CubicVR MAC

[Emre Eldemir]

I'm trying to make cubic VR like http://www.deansdirectortutorials.com/3D/CubicVR/
but on MAC, there are black lines on intersection of planes ( http://www.eldemir.net/cubicVR.jpg )

solution?

best regards.

Hi Emre,

Do have the statement setting the shader textureRepeat to 0 ?

That's one thing I noticed smoothed the joins between textures.

Yes,

boxShaderList[side].textureRepeat = 0
boxShaderList[side].textureRepeatList[1] = true

do not use the #box primitive, do not set repeat to false

generate your own cube with the mesh generator

i'm 99% sure it'll correct the artefact
if it doesn't correct the artefact it's not a problem, as you genrate your own model you can control uvcoords and add a small margin (for example use 0.01 & 0.99 instead of 0 & 1)

Try add the statement below before the textureRepeat:
boxShaderList[side].textureTransform.scale(1.001,1.001,1.001)

-- Solution:

if the environment.platform contains "mac" then
      boxShaderList[side].textureTransform.position = vector(-1.001,-1.001,-1.001)
      boxShaderList[side].textureTransform.scale(1.002,1.002,1.002)

      boxShaderList[side].textureRepeatList[1] = true

else

      boxShaderList[side].textureRepeat = 0

end if


thank you everyone.

Hi Emre,

Glad you found a solution.

I don't know why you'd need

boxShaderList[side].textureRepeatList[1] = true

By making the scale slighly bigger that 1 (100%), you're not going to be repeating (i.e tiling) the texture on the face of the box.

I fixed code:
------------------------

if the environment.platform contains "mac" then

      boxShaderList[side].textureTransform.position = vector(-0.001,-0.001,-0.001)

      boxShaderList[side].textureTransform.scale(1.002,1.002,1.002)

else
      boxShaderList[side].textureRepeat = 0
end if

Just one other thing about 'textureRepeat' and textureRepeatList'.

textureRepeat - controls the first texture layer of a shader
textureRepeatList - controls any layer of a shader

textureRepeat = textureRepeatList[1]

By default, textureRepeat is TRUE

So, if you leave out textureRepeat, then it will be automatically = 1. And checking the help, it will always be = 1 when using #software renderer.
