Tutorial 7: 3D Model Rendering

第七章：3D模型渲染

This tutorial will cover how to render 3D models in OpenGL 4.0 using GLSL. The code in this tutorial is based on the code from the diffuse lighting tutorial.

本章将介绍如何在OpenGL 4.0中使用GLSL渲染3D模型。本章的代码将在漫反射光照教程的基础上进行修改。

We have already been rendering 3D models in the previous tutorials, however they were composed of a single triangle and were fairly uninteresting. Now that the basics have been covered we'll move forward to render a more complex object. In this case the object will be a cube. Before we get into how to render more complex models we will first talk about model formats.

其实前面的教程已经包含了3D模型的渲染，只是用了简单的三角形。本章我们将渲染一个更加复杂的模型。本章将使用一个盒子。在介绍渲染模型前，先来讨论下模型格式。

There are many tools available that allow users to create 3D models. Maya and 3D Studio Max are two of the more popular 3D modeling programs. There are also many other tools with less features but still can do the basics for what we need.

有很多工具可以用来创建3D模型。Maya和3D Studio Max是两个非常有名的3D建模工具。当然也有很多其他的工具也可以使用。

Regardless of which tool you choose to use they will all export their models into numerous different formats. My suggestion is that you create your own model format and write a parser to convert their export format into your own format. The reason for this is that the 3D modeling package that you use may change over time and their model format will also change. Also you may be using more than one 3D modeling package so you will have multiple different formats to deal with. So if you have your own format and convert their formats to your own then your code will never need to change. You will only need to change your parser program(s) for changing those formats to your own. As well most 3D modeling packages export a ton of junk that is only useful to that modeling program and you don't need any of it in your model format.

不管你选择使用哪种工具，他们应该都支持将模型到处为多种不同的格式。我建议你创建自己的模型格式，然后编写转换器将导出的模型转换为你自己的格式。原因是3D模型包可能会根据时间变化而变化。也有可能你会使用多种不同格式的3D模型包。如果你有自己的格式和转换格式的工具，那么你的(框架)代码就不需要修改。你只需要修改格式转换工具就可以了。另外，很多导出的3D模型包包含大量程序中不需要的冗余数据，在你的模型格式里可以丢弃这些数据。

The most important part to making your own format is that it covers everything you need it to do and that it is simple for you to use. You can also consider making a couple different formats for different objects as some may have animation data, some may be static, and so forth.

制作你自己格式的重要原则是要方便自己使用。你也可以制作多种不同的格式，有的包含动画数据，有的是静态的等等。

The model format I'm going to present is very basic. It will contain a line for each vertex in the model. Each line will match the vertex format used in the code which will be position vector (x, y, z), texture coordinates (tu, tv), and the normal vector (nx, ny, nz). The format will also have the vertex count at the top so you can read the first line and build the memory structures needed before reading in the data. The format will also require that every three lines make a triangle, and that the vertices in the model format are presented in clockwise order. Here is the model file for the cube we are going to render:

我使用的模型格式非常简单。每个顶点的数据占一行。每个顶点包含了坐标向量(x, y, z)，纹理坐标(tu, tv)和法线向量(nx, ny, nz)。格式在头部声明了顶点数量，这样我们就可以申请对应大小的内存来存放数据。这个格式每3行定义一个三角形，顶点使用了顺时针的顺序。下面时盒子模型文件的内容：

So as you can see there are 36 lines of x, y, z, tu, tv, nx, ny, nz data. Every three lines composes its own triangle giving us 12 triangles that will form a cube. The format is very straight forward and can be read directly into our vertex buffers and rendered without any modifications.

你可以看到有36行的x, y, z, tu, tv, nx, ny, nz数据。每3行组成一个三角形，共由12个三角形组成一个盒子。这个格式很直白，不需要任何修改就可以生成我们要用的顶点缓冲区数据并进行渲染。

Now one thing to watch out for is that some 3D modeling programs export the data in different orders such as left hand or right hand coordinate systems. We have setup OpenGL 4.0 to use a left-handed coordinate system and so the model data needs to match that. Keep an eye out for those differences and ensure your parsing program can handle converting data into the correct format/order.

