What are the results if you omit using any model or camera transforms and multiply the vertices of an on-screen quad by just the ortho matrix? Hi there, Turns out my math class isn't pristine :lol: I was swapping conventions from the actual math class and the orthographic matrix. I just have to ens...

Try these 2 changes: void Matrix4f::InitOrthoProjTransform(float left, float right, float top, float bottom, float zNear, float zFar) { m[0][0] = 2 / (right - left); m[0][1] = 0; m[0][2] = 0; m[0][3] = 0; m[1][0] = 0; m[1][1] = 2 / (top - bottom); m[1][2] = 0; m[1][3] = 0; m[2][0] = 0; m[2][1] = 0;...

I have a problem with my Ortho Matrix. The engine uses the perspective projection fine but for some reason the Ortho matrix is messed up. (See screenshots below). Can anyone understand what is happening here? At the min I am taking the Projection matrix * Transform (Translate, rotate, scale) and pas...

Hey again, over the course of the day I have been looking into finding more info.

What I would like to know is, is it a good idea to use gluUnProject and pass in the screen coordinates to convert it into world coords?


Thanks

If you're using the method he's talking about, you could say that one tile is for example 0.5 x 0.5 meter, if that makes sense in your game, and just work your way from there (scale your models etc. to fit in these measurements). So if you're going to add a tree in the map, you could just make it 3...

1. Is it best to use an orthographic projection or a perspective projection? It's definitely easiest to deal with orthographic projections in the 2D space. Now what you want that space to be is just what's convenient for you. You can load up identity matrices into the pipeline and render directly t...

Hi there, Over the past few weeks I have been learning modern OpenGL (programmable pipeline) however there doesn't seem to be much coverage on 2d games. What I would like to know is, 1. Is it best to use an orthographic projection or a perspective projection? 2. If using an Ortho projection, should ...

Hello there, I am trying to get SAT working within my 2d game using Windows 8 and DirectX (DirectXTK). However i have run into an issue which I cannot figure out. (I have uploaded a video to youtube that demonstrates the issue) When the boxes are AABB the collision works great, when i rotate the box...

Hi there, Been following Elysian Shadows for a few years now but never came on the fourm.. until now. I have been looking at all of the resources that people have recommended but a lot of the (especially books) seem to be very old and most likely outdated. For instance Sam's teach yourself c++ in 21...
