I have read the solution to the issue and I was also in the process of learning how to make 3D's. I checked the code and will be trying this one out. I hope you don't mind. Thanks a lot!

help in building a color lookup table

ofcourse i dont mind, ima glad.
By the way there are a few limitations you need to be aware of.
First the smallest values for meridians and parallels are 2 both, which makes sense since its not possible to draw a sphere any simpler than that. With 2,2 values, you get a double tetrahedron. The max values are about 180, 180, which makes a pretty detailed sphere, and ALOT of triangles, so it cripples the framerate. This is due to float precision, it can be solved in certain ways, but i doubt you will need a sphere that detailed.
Anyway, have fun.

hello,

i'm new to openGL, and i'm trying to build a color lookup table of size 265

is there any thing wrong in my code?? Confused | :confused:

// i define the array in header
GLfloat color_table[256][4];

void BuildColorLookUpTable()
{
for(INT i = 0; i < 256; i++)
{
GLfloat red=i/255;
GLfloat green=0;
GLfloat blue=1-i/255;

color_table[i][0] = 0;
color_table[i][0] = red;
color_table[i][0] = green;
color_table[i][0] = blue;

glutSetColor(i, red, green, blue);
}
}

also, can anyone pls give me some guides D'Oh! | :doh:

thanks

How is your code acting versus what you expected?

Also, you might ask yourself what i/255 computes to? Smile | :)

i used i/255 to compute the red value,i didn't test my program yet

but my question was is this enough to build the lookup table or I should use
some gl commands to enable the index color mode??

can i use now glindex()??

thanks

I never used Glut when I was playing with OpenGL but it appears like if you're in color index mode that should setup the table. There might even be a default table already there. I'm not sure why you're maintaining the array of colors, when you can access Glut's color table once you've set it.

You're trying to setup up the table with green a constant zero. Red varying linearly from zero to one and blue being one minus red. However, the reason I asked you to think about what i/255 evaluates to means that's not what you're going to get. Your color table will be considerably more boring.

thanks, i solved the problem of th table

but i have another question pls
i implement this function to render the face normal of the mesh but when i debug
i found that the program doesn't enter the loop at all and i get this in the watch of the debug when
i type i: i CXX0017: Error: symbol "i" not found

inline void CMesh::RenderFaceNormals()
{
float t=0.5;
CVector v0,v1;

for(int i=0 ; i<get_numoffaces();i++)
{
="" v0="(verts[faces[i]-">get_v0()]->get_gp()+ verts[faces[i]->get_v1()]->get_gp()+ verts[faces[i]->get_v2()]->get_gp() )/3;
v1 = t * faces[i]->get_normal();

glBegin(GL_LINES);
glVertex3f(v0.X(), v0.Y(), v0.Z()); // origin of the line
glVertex3f(v1.X(), v1.Y(), v1.Z()); // ending point of the line
glEnd();
}
}

it seems that my program doesn't see i??
can anyone help me?? Cry | :((

As written above, I'm not sure how this compiled. Your for loop is malformed by missing the closing parenthesis at the very least and the second semicolon.

No i'm sure there is no syntax errors, the error in the loop header only appear when i copy
from my program

anyone have solutions for my problem????

inline  void CMesh::RenderFaceNormals()<br />
{<br />
	float t=0.5;<br />
	CVector v0,v1;<br />
	<br />
	for(int i=0 ; i< get_numOfFaces() ;i++)<br />
	{<br />
		v0 = (verts[faces[i]->get_v0()]->get_gp()+ verts[faces[i]->get_v1()]->get_gp()+ verts[faces[i]->get_v2()]->get_gp() )/3;<br />
		v1 = t * faces[i]->get_normal();<br />
<br />
		glBegin(GL_LINES);<br />
        glVertex3f(v0.X(), v0.Y(), v0.Z()); // origin of the line<br />
        glVertex3f(v1.X(), v1.Y(), v1.Z()); // ending point of the line<br />
        glEnd();<br />
	}<br />
}

What compiler and version are you using?

Then it should be ok with defining the loop variable inside the for header. But to determine if something else is causing a side effect, try this:

int i;
for (i = 0 ; whatever your condition was ; i++)
{
your stuff
}

Thanks Tim very much for ur help

i solve the problem, the problem was that my project was in release mode so i changed it now to debuge mode and it works well

i really appreciate your help Rose | [Rose]

I'm not sure how switching to debug compile from release "fixes" the problem. Usually then that happens, you have a problem with unitialized memory that debug mode automatically sets to zero or you're using something like an assert macro that is compiled out in release mode and leaves a hole in your code but lets debug mode work.
