LibGDX splicing up texture file - libgdx

I have an image, which consists of blocks (32*32) and there is 1 row and 4 columns. How can I do, that when I load a texture, I only load one block and not all 4 of them?

Method 1)
Texture texture=new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("ui/logo2.png"));
Sprite sprite=new Sprite(texture);
sprite.setRegion(0, 0, 1f/4f, 1);//this loads the first block
sprite.setRegion(1f/4f, 0, 1f/4f+1f/4f, 1);//this loads the second block
sprite.setRegion((1f/4f)*2, 0, 1f/4f+(1f/4f)*2, 1);//this loads the third block
//on render
sprite.draw(theSpriteBatch);
Method 2)
Texture texture=new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("ui/logo2.png"));
TextureRegion[][] tmp = TextureRegion.split(texture, 32, 32);
Sprite sprite=new Sprite(tmp[0][0]);//first
Sprite sprite=new Sprite(tmp[0][1]);//second
Sprite sprite=new Sprite(tmp[0][2]);//third
//on render
sprite.draw(yourSpriteBatch);

Libgdx get texture from Texture Atlas with findRegion

I have this code
textureAtlas = TextureAtlas("atlas.atlas")
val box = textureAtlas.findRegion("box")
I want to create a texture with "box". Is it possible? box.texture return the original texture, not the regioned. Oh and I don't want to use Sprite and SpriteBatch. I need this in 3D, not 2D.
Thanks
TextureAtlas actually not separating pieces. When you get region from atlas its just saying that this is the area you gonna use (u,v,u2,v2) and this is original reference to whole texture.
This is why batch.draw(Texture) and batch.draw(TextureRegion) are not same in use.
However taking part of picture as texture is possible.
You can use pixmap to do it.
First generate pixmap from atlas texture. Then create new empty pixmap in size of "box" area you want. Then assign pixel arrays and generate texture from your new pixmap.
It may be quite expensive due to your Textureatlas size.
You can use framebuffer.
Create FBbuilder and build new frame buffer.Draw texture region to this buffer and get texture from it.
Problem here is the sizes of texture will be same as viewport/screen sizes.I guess you can create new camera to change it to sizes you want.
GLFrameBuffer.FrameBufferBuilder frameBufferBuilder = new GLFrameBuffer.FrameBufferBuilder(widthofBox, heightofBox);
frameBufferBuilder.addColorTextureAttachment(GL30.GL_RGBA8, GL30.GL_RGBA, GL30.GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE);
frameBuffer = frameBufferBuilder.build();
OrthographicCamera c = new OrthographicCamera(widthofBox, heightofBox);
c.up.set(0, 1, 0);
c.direction.set(0, 0, -1);
c.position.set(widthofBox / 2, heightofBox / 2, 0f);
c.update();
batch.setProjectionMatrix(c.combined);
frameBuffer.begin();
batch.begin();
batch.draw(boxregion...)
batch.end();
frameBuffer.end();
Texture texturefbo = frameBuffer.getColorBufferTexture();
Texturefbo will be y flipped. You can fix this with texture draw method by setting scaleY to -1 or You can scale scaleY to -1 while drawing on framebuffer or can change camera like this
up.set(0, -1, 0);
direction.set(0, 0, 1);
to flip to camera on y axis.
Last thing came to my mind is mipmapping this texture.Its also not so hard.
texturefbo.bind();
Gdx.gl.glGenerateMipmap(GL20.GL_TEXTURE_2D);
texturefbo.setFilter(Texture.TextureFilter.MipMapLinearLinear,
Texture.TextureFilter.MipMapLinearLinear);
You can do this:
Texture boxTexture = new TextureRegion(textureAtlas.findRegion("box")).getTexture();