还有件事要注意，有些3D模型工具导出的数据顺序会根据使用不同的坐标系统而不同。OpenGL 4.0使用左手坐标系统，因此模型数据需要与之对应。留意这些差异，确保你的格式解析程序可以处理正确的格式和顺序。

Modelclass.h

For this tutorial all we needed to do was make some minor changes to the ModelClass for it to render 3D models from our text model files.

本章我们只对ModelClass做很小的修改来加载要渲染的3D模型的文本文件。

// Filename: modelclass.h

#ifndef _MODELCLASS_H_
#define _MODELCLASS_H_

The fstream library is now included to handle reading from the model text file.

fstream库用来处理从文本文件读数据。

//
// INCLUDES //
//
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

///
// MY CLASS INCLUDES //
///
#include "textureclass.h"


// Class name: ModelClass

class ModelClass
{
private:
 struct VertexType
 {
  float x, y, z;
  float tu, tv;
  float nx, ny, nz;
 };

The next change is the addition of a new structure to represent the model format. It is called ModelType. It contains position, texture, and normal vectors the same as our file format does.

下面添加一个新的结构ModelType来对应模型的格式。它包含位置、纹理坐标和法向量。

 struct ModelType
 {
  float x, y, z;
  float tu, tv;
  float nx, ny, nz;
 };

public:
 ModelClass();
 ModelClass(const ModelClass&);
 ~ModelClass();

The Initialize function will now take as input the character string file name of the model to be loaded.

Initialize方法增加了要加载的模型文件的文件名作为输入参数。

bool Initialize(OpenGLClass*, char*, char*, unsigned int, bool);
 void Shutdown(OpenGLClass*);
 void Render(OpenGLClass*);

private:
 bool InitializeBuffers(OpenGLClass*);
 void ShutdownBuffers(OpenGLClass*);
 void RenderBuffers(OpenGLClass*);

 bool LoadTexture(OpenGLClass*, char*, unsigned int, bool);
 void ReleaseTexture();

We also have two new functions to handle loading and unloading the model data from the text file.

下面时两个新的方法用来加载和释放模型数据文件。

bool LoadModel(char*);
 void ReleaseModel();

private:
 int m_vertexCount, m_indexCount;
 unsigned int m_vertexArrayId, m_vertexBufferId, m_indexBufferId;
 TextureClass* m_Texture;

The final change is a new private variable called m_model which is going to be an array of the new private structure ModelType. This variable will be used to read in and hold the model data before it is placed in the vertex buffer.

最后一关修改的地方时新增了私有变量m_model，用来指向ModelType结构数组的指针。

ModelType* m_model;
};

#endif

Modelclass.cpp

// Filename: modelclass.cpp

#include "modelclass.h"

ModelClass::ModelClass()
{
 m_Texture = 0;

The new model structure is set to null in the class constructor.

在构造方法里，将m_model设置为null。

 m_model = 0;
}

ModelClass::ModelClass(const ModelClass& other)
{
}

ModelClass::~ModelClass()
{
}

The Initialize function now takes as input the file name of the model that should be loaded.

Initialize方法增加了模型文件名作为输入参数。

bool ModelClass::Initialize(OpenGLClass* OpenGL, char* modelFilename, char* textureFilename, unsigned int textureUnit, bool wrap)
{
 bool result;

In the Initialize function we now call the new LoadModel function first. It will load the model data from the file name we provide into the new m_model array. Once this model array is filled we can then build the vertex and index buffers from it. Since InitializeBuffers now depends on this model data you have to make sure to call the functions in the correct order.

