Bounding Box Calculation

PowerVR Insider

Hello,


I’m using POD Models in my iOS Open GL ES 2.0 engine thanks to your PVRTools parser. I want to know the xMin, xMax, yMin, yMax, zMin, zMax of my models to build some kind of bounding box. But I can’t get this to work and I don’t know why. Here is my code :















-(void) findCenter


{


    float xMin = 0.0f;


    float yMin = 0.0f;


    float zMin = 0.0f;


    float xMax = 0.0f;


    float yMax = 0.0f;


    float zMax = 0.0f;


    for (unsigned int i = 0; i < _scene->nNumMesh; ++i)


    {


        SPODMesh* pMesh = &_scene->pMesh;


        for(unsigned int j = 0; j < (pMesh->nNumVertex - pMesh->sVertex.nStride); j+=pMesh->sVertex.nStride)


        {


            if(pMesh->sVertex.pData[j] < xMin) xMin = pMesh->sVertex.pData[j];


            else if(pMesh->sVertex.pData[j] > xMax) xMax = pMesh->sVertex.pData[j];


            


            if(pMesh->sVertex.pData[j+1] < yMin) yMin = pMesh->sVertex.pData[j+1];


            else if(pMesh->sVertex.pData[j+1] > yMax) yMax = pMesh->sVertex.pData[j+1];


            


            if(pMesh->sVertex.pData[j+2] < zMin) zMin = pMesh->sVertex.pData[j+2];


            else if(pMesh->sVertex.pData[j+2] > zMax) zMax = pMesh->sVertex.pData[j+2];


        }


    }


    _center.x = (xMax - xMin) / 2;


    _center.y = (yMax - yMin) / 2;


    _center.z = (zMax - zMin) / 2;


}

_scene represents my CPVRTModelPOD and I'm trying to find through each mesh my min and max values.


Can you tell me what's wrong with this ?

Take a look at either of these PVRTools functions:

PVRTBoundingBoxCompute()
PVRTBoundingBoxComputeInterleaved()

The code of the calculation of a center of the bounding box is correct, you can try to fix a code:

for (unsigned int i = 0; i < _scene->nNumMesh; ++i)

 {

SPODMesh* pMesh = &_scene->pMesh;

  for(unsigned int j = 0; j < pMesh->nNumVertex; ++j)

{

if(pMesh->sVertex.pData[j] < xMin) xMin = pMesh->sVertex.pData[j];

else if(pMesh->sVertex.pData[j] > xMax) xMax = pMesh->sVertex.pData[j];

}

 _center.x = (xMax - xMin) / 2;

 _center.y = (yMax - yMin) / 2;

 _center.z = (zMax - zMin) / 2;

}
