Texture warping on non-rectangular quads

just fix mapping coordinates. I think, that first 3 points of quad have it right, but last one is not right assigned. Put some code, that draw polygon inside glBegin(GL_QUAD(S)) ... glEnd()

The mapping co-ordinates are correct. If you look at all four corners they're in the right place, it's just that rather than stretching the texture over the entire quad evenly, it's mapping it as two triangles.

code help's (I beliew only what I see)

Sadly, it's part of a HUGE function which it can't really be unpicked from in a manner which would allow you to compile it.

But basically if you draw a trapezoidal GL_QUAD perpendicular to the screen with a rectangular/square bit of texture on it, then half the texture goes on one of the triangles in the quad and the other half goes on the other triangle, but as the triangles are of differing sizes it means you get a texture which looks warped.

It may be that I *have* to subdivide the quad into lots of smaller quads in order to fix it, but ideally there'd be some simple texture switch I could flick which would make it distribute the texels evenly in a quad.

Here's some reading. Clicky. Reason is you want a perspctive effect, but neither your vertext or texture coordinates contains any perspective information. If you don't want to actually place the top vertex coordinates further away with perspective projection, you need to introduce the perspective in the texture coordinates instead.

Aha! Perfect, thankyou Brother Bob! :)

Righty, I had a look at that thing, Brother Bob and while it's good for some purposes it introduces fake perspective into the texture, which I really would prefer not to have in some instances. i.e, now it's a case of:



I fiddled around with the program but there wasn't anything I could find to alleviate this effect. Is this simply not possible?

Thanks,

Not sure this'll work, but you can try:

glHint(GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT, GL_FASTEST);