在Initialize方法里，我们首先调用LoadModel方法。LoadModel方法通过模型文件名加载模型数据到m_model。模型加载好后，我们可以使用它填充顶点和索引缓冲区数据。InitializeBuffers方法现在依赖于加载的模型数据，因此要保证方法以正确的顺序进行调用。

// Load in the model data.
 result = LoadModel(modelFilename);
 if(!result)
 {
  return false;
 }

 // Initialize the vertex and index buffers that hold the geometry for the model.
 result = InitializeBuffers(OpenGL);
 if(!result)
 {
  return false;
 }

 // Load the texture for this model.
 result = LoadTexture(OpenGL, textureFilename, textureUnit, wrap);
 if(!result)
 {
  return false;
 }

 return true;
}

void ModelClass::Shutdown(OpenGLClass* OpenGL)
{
 // Release the texture used for this model.
 ReleaseTexture();

 // Release the vertex and index buffers.
 ShutdownBuffers(OpenGL);

In the Shutdown function we add a call to the ReleaseModel function to delete the m_model array data once we are done.

Shutdown方法我们增加了调用ReleaseModel方法的代码。

 // Release the model data.
 ReleaseModel();

 return;
}

void ModelClass::Render(OpenGLClass* OpenGL)
{
 // Put the vertex and index buffers on the graphics pipeline to prepare them for drawing.
 RenderBuffers(OpenGL);

 return;
}

bool ModelClass::InitializeBuffers(OpenGLClass* OpenGL)
{
 VertexType* vertices;
 unsigned int* indices;
 int i;

Take note that we will no longer manually set the vertex and index count here. Once we get to the ModelClass::LoadModel function you will see that we read the vertex and index counts in at that point instead.

这里我们不需要手动设置顶点和索引数量。ModelClass::LoadModel方法我们将读取顶点和索引数量。

 // Create the vertex array.
 vertices = new VertexType[m_vertexCount];
 if(!vertices)
 {
  return false;
 }

 // Create the index array.
 indices = new unsigned int[m_indexCount];
 if(!indices)
 {
  return false;
 }

Loading the vertex and index arrays has changed a bit. Instead of setting the values manually we loop through all the elements in the new m_model array and copy that data from there into the vertex array. The index array is easy to build as each vertex we load has the same index number as the position in the array it was loaded into. One final thing to note is that the model format used does need the tv texture coordinate reversed for OpenGL.

加载顶点和索引数组的方式进行了小幅修改。这里使用循环方式从模型数据数组里将数据拷贝到顶点数组。索引数组很好创建，因为顶点的顺序就是索引顺序。最后注意，模型格式里的纹理坐标tv值与OpenGL中用的相反。

 // Load the vertex array and index array with data.
 for(i=0; i<m_vertexCount; i++)
 {
  vertices[i].x  = m_model[i].x;
  vertices[i].y  = m_model[i].y;
  vertices[i].z  = m_model[i].z;
  vertices[i].tu = m_model[i].tu;
  vertices[i].tv = 1.0f - m_model[i].tv;
  vertices[i].nx = m_model[i].nx;
  vertices[i].ny = m_model[i].ny;
  vertices[i].nz = m_model[i].nz;

  indices[i] = i;
 }

 // Allocate an OpenGL vertex array object.
 OpenGL->glGenVertexArrays(1, &m_vertexArrayId);

 // Bind the vertex array object to store all the buffers and vertex attributes we create here.
 OpenGL->glBindVertexArray(m_vertexArrayId);

 // Generate an ID for the vertex buffer.
 OpenGL->glGenBuffers(1, &m_vertexBufferId);

 // Bind the vertex buffer and load the vertex (position, texture, and normal) data into the vertex buffer.
 OpenGL->glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, m_vertexBufferId);
 OpenGL->glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, m_vertexCount * sizeof(VertexType), vertices, GL_STATIC_DRAW);

 // Enable the three vertex array attributes.
 OpenGL->glEnableVertexAttribArray(0);  // Vertex position.
 OpenGL->glEnableVertexAttribArray(1);  // Texture coordinates.
 OpenGL->glEnableVertexAttribArray(2);  // Normals.

