NAME

glodObjectXform - Tell GLOD to use the current OpenGL modelview and projection matrices when it performs view-dependent refinement.

C SPECIFICATION

void glodObjectXform(GLuint objectname, float m1[16], float m2[16], float m3[16])

PARAMETERS

objectname
The name of the object to bind to.

m1, m2, m3
A set of matrices to bind against, stored in OpenGL's column-major order. If you want to bind against fewer than 3 matrices, set the latter ones to NULL. The final transformation applied to objectname is the product [m1]x[m2]x[m3]. Keep in mind that in order for view-dependent refinement to work, a perspective matrix must be included somewhere in the input matrices.

DESCRIPTION

Adapation of objects in GLOD is done at a group level using the glodAdaptGroup() call. When you are adapting a group according to the screen-space size of objects, you must specify to GLOD the camera and current position of your object using homogenous matrices using either the glodBindObjectXform() or glodObjectXform() calls.

Either function can be called at any point after loading or building an object. The bound transform will persist indefinitely across this GLOD session. It is not saved with a glodReadbackObject() .

Note that binding a transformation to an object does not actually move it during the glodDraw process. As always, the OpenGL rendering state is not changed by GLOD. It is up to you to set this same transformation before calling glodDrawPatch() to ensure the adaptation and the rendered position are consistent.

ERRORS

GLOD_INVALID_NAME is generated if an object of this objectname already exists.
GLOD_INVALID_STATE is generated if the object name has not been built or loaded.
