texture sphere : fastest way

Chrisir

hello all,

all the examples for texture spere are convuleted and old

what is the fastest way for a texture sphere in 3D please?

best, Chrisir ;-)

Fake it. ;)

String http = "http://";
PImage img = loadImage(http + "images.clipartpanda.com/sphere-clipart-sphere_Vector_Clipart.png");

void setup(){
  size(400,400,P3D);
  imageMode(CENTER);
}

void draw(){
  background(128);
  translate(width/2,height/2,0);
  rotateY(map(mouseX,0,width,-PI,PI));
  translate(100,0,0);
  rotateY(-map(mouseX,0,width,-PI,PI));
  image(img,0,0,200,200);
}

:)) :D

OK, old version - very long

new version - nice and lean :

https://www.processing.org/tutorials/pshape/

// 

PShape globe;

void setup() {
  size (1220, 677, OPENGL);
  background(0);

  PImage img;
  img = loadImage("test.jpg");

  globe = createShape(SPHERE, 50);
  globe.setStroke(false); 
  globe.setTexture(img);

  img=null;
}

void draw() {
  //
  background(0);
  translate(650, 300);

  rotateY(map(mouseX, 0, width, 0, TWO_PI));
  rotateX(map(mouseY, 0, height, 0, TWO_PI));

  shape(globe, 0, 0);
}
//

but thanks, TfGuy44

;-)

Chrisir

@tfguy44 can you answer so that I can close this ....

it still pops up here....

Thank you

TfGuy44

Huh? What are you asking me to do?

Chrisir

just what you just did... post here so I can mark your post as answer....

so that the forum stops telling me you have question that now have answers....

thanks, mate!

;-)