Cocos2dx: Sprite3D won't render to texture

I use RenderTexture to render a layer with all its nodes to a texture then apply an OpenGL shader on that texture to create post-process effects. It works all fine except with Sprite3D and Billboard nodes. It has been asked on their forums a few times without any response. I wonder if anyone got this to work.
Here is an example:
Layer* gameLayer = Layer::create();
this->addChild(gameLayer, 0);
auto dir = Director::getInstance()->getWinSize();
Camera *camera = Camera::createPerspective(60, (GLfloat)dir.width / dir.height, 1, 1000);
camera->setPosition3D(Vec3(0, 100, 100));
camera->lookAt(Vec3(0, 0, 0), Vec3(0, 1, 0));
gameLayer->addChild(camera); //add camera to the scene
// You'll get a NULL camera inside BillBoard::calculateBillbaordTransform() function
// if you call visit()
/*auto billboard = BillBoard::create("cocos2d-x.png", BillBoard::Mode::VIEW_POINT_ORIENTED);
billboard->setPosition(Vec2(VisibleRect::center().x, VisibleRect::center().y));
gameLayer->addChild(billboard, 100);*/
// This one won't render into the texture
Sprite3D* sprite3D = Sprite3D::create("blend_test/character_3_animations_test.c3b");
sprite3D->setScale(5.0f); //sets the object scale in float
sprite3D->setRotation3D(Vec3(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f));
//sprite3D->setPosition3D(Vec3(VisibleRect::center().x, VisibleRect::center().y, 0.0f)); //sets sprite position
sprite3D->setPosition(Vec2(VisibleRect::center().x, VisibleRect::center().y));
gameLayer->addChild(sprite3D, 1); //adds sprite to scene, z-index: 1
// This one works just fine and appears black and white as expected
// in the resulting texture
Sprite* sprite2D = Sprite::create("cocos2d-x.png");
sprite2D->setPosition(Vec2(VisibleRect::center().x, VisibleRect::center().y));
gameLayer->addChild(sprite2D);
// Black and white OpenGL shader
GLProgram* glProgram = GLProgram::createWithFilenames("shaders/gray.vert", "shaders/gray.frag");
glProgram->bindAttribLocation(GLProgram::ATTRIBUTE_NAME_COLOR, GLProgram::VERTEX_ATTRIB_POSITION);
glProgram->bindAttribLocation(GLProgram::ATTRIBUTE_NAME_POSITION, GLProgram::VERTEX_ATTRIB_COLOR);
glProgram->bindAttribLocation(GLProgram::ATTRIBUTE_NAME_TEX_COORD, GLProgram::VERTEX_ATTRIB_TEX_COORD);
glProgram->bindAttribLocation(GLProgram::ATTRIBUTE_NAME_TEX_COORD1, GLProgram::VERTEX_ATTRIB_TEX_COORD1);
glProgram->bindAttribLocation(GLProgram::ATTRIBUTE_NAME_TEX_COORD2, GLProgram::VERTEX_ATTRIB_TEX_COORD2);
glProgram->bindAttribLocation(GLProgram::ATTRIBUTE_NAME_TEX_COORD3, GLProgram::VERTEX_ATTRIB_TEX_COORD3);
glProgram->bindAttribLocation(GLProgram::ATTRIBUTE_NAME_NORMAL, GLProgram::VERTEX_ATTRIB_NORMAL);
glProgram->bindAttribLocation(GLProgram::ATTRIBUTE_NAME_BLEND_WEIGHT, GLProgram::VERTEX_ATTRIB_BLEND_WEIGHT);
glProgram->bindAttribLocation(GLProgram::ATTRIBUTE_NAME_BLEND_INDEX, GLProgram::VERTEX_ATTRIB_BLEND_INDEX);
glProgram->link();
glProgram->updateUniforms();
RenderTexture* renderTexture = RenderTexture::create(VisibleRect::width(), VisibleRect::height());
renderTexture->retain();
Sprite* ppSprite = Sprite::createWithTexture(renderTexture->getSprite()->getTexture());
ppSprite->setTextureRect(Rect(0, 0, ppSprite->getTexture()->getContentSize().width,
ppSprite->getTexture()->getContentSize().height));
ppSprite->setAnchorPoint(Point::ZERO);
ppSprite->setPosition(Point::ZERO);
ppSprite->setFlippedY(true);
ppSprite->setGLProgram(glProgram);
this->addChild(ppSprite, 100);
renderTexture->beginWithClear(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
auto renderer = _director->getRenderer();
auto& parentTransform = _director->getMatrix(MATRIX_STACK_TYPE::MATRIX_STACK_MODELVIEW);
