diffuse Light
//glLightfv(GL_LIGHT1, GL_SPECULAR, LightSpecular); // Setup The Specular Light
//glLightfv(GL_LIGHT1, GL_POSITION, LightPosition); // Position The Light
glEnable(GL_LIGHT1); // Enable Light One
glShadeModel(GL_SMOOTH); // Enable Smooth Shading
glClearColor(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f,0.0f); // Black Background
glClearDepth(1.0f); // Depth Buffer Setup
glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); // Disable Depth Testing
glEnable(GL_BLEND); // Enable Blending
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA,GL_ONE); // Type Of Blending To Perform
glHint(GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT,GL_NICEST); // Really Nice Perspective Calculations
glHint(GL_POINT_SMOOTH_HINT,GL_NICEST); // Really Nice Point Smoothing
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D); // Enable Texture Mapping
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D,texture[9]); // Select Our Texture
for (loop=0;loop<MAX_PARTICLES;loop++) // Initials All The Textures
{
particle[loop].active=true; // Make All The Particles Active
particle[loop].life=1.0f; // Give All The Particles Full Life
particle[loop].fade=float(rand()%100)/1000.0f+0.003f; // Random Fade Speed
particle[loop].r=colors[loop*(12/MAX_PARTICLES)][0]; // Select Red Rainbow Color
particle[loop].g=colors[loop*(12/MAX_PARTICLES)][1]; // Select Red Rainbow Color
particle[loop].b=colors[loop*(12/MAX_PARTICLES)][2]; // Select Red Rainbow Color
particle[loop].xi=float((rand()%50)-26.0f)*10.0f; // Random Speed On X Axis
particle[loop].yi=float((rand()%50)-25.0f)*10.0f; // Random Speed On Y Axis
particle[loop].zi=float((rand()%50)-25.0f)*10.0f; // Random Speed On Z Axis
particle[loop].xg=0.0f; // Set Horizontal Pull To Zero
particle[loop].yg=0.8f; // Set Vertical Pull Downward
particle[loop].zg=0.0f; // Set Pull On Z Axis To Zero
}
}
The function to draw particles:
void DrawGLScene(void) // Here's Where We Do All The Drawing
{
for (loop=0;loop<MAX_PARTICLES;loop++) // Loop Through All The Particles
{
if (particle[loop].active) // If The Particle Is Active
{
float x=particle[loop].x; // Grab Our Particle X Position
float y=particle[loop].y; // Grab Our Particle Y Position
float z=particle[loop].z+zoom; // Particle Z Pos + Zoom
// Draw The Particle Using Our RGB Values, Fade The Particle Based On It's Life
glColor4f(particle[loop].r,particle[loop].g,particle[loop].b,particle[loop].life);
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP); // Build Quad From A Triangle Strip
glTexCoord2d(1,1); glVertex3f(x+0.5f,y+0.5f,z); // Top Right
glTexCoord2d(0,1); glVertex3f(x-0.5f,y+0.5f,z); // Top Left
glTexCoord2d(1,0); glVertex3f(x+0.5f,y-0.5f,z); // Bottom Right
glTexCoord2d(0,0); glVertex3f(x-0.5f,y-0.5f,z); // Bottom Left
glEnd(); // Done Building Triangle Strip
particle[loop].x+=particle[loop].xi/(slowdown*1000);// Move On The X Axis By X Speed
particle[loop].y+=particle[loop].yi/(slowdown*1000);// Move On The Y Axis By Y Speed
particle[loop].z+=particle[loop].zi/(slowdown*1000);// Move On The Z Axis By Z Speed
particle[loop].xi+=particle[loop].xg; // Take Pull On X Axis Into Account
particle[loop].yi+=particle[loop].yg; // Take Pull On Y Axis Into Account
particle[loop].zi+=particle[loop].zg; // Take Pull On Z Axis Into Account
particle[loop].life-=particle[loop].fade; // Reduce Particles Life By 'Fade'
if (particle[loop].life<0.0f) // If Particle Is Burned Out
{
particle[loop].life=1.0f; // Give It New Life
particle[loop].fade=float(rand()%100)/1000.0f+0.003f; // Random Fade Value
particle[loop].x=0.0f; // Center On X Axis
particle[loop].y=0.0f; // Center On Y Axis
particle[loop].z=0.0f; // Center On Z Axis
particle[loop].xi=xspeed+float((rand()%60)-32.0f); // X Axis Speed And Direction
particle[loop].yi=yspeed+float((rand()%60)-30.0f); // Y Axis Speed And Direction
particle[loop].zi=float((rand()%60)-30.0f); // Z Axis Speed And Direction
particle[loop].r=colors[col][0]; // Select Red From Color Table
particle[loop].g=colors[col][1]; // Select Green From Color Table
particle[loop].b=colors[col][2]; // Select Blue From Color Table
}
}
}
}
By the way,I have other codes that are using the blending properties. For example,the tree is a billboard.
