Fur texture appears coarsely on Bunny

Question

I wrote this code to apply texture to the bunny model provided in ply format. Bunny gets drawn with the texture, but instead of looking like fur, the texture looks like coarse points.

void GLRenderer::paintGL()
{
    // Set light
    GLfloat light_position[] = { lightPositionX, lightPositionY, lightPositionZ, 0.0 };
    glHint(GL_POLYGON_SMOOTH_HINT, GL_NICEST);
    glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);

    // Enabling texture
    glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
    glTexEnvf(GL_TEXTURE_ENV, GL_TEXTURE_ENV_MODE, GL_MODULATE);

    bindTexture(QImage("fur4.bmp"));

    glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
    glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);

    glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_REPEAT);
    glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_REPEAT);

    glEnable(GL_NORMALIZE);
    glLoadIdentity();

    glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES);

        for( int i = 0 ; i < objPLYParser.g_vpX.size() ; i+=3 )
        {
                float vector1[3], vector2[3], vCross[3], normalizationValue;
                vector1[0] = objPLYParser.g_vpX[i] - objPLYParser.g_vpX[i+1];
                vector1[1] = objPLYParser.g_vpY[i] - objPLYParser.g_vpY[i+1];
                vector1[2] = objPLYParser.g_vpZ[i] - objPLYParser.g_vpZ[i+1];

                vector2[0] = objPLYParser.g_vpX[i] - objPLYParser.g_vpX[i+2];
                vector2[1] = objPLYParser.g_vpY[i] - objPLYParser.g_vpY[i+2];
                vector2[2] = objPLYParser.g_vpZ[i] - objPLYParser.g_vpZ[i+2];

                // Cross product
                vCross[0] = vector1[1] * vector2[2] - vector2[1] * vector1[2];
                vCross[1] = vector2[0] * vector1[2] - vector1[0] * vector2[2];
                vCross[2] = vector1[0] * vector2[1] - vector2[0] * vector1[1];

                // Value to do normalization with
                normalizationValue = sqrt( vCross[0]*vCross[0] + vCross[1]*vCross[1] + vCross[2]*vCross[2] );

                 float normal[3];
                 normal[0] = vCross[0]/normalizationValue;
                 normal[1] = vCross[1]/normalizationValue;
                 normal[2] = vCross[2]/normalizationValue;

                 glNormal3f(normal[0],normal[1],normal[2]);

            glTexCoord2f(0.0, 0.0);
            glVertex3f(objPLYParser.g_vpX[i],objPLYParser.g_vpY[i],objPLYParser.g_vpZ[i]);

            glTexCoord2f( 1.0,0.0);
            glVertex3f(objPLYParser.g_vpX[i+1],objPLYParser.g_vpY[i+1],objPLYParser.g_vpZ[i+1]);

            glTexCoord2f(1.0, 1.0);
            glVertex3f(objPLYParser.g_vpX[i+2],objPLYParser.g_vpY[i+2],objPLYParser.g_vpZ[i+2]);
        }


    glEnd();
    glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
}

Texture files i tried :

Output I got :

Any suggestions what I might be doing wrong here ?

Answer 1

In these lines:

glTexCoord2f(0.0, 0.0);
...

glTexCoord2f( 1.0,0.0);
...

glTexCoord2f(1.0, 1.0);
...

You supply texture coordinates which map half the entire texture to every individual triangle. What you're seeing is the whole fur texture tiled densely over the mesh.

You need to supply better texture coordinates.

Answer 2

For a start you can use a simple object space mapping, for example for a (x, y, z) vertex you could use (x*scale, (y+z)*scale) texture coordinates. You can then tweak scale.