 // Specify the location and format of the position portion of the vertex buffer.
 OpenGL->glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, m_vertexBufferId);
 OpenGL->glVertexAttribPointer(0, 3, GL_FLOAT, false, sizeof(VertexType), 0);

 // Specify the location and format of the texture coordinate portion of the vertex buffer.
 OpenGL->glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, m_vertexBufferId);
 OpenGL->glVertexAttribPointer(1, 2, GL_FLOAT, false, sizeof(VertexType), (unsigned char*)NULL + (3 * sizeof(float)));

 // Specify the location and format of the normal vector portion of the vertex buffer.
 OpenGL->glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, m_vertexBufferId);
 OpenGL->glVertexAttribPointer(2, 3, GL_FLOAT, false, sizeof(VertexType), (unsigned char*)NULL + (5 * sizeof(float)));

 // Generate an ID for the index buffer.
 OpenGL->glGenBuffers(1, &m_indexBufferId);

 // Bind the index buffer and load the index data into it.
 OpenGL->glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, m_indexBufferId);
 OpenGL->glBufferData(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, m_indexCount* sizeof(unsigned int), indices, GL_STATIC_DRAW);
 
 // Now that the buffers have been loaded we can release the array data.
 delete [] vertices;
 vertices = 0;

 delete [] indices;
 indices = 0;

 return true;
}

void ModelClass::ShutdownBuffers(OpenGLClass* OpenGL)
{
 // Disable the two vertex array attributes.
 OpenGL->glDisableVertexAttribArray(0);
 OpenGL->glDisableVertexAttribArray(1);
 
 // Release the vertex buffer.
 OpenGL->glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
 OpenGL->glDeleteBuffers(1, &m_vertexBufferId);

 // Release the index buffer.
 OpenGL->glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
 OpenGL->glDeleteBuffers(1, &m_indexBufferId);

 // Release the vertex array object.
 OpenGL->glBindVertexArray(0);
 OpenGL->glDeleteVertexArrays(1, &m_vertexArrayId);

 return;
}

void ModelClass::RenderBuffers(OpenGLClass* OpenGL)
{
 // Bind the vertex array object that stored all the information about the vertex and index buffers.
 OpenGL->glBindVertexArray(m_vertexArrayId);

 // Render the vertex buffer using the index buffer.
 glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, m_indexCount, GL_UNSIGNED_INT, 0);

 return;
}

bool ModelClass::LoadTexture(OpenGLClass* OpenGL, char* textureFilename, unsigned int textureUnit, bool wrap)
{
 bool result;

 // Create the texture object.
 m_Texture = new TextureClass;
 if(!m_Texture)
 {
  return false;
 }

 // Initialize the texture object.
 result = m_Texture->Initialize(OpenGL, textureFilename, textureUnit, wrap);
 if(!result)
 {
  return false;
 }

 return true;
}

void ModelClass::ReleaseTexture()
{
 // Release the texture object.
 if(m_Texture)
 {
  m_Texture->Shutdown();
  delete m_Texture;
  m_Texture = 0;
 }

 return;
}

This is the new LoadModel function which handles loading the model data from the text file into the m_model array variable. It opens the text file and reads in the vertex count first. After reading the vertex count it creates the ModelType array and then reads each line into the array. Both the vertex count and index count are now set in this function.

下面时新增的LoadModel方法，用来从模型文件加载模型数据到m_model数组变量。它先打开文件，并读取顶点数量。然后根据顶点数量创建ModelType数组并将每行顶点数据读入数组。顶点数量和顶点数组都已经设置好了。

bool ModelClass::LoadModel(char* filename)
{
 ifstream fin;
 char input;
 int i;

 // Open the model file.
 fin.open(filename);
 
 // If it could not open the file then exit.
 if(fin.fail())
 {
  return false;
 }

 // Read up to the value of vertex count.
 fin.get(input);
 while(input != ':')
 {
  fin.get(input);
 }

 // Read in the vertex count.
 fin >> m_vertexCount;

 // Set the number of indices to be the same as the vertex count.
 m_indexCount = m_vertexCount;

 // Create the model using the vertex count that was read in.
 m_model = new ModelType[m_vertexCount];
 if(!m_model)
 {
  return false;
 }

 // Read up to the beginning of the data.
 fin.get(input);
 while(input != ':')
 {
  fin.get(input);
 }
 fin.get(input);
 fin.get(input);

 // Read in the vertex data.
 for(i=0; i<m_vertexCount; i++)
 {
  fin >> m_model[i].x >> m_model[i].y >> m_model[i].z;
  fin >> m_model[i].tu >> m_model[i].tv;
  fin >> m_model[i].nx >> m_model[i].ny >> m_model[i].nz;
 }

 // Close the model file.
 fin.close();

 return true;
}

The ReleaseModel function handles deleting the model data array.