gameLayer->visit(renderer, parentTransform, true);
//gameLayer->visit();
renderTexture->end();
ppSprite->setTexture(renderTexture->getSprite()->getTexture());
Cocos2d-x v3.11.1 (current as of this post) and below don't properly support RenderTextures with Sprite3D because of a clear depth buffer bug.
There is a GitHub issue on the bug. But a workaround now exists:
...
sprite3D->setForce2DQueue(true); // puts your Sprite3D on same render queue as the RenderTexture. More info below.
...
auto rt = RenderTexture::create(1280, 720, Texture2D::PixelFormat::RGBA8888, GL_DEPTH24_STENCIL8); // By default a depth buffer isn't created
rt->setKeepMatrix(true); // required
...
...
rt->beginWithClear(0, 0, 0, 0, 1); // required, clears the depth buffer
Also, changes need to be made to RenderTexture.cpp. This fixes the clear depth buffer bug in Cocos2d-x.
void RenderTexture::onClear()
{
// save clear color
GLfloat oldClearColor[4] = {0.0f};
GLfloat oldDepthClearValue = 0.0f;
GLint oldStencilClearValue = 0;
GLboolean oldDepthWrite = GL_FALSE;
// backup and set
if (_clearFlags & GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT)
{
glGetFloatv(GL_COLOR_CLEAR_VALUE, oldClearColor);
glClearColor(_clearColor.r, _clearColor.g, _clearColor.b, _clearColor.a);
}
if (_clearFlags & GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT)
{
glGetFloatv(GL_DEPTH_CLEAR_VALUE, &oldDepthClearValue);
glClearDepth(_clearDepth);
glGetBooleanv(GL_DEPTH_WRITEMASK, &oldDepthWrite);
glDepthMask(true);
}
if (_clearFlags & GL_STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT)
{
glGetIntegerv(GL_STENCIL_CLEAR_VALUE, &oldStencilClearValue);
glClearStencil(_clearStencil);
}
// clear
glClear(_clearFlags);
// restore
if (_clearFlags & GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT)
{
glClearColor(oldClearColor[0], oldClearColor[1], oldClearColor[2], oldClearColor[3]);
}
if (_clearFlags & GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT)
{
glClearDepth(oldDepthClearValue);
glDepthMask(oldDepthWrite);
}
if (_clearFlags & GL_STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT)
{
glClearStencil(oldStencilClearValue);
}
}
See the issue for more details. I also made an example gist of the workaround. Screenshot below.
I'm not sure about billboards, but this workaround might fix it too.
Info on Cocos2d-x render queues:
The Sprite3D needs to be on the same render queue as the RenderTexture. Cocos2d-x (as of v3.7 or so) now has 5 render queues:
Global Z Order < 0
3D Opaque
3D Transparent
Global Z Order == 0 (default for 2D)
Global Z Order > 0
You can put the Sprite3D and the RenderTexture on the last queue with setGlobalZOrder(1) or just put the Sprite3D in the 2D queue with sprite3D->setForce2DQueue(true).
unlike cocos2d RenderTexture the following worked fine for 3D screen capture (or anything i imagine)!
Sprite * CcGlobal::getScreenAsSprite(void) {
Size screenSize = Director::getInstance()->getWinSize();
int width = screenSize.width;
int height = screenSize.height;
std::shared_ptr<GLubyte> buffer(new GLubyte[width * height * 4], [](GLubyte* p) { CC_SAFE_DELETE_ARRAY(p); });
glPixelStorei(GL_PACK_ALIGNMENT, 1);
glReadPixels(0, 0, width, height, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, buffer.get());
Image* image = new (std::nothrow) Image;
image->initWithRawData(buffer.get(), width * height * 4, width, height, 8);
Texture2D *texture = new (std::nothrow) Texture2D();
texture->initWithImage(image);
SpriteFrame *spriteFrame = SpriteFrame::createWithTexture(texture, Rect(Vec2(0, 0), screenSize));
Sprite *sprite = Sprite::createWithSpriteFrame(spriteFrame);
sprite->setFlippedY(true);
delete image;
return sprite;
}

