Question

I'm using Ogre3D and PhysX.

When I load a terrain from an 8bit height map, it looks normal on Visual Debugger.

Look at first image: http://img44.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=44927650.jpg

But when I save the height map as a 16bit image, I get what you see on second image.

Here's the code, thats works normal with 8bit PNG:

    mSceneMgr->setWorldGeometry("terrain.cfg" );
    mTSM=static_cast<TerrainSceneManager*>(sceneMgr);

    TerrainOptions mTerrainOptions = mTSM->getOptions();

    //load heihgtmap
    Image mImage;
    mImage.load("isl_h_ph.png", ResourceGroupManager::getSingleton().getWorldResourceGroupName()); //load image

    //write image buffer to pOrigSrc 
    const uchar* pOrigSrc = mImage.getData();
    const uchar* pSrc;
    // image size to mPageSize
    size_t   mPageSize  = mTerrainOptions.pageSize;

    NxActorDesc ActorDesc;

    //set number of segments
    heightFieldDesc = new NxHeightFieldDesc;
    heightFieldDesc->nbColumns      = mPageSize;
    heightFieldDesc->nbRows         = mPageSize;
    heightFieldDesc->verticalExtent   = -1000; 
    heightFieldDesc->convexEdgeThreshold    = 0;

    heightFieldDesc->samples      = new NxU32[mPageSize*mPageSize];   //constructor for every sample?
    heightFieldDesc->sampleStride   = sizeof(NxU32);                    //some sample step = number of samples

    pSrc = pOrigSrc;
    char* currentByte = (char*)heightFieldDesc->samples;     //current sample mb?
    LogManager::getSingletonPtr()->logMessage("+++Heightmap---");
    for (NxU32 row = 0; row < mPageSize; row++)
    {
        for (NxU32 column = 0; column < mPageSize; column++)   //cycle around samples
        {
            pSrc = pOrigSrc + column*mPageSize +row;

            //NxReal s = NxReal(row) / NxReal(mPageSize);
            //NxReal t = NxReal(column) / NxReal(mPageSize);

            NxI16 height = (NxI32)(*pSrc++);
        NxU32 matrixOffset = (row % gMatrixSize) * gMatrixSize + (column % gMatrixSize);

            //LogManager::getSingletonPtr()->logMessage(Ogre::StringConverter::toString(height));
            NxHeightFieldSample* currentSample = (NxHeightFieldSample*)currentByte;
            currentSample->height = height;
        currentSample->materialIndex0 = gMatrix[matrixOffset][1];
        currentSample->materialIndex1 = gMatrix[matrixOffset][2];
        currentSample->tessFlag = gMatrix[matrixOffset][0];
            currentByte += heightFieldDesc->sampleStride;
        }
    }

    heightField = mScene->getPhysicsSDK().createHeightField(*heightFieldDesc);

    NxHeightFieldShapeDesc heightFieldShapeDesc;
    heightFieldShapeDesc.heightField   = heightField;
    heightFieldShapeDesc.shapeFlags      = NX_SF_FEATURE_INDICES | NX_SF_VISUALIZATION;
    heightFieldShapeDesc.group   = 1;
    heightFieldShapeDesc.heightScale   = 18.8f;//1 в Physx = 255 в огре
    heightFieldShapeDesc.rowScale      = mTerrainOptions.scale.x;
    heightFieldShapeDesc.columnScale   = mTerrainOptions.scale.z;
    heightFieldShapeDesc.meshFlags   = NX_MESH_SMOOTH_SPHERE_COLLISIONS;
    heightFieldShapeDesc.materialIndexHighBits = 0;
    heightFieldShapeDesc.holeMaterial = 2;
    ActorDesc.shapes.pushBack(&heightFieldShapeDesc);

What should I change to get 16bit or higher image loaded working?

P.S.: Sorry for bad English

Was it helpful?

Solution

Your pOrigSrc is a uchar, which is 8 bits, so you're not getting the correct offset when you do this:

pSrc = pOrigSrc + column*mPageSize +row;

You can fix this by first grabbing the stride of your image before your loops, something like this:

int imageStride = mImage.getBPP() / 8;

and then multiply your calculated offset by the stride, something like this:

pSrc = pOrigSrc + (column*mPageSize +row)*imageStride;

That should allow you to use both 8-bit and 16-bit height maps. PhysX only supports 16-bit height maps, so you can't go higher than that.

OTHER TIPS

All of the chars in your code need to now be shorts, and you need to traverse the file 2 bytes at a time, not 1. Because 8 bits is one byte (the size of a char or uchar), and 16 bits is two bytes, the size of a short or unsigned short.