ReleaseModel方法删除模型数据数组。

void ModelClass::ReleaseModel()
{
 if(m_model)
 {
  delete [] m_model;
  m_model = 0;
 }

 return;
}

Graphicsclass.h

The header for the GraphicsClass has not changed since the previous tutorial.

GraphicsClass的头部有修改。

// Filename: graphicsclass.h

#ifndef _GRAPHICSCLASS_H_
#define _GRAPHICSCLASS_H_

 m_Camera->SetPosition(0.0f, 0.0f, -10.0f);

 // Create the model object.
 m_Model = new ModelClass;
 if(!m_Model)
 {
  return false;
 }

The model initialization now takes in the filename of the model file it is loading. In this tutorial we will use the cube.txt file so this model loads in a 3D cube object for rendering. Also note that we are using a new texture called opengl.tga instead of the stone texture from the previous tutorial.

模型初始化现在增加了模型文件名作为参数。本章我们使用cube.txt文件，所以将加载3D盒子进行渲染。注意，我们使用了新的纹理opengl.tga替换前面教程的纹理。

 // Initialize the model object.
 result = m_Model->Initialize(m_OpenGL,  "../Engine/data/cube.txt", "../Engine/data/opengl.tga", 0, true);
 if(!result)
 {
  MessageBox(hwnd, L"Could not initialize the model object.", L"Error", MB_OK);
  return false;
 }
 
 // Create the light shader object.
 m_LightShader = new LightShaderClass;
 if(!m_LightShader)

  return false;
 }

 // Initialize the light shader object.
 result = m_LightShader->Initialize(m_OpenGL, hwnd);
 if(!result)

  return false;
 }

 // Create the light object.
 m_Light = new LightClass;
 if(!m_Light)
 {
  return false;
 }

I have changed the diffuse light color to white for this tutorial.

我将漫反射光照的颜色修改为白色。

 // Initialize the light object.
 m_Light->SetDiffuseColor(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
 m_Light->SetDirection(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);

 // Get the world, view, and projection matrices from the opengl and camera objects.
 m_OpenGL->GetWorldMatrix(worldMatrix);
 m_Camera->GetViewMatrix(viewMatrix);
 m_OpenGL->GetProjectionMatrix(projectionMatrix);

 // Get the light properties.
 m_Light->GetDirection(lightDirection);
 m_Light->GetDiffuseColor(diffuseLightColor);

 // Rotate the world matrix by the rotation value so that the triangle will spin.

 m_LightShader->SetShaderParameters(m_OpenGL, worldMatrix, viewMatrix, projectionMatrix, 0, lightDirection, diffuseLightColor);

 // Render the model using the light shader.
 m_Model->Render(m_OpenGL);
 
 // Present the rendered scene to the screen.
 m_OpenGL->EndScene();

 return true;
}

Summary

总结

With the changes to the ModelClass we can now load in 3D models and render them. The format used here is just for basic static objects with lighting, however it is a good start to understanding how model formats work.

修改ModelClass后，我们可以加载3D模型并进行渲染。这里使用了静态模型格式。但作为了解模型文件格式本章是个不错的开端。

To Do Exercises

练习

1. Recompile the code and run the program. You should get a rotating cube with the opengl.tga texture on it. Press escape to quit once done.

1. 重新编译并运行代码。可以看到一个带opengl.tga纹理的旋转的盒子。按ESC键退出程序。

2. Find a decent 3D modeling package (hopefully something free) and create your own simple models and export them. Start looking at the format.

2. 找一个适当的3D模型包(最好是免费的)，创建你自己的模型格式并将它们导出。

3. Write a simple parser program that takes the model exports and converts it to the format used here. Replace cube.txt with your model and run the program.

3. 编写简单的解析模型格式工具。用你自己的模型文件替换cube.txt。并运行程序。