libgdx open gles 2.0 stencil alpha masking

I'm looking for a solution to implement alpha masking with stencil buffer in libgdx with open gles 2.0.
I have managed to implement simple alpha masking with stencil buffer and shaders, where if alpha channel of fragment is greater then some specified value it gets discarted. That works fine.
The problem is when I want to use some gradient image mask, or fethered png mask, I don't get what I wanned (I get "filled" rectangle mask with no alpha channel), instead I want smooth fade out mask.
I know that the problem is that in stencil buffer there are only 0s and 1s, but I want to write to stencil some other values, that represent actual alpha value of fragment that passed in fragment shader, and to use that value from stencil to somehow do some blending.
I hope that I've explained what I want to get, actually if it's possible.
I've recently started playing with OpenGL ES, so I still have some misunderstandings.
My questions is: How to setup and stencil buffer to store values other then 0s and 1s, and how to use that values later for alpha masking?
Tnx in advance.
This is currently my stencil setup:
Gdx.gl.glClearColor(1, 1, 1, 1);
Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL20.GL_STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT | GL20.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
// setup drawing to stencil buffer
Gdx.gl20.glEnable(GL20.GL_STENCIL_TEST);
Gdx.gl20.glStencilFunc(GL20.GL_ALWAYS, 0x1, 0xffffffff);
Gdx.gl20.glStencilOp(GL20.GL_REPLACE, GL20.GL_REPLACE, GL20.GL_REPLACE);
Gdx.gl20.glColorMask(false, false, false, false);
Gdx.gl20.glDepthMask(false);
spriteBatch.setShader(shaderStencilMask);
spriteBatch.begin();
// push to the batch
spriteBatch.draw(Assets.instance.actor1, Gdx.graphics.getWidth() / 2, Gdx.graphics.getHeight() / 2, Assets.instance.actor1.getRegionWidth(), Assets.instance.actor1.getRegionHeight());
spriteBatch.end();
// fix stencil buffer, enable color buffer
Gdx.gl20.glColorMask(true, true, true, true);
Gdx.gl20.glDepthMask(true);
Gdx.gl20.glStencilOp(GL20.GL_KEEP, GL20.GL_KEEP, GL20.GL_KEEP);
// draw where pattern has NOT been drawn
Gdx.gl20.glStencilFunc(GL20.GL_EQUAL, 0x1, 0xff);
decalBatch.add(decal);
decalBatch.flush();
Gdx.gl20.glDisable(GL20.GL_STENCIL_TEST);
decalBatch.add(decal2);
decalBatch.flush();
The only ways I can think of doing this are with a FrameBuffer.
Option 1
Draw your scene's background (the stuff that will not be masked) to a FrameBuffer. Then draw your entire scene without masks to the screen. Then draw your mask decals to the screen using the FrameBuffer's color attachment. Downside to this method is that in OpenGL ES 2.0 on Android, a FrameBuffer can have RGBA4444, not RGBA8888, so there will be visible seams along the edges of the masks where the color bit depth changes.
Option 2
Draw you mask decals as B&W opaque to your FrameBuffer. Then draw your background to the screen. When you draw anything that can be masked, draw it with multi-texturing, multiplying by the FrameBuffer's color texture. Potential downside is that absolutely anything that can be masked must be drawn multi-textured with a custom shader. But if you're just using decals, then this isn't really any more complicated than Option 1.
The following is untested...might require a bit of debugging.
In both options, I would subclass CameraGroupStrategy to be used with the DecalBatch when drawing the mask decals, and override beforeGroups to also set the second texture.
public class MaskingGroupStrategy extends CameraGroupStrategy{
private Texture fboTexture;
//call this before using the DecalBatch for drawing mask decals
public void setFBOTexture(Texture fboTexture){
this.fboTexture = fboTexture;
}
#Override
public void beforeGroups () {
super.beforeGroups();
fboTexture.bind(1);
shader.setUniformi("u_fboTexture", 1);
shader.setUniformf("u_screenDimensions", Gdx.graphics.getWidth(), Gdx.graphics.getHeight());
}
}
And in your shader, you can get the FBO texture color like this:
vec4 fboColor = texture2D(u_fboTexture, gl_FragCoord.xy/u_screenDimensions.xy);
Then for option 1:
gl_FragColor = vec4(fboColor.rgb, 1.0-texture2D(u_texture, v_texCoords).a);
or for option 2:
gl_FragColor = v_color * texture2D(u_texture, v_texCoords);
gl_FragColor.a *= fboColor.r;

