Applying a texture to a sphere

mnoble

I'm attempting a simple tutorial that I found online on 3d shape texturing, but when I run the program, all I get is a black screen. This is my code:

PImage earth;
PShape globe;

void setup(){
  size(600,600,P3D);
  background(0);
  earth = loadImage("earth.jpg");
}

void draw(){
  translate(width/2,height/2);
  globe = createShape(SPHERE,50);
  globe.setTexture(earth);
}

Am I making a mistake, or is it just that my version of processing is outdated (I am running 2.1.2)? Help of any sort would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Ha! Fantastic failure! You're going to love this.

Last chance to try to work it out yourself...

Ok... here's the answer...

When are you drawing your shape?

PImage earth; 
PShape globe;

void setup() { 
  size(600, 600, P3D); 
  background(0); 
  String http = "http://"
  earth = loadImage( http + "previewcf.turbosquid.com/Preview/2014/08/01__15_41_30/Earth.JPG5a55ca7f-1d7c-41d7-b161-80501e00d095Larger.jpg");
  globe = createShape(SPHERE, 200); 
  globe.setTexture(earth);
  noStroke();
}

void draw() { 
  translate(width/2, height/2); 
  shape(globe);
}

Does the size of the image that you're loading matter?

you have to test it....

I think it should matter
