[Bf-committers] Re: A little Editface Question

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

I would sugest a new method. The set_wuv() is a horrible construction  
at the moment. Afaik, Johnny already solved copying pinning flags, seam  
flags, smooth flags, and so on.

What is needed now is a parametric solution for finding new UVs and  
vertexcolors based on an existing face and a 3d coordinate that lies  
within the plane of that face. That's basically just an interpolation  
function.

Code below was copied from render module, I didn't compile it! But it  
has the ingredients :)


/* input efa and co (vector */
/* output in TFace: uv (2 values) and vcol (4 char values) */
void set_uv_vcol(EditFace *efa, float *co, float *uv, char *col)
{
	
	/* define best projection of face XY, XZ or YZ */
		xn= fabs(efa->n[0]);
		yn= fabs(efa->n[1]);
		zn= fabs(efa->n[2]);
		if(zn>=xn && zn>=yn) {i= 0; j= 1;}
		else if(yn>=xn && yn>=zn) {i= 0; j= 2;}
		else {i= 1; j= 2;}

	/* calculate u and v */
		v1= efa->v1;
		v2= efa->v2;
  		v3= efa->v3;

		t00= v3->co[i]-v1->co[i]; t01= v3->co[j]-v1->co[j];
		t10= v3->co[i]-v2->co[i]; t11= v3->co[j]-v2->co[j];
			
		detsh= 1.0/(t00*t11-t10*t01);	/* potential danger */
		t00*= detsh; t01*=detsh;
		t10*=detsh; t11*=detsh;
		
		u= (co[i]-v3->co[i])*t11-(co[j]-v3->co[j])*t10;
		v= (co[j]-v3->co[j])*t00-(co[i]-v3->co[i])*t01;
	
	/* btw; u and v range from -1 to 0 */

	/* interpolate */
		l= 1.0+u+v;
		
		/* pseudocode!!! */
		/* just fill in colors or UV texture values here */

		new = l*vertex3_val - u*vertex1_val - v*vertex2_val;

}

OK... this now doesn't work yet, since we need to get it working for  
Quads.

That's a simple case as well;

	/* in other triangle */
	if(efa->v4 && l < 0.0) {
		/* do it all over, but now with vertex 2 replaced with 4 */

	}


So, would this work?
