Heightfield from raw problem ( *solved* )

Postby rogermr » Fri Oct 03, 2008 12:25 am

Hi!
I'm trying to create a heightfield using the Example08 and reading the info from a raw map.
So, here's the code for the new m_heightField initialization (it's all the same code, now just trying to read raw values)

Code: Select all
   char temp;
   std::ifstream inputFile("a.raw", std::ios::binary);
   // get length of file:
   inputFile.seekg (0, std::ios::end);
   int length = inputFile.tellg();
   inputFile.seekg (0, std::ios::beg);

   // determine the number of rows and cols
   int size = (int)sqrt((double)length);

   //read from file into vector
   for(int j=0;j<size; j++)
   {
      for (int i=0; i<size; i++)
      {
         inputFile.get(temp);
         m_heightField[j][i] = temp;
      }
   }


The raw file it's attached in the end, and it looks like this:

And the mesh created is:

As you can see, it looks like the mesh is correct, but on the borders, it does that strange effect, kind of making walls, like if there's too much (or to few) information... I'm not sure where the problem is.. as the code is exactly like in the example (just changing HEIGHT_SIZE to 500+1 to fit my raw).

Any advice will be helpful!

Thanks!

What data type is mheightField? Looks like you have chars - it should be unsigned short (16 bits).

I think it is actually SIGNED int 16.

Solved! Problem was the way Photoshop exports .raw files :( 8bit raw works great (or reading bmps!)

Thanks all!
