Support / Environment reflection on a textured objects
« on: August 28, 2017, 01:33:51 pm »
Hi,

I managed so far to write couple of shaders for my model. Some of them add environment reflection to plain color element and it looks fine. I'm trying to find a way to to the same with textured elements.

Even this wasn't easy. I added environment texture to materials (.mtl) to make it accessible in fragment shader and found that an object loaded from .obj loses its color information from Kd field, that was available in color attribute. Color was got from (I guess) left top pixel of the texture. This color I had to hardcode in shaders and I could because I have distinct shader for every material that needs a non-different one.  I got to the point where I'd like to add a reflection to textured elements.

I open .obj and .mtl files in Java on PC to serialize it and use on Android. I decided to put my processing here to feed model's elements with additional data. I've extracted texture ID from elements to replace it with TextureInfo containing original texture and reflection texture. But as I could get texture using PolygonManager, I cannot find how can I get a vertex color. I think putting it in the additionalColor would preserve this color and I could have .mtl colored elements back.

But I cannot find how to extract from Object3D a Kd color from .mtl. How to preserve Kd color when a texture is added to an object?

At the moment of converting objects I don't know which ones will be reflective - this depends on their shaders in apk. So I'd add environment texture to all of them and remove the texture from map_Kd in .mtl. It's overfluous for sure (I know the map id is assigned to every polygon), but is there another way? Could I inject env map into the shaders in some other way?

Support / Transparency lost after deserialization
« on: August 21, 2017, 10:52:25 am »
Hi,

I used the DeSerializer to speed-up loading of the model I had in OBJ:

Code: [Select]
class SerializeEngine {
private Object3D[] objects;
private String sourceModelFileName;
private String sourceMaterialFileName;

SerializeEngine(final String obj, final String mtl) {
sourceModelFileName = obj;
sourceMaterialFileName = mtl;
}

int loadObj() throws IOException {
try (InputStream modelFile = new FileInputStream(sourceModelFileName);
InputStream materialsFile = new FileInputStream(sourceMaterialFileName)) {
objects = Loader.loadOBJ(modelFile, materialsFile, 1.0f);
for (Object3D o : objects)
o.build();
}
return objects.length;
}

String serialize() throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
if (null == objects) throw new NullPointerException("Object not loaded");
if (0 == objects.length) throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException("Object is empty");
int l = sourceModelFileName.lastIndexOf('.');
String destModelFileName = ((l <= 0) ? sourceModelFileName : sourceModelFileName.substring(0, l)) + ".j3d";
try (OutputStream dest = new FileOutputStream(destModelFileName)) {
(new DeSerializer()).serializeArray(objects, dest, true);
}
return destModelFileName;
}
}

Then, instead of slow loading from .obj:

Code: [Select]
elements = Loader.loadOBJ(modelStream, materialStream, 1.0f);
I loaded the model in Android from a serialized form:

Code: [Select]
elements = Loader.loadSerializedObjectArray(modelStream);
and got the model loaded in application in jus about one second. The dispalyed model looked fine except for transparent elements. They lost their transparency. Did I do something wrong or the transparency isn't written to/read from the serialized form? I was looking at the jPCT-AE DeSerializer's code and couldn't find any code related with transparency but It's hard to believe this information is just lost.

Support / Problem loading textures from ZIP - BitmapHelper closes file
« on: August 21, 2017, 09:09:12 am »
Hi

I'm using jPCT-AE. To load set of bitmaps I made a ZIP fie in raw resource folder. I'ts convenient and more space-efficient to load many textures from a ZipInputStream. When I change the model, i.e. in another flavor of the app it will still work event if I'll have completely different set of textures but the file will have the same name. Unfortunately, whenever I call the first new Texture(InputStream is) iterating through ZipEntries in ZipInputStream, the stream is being closed by the BitmapHelper that decodes the image data. In my opinion this is a bug.  Java's BitmapFactory.decodeStream doesnt't do that. Closing of the stream should be the responsibility of the caller, who opens the stream.

To workaround I found the following solution that works as long as I us textures in .png (and whatever else the BitmapFactory recognizes):

Code: [Select]
private void loadTexturesFromZip(final int resId) {
        ZipEntry txMetadata;
        TextureManager txMan = TextureManager.getInstance();
        try {
            // try-with-resources closes the file automatically when leaving its scope:
            try (ZipInputStream zipTx = new ZipInputStream(res.openRawResource(resId))) {
                while (null != (txMetadata = zipTx.getNextEntry())) {
                    String txName = txMetadata.getName();
                    if (!txMan.containsTexture(txName)) {
                        Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(), "Loading tx: " + txName);
                        Bitmap tx = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(zipTx);
                        if (null == tx) {
                            Log.e(getClass().getSimpleName(), "failed, bitmap is null");
                        } else {
                            txMan.addTexture(txName, new Texture(tx));
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e(getClass().getCanonicalName(), "Texture loading failed: " + e.toString());
        }
    }
