NeHe lesson 5 problem.

Posted Thursday, 28 May, 2009 - 01:18 by enablerbr in

i couldn't work out how to take and save a screenshot from my app. so i've uploaded the program exe. the trouble is some of the faces seem to just dissapear. so instead of seeing a solid cube. you see the inside of a cube at times and other times you see the outside ot the cube. i'm not sure what is causing it. as i checked the code and it matches the NeHe code.

Check that normals are right (if used), and culling (front/back)
oop check you had zbuffer (depthbuffer) used.
But I think, there is some normals wrong.

heres the code.

private void glControl1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            GL.ShadeModel(ShadingModel.Smooth);							// Enable Smooth Shading
            GL.ClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.5f);				                        // Black Background

            GL.Enable(EnableCap.DepthTest);							    // Enables Depth Testing
            GL.DepthFunc(DepthFunction.Lequal);							// The Type Of Depth Testing To Do

            glControl1.SwapBuffers();
 
            glControl1.Invalidate();
        }

see i thought depthbuffer. yet i think that is covered in the glControl1_Load section.

Because you dont use normals, try

GL.Disable(EnableCap.CullFace);

if these faces shows then.

(this is just your test, i think, but when loading bigger objects, always load normals/calculate them so culling works (faster)).

GL.Disable(EnableCap.CullFace); had no effect.

solved my problem. it was do with where i was placing my code. moved my code from glControl1_Load to OnLoad. then it worked.