LibGDX FrameBuffer

I'm trying to make a game where you build a spaceship from parts, and fly it around and such.
I would like to create the ship from a series of components (from a TextureAtlas for instance). I'd like to draw the ship from it's component textures, and then save the drawn ship as one large Texture. (So i don't have to draw 50 component textures, just one ship texture. What would be the best way to go about this?
I've been trying to do so using a FrameBuffer. I've been able to draw the components to a Texture, and draw the texture to the screen, but no matter what I try the Texture ends up with a solid background the size of the frame buffer. It's like the clear command can't clear with transparency. Here's the drawing code I have at the moment. The ship is just a Sprite which i save the FrameBuffer texture to.
public void render(){
if (ship == null){
int screenwidth = Gdx.graphics.getWidth();
int screenheight = Gdx.graphics.getHeight();
SpriteBatch fb = new SpriteBatch();
FrameBuffer fbo = new FrameBuffer(Format.RGB888, screenwidth, screenheight, false);
fbo.begin();
fb.enableBlending();
Gdx.gl.glBlendFuncSeparate(GL20.GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL20.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA, GL20.GL_ONE, GL20.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
Gdx.gl.glClearColor(1, 0, 1, 0);
Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
fb.begin();
atlas.createSprite("0").draw(fb);
fb.end();
fbo.end();
ship = new Sprite(fbo.getColorBufferTexture());
ship.setPosition(0, -screenheight);
}
Gdx.gl.glClearColor(1, 0, 0, 1);
Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
batch.begin();
batch.enableBlending();
batch.setBlendFunction(GL20.GL_ONE, GL20.GL_ZERO);
ship.draw(batch);
batch.end();
}
The problem here lies in this line:
FrameBuffer fbo = new FrameBuffer(Format.RGB888, screenwidth, screenheight, false);
specifically with Format.RGB888. This line is saying that your FrameBuffer should be Red (8 bits) followed by Green (8 bits) followed by Blue (8 bits). Notice however, that this format doesn't have any bits for Alpha (transparency). In order to get transparency out of your frame buffer, you probably instead want to use the Format.RGBA8888, which includes an additional 8 bits for Alpha.
Hope this helps.

LibGDX: transform Texture to TextureRegion

I am creating a TowerDefence Game in LibGDX and am now trying to replace the old Tile with a new StaticTiledMapTile.
But to create a StaticTiledMapTile I need a TextureRegion, not a Texture.
Now I'm trying to create a TextureRegion, which contains the whole Texture, but it doesn't seem to work. It always appears distorted.
I have tried the following:
TextureRegion region = new TextureRegion(new Texture("someImg.png"), 0, 0, 32, 32);
StaticTileMapTile tile = new StaticTiledMapTile(region);
getLayer().getCell(x,y).setTile(tile); //setting the new tile
In my opinion this should work (if the image, as it is, is 32px wide and 32px high).
