in simulator ,it really support texture of 2^n , but when i upload my application into HTC hero, the texture can not display correctly(face has no texture). if i use texture of 2^n ,it display well on both simulator and HTC Hero.

anyone can help ? thanks.

Hmm, this might be true, I've also faced the same problem. I just got my Hero recently and got the same result. Anyone have any clues?

The OpenGL legacy support for textures were sizes of 2^N, so this limitation remained in OpenGL ES too. There are extensions which allow the use of "non power of two" textures, but you must explicitly use them to obtain the desired result.

Same here... tested on a HTC Hero - it won't display 480x320 textures. The same problem I had 5-6 years ago when I was developing OpenGL applications on PC with older graphic cards. I think I've read somewhere that textures rendered 2^n are much faster to draw than non 2^n. For example 512x512 is much faster than 480x320, or even 512x256. Never tested that theory though.

You can use 320x480 images in canvas mode (non-OpenGL). For OpenGL you can have a 512x512 texture and display only the 320x480 part of it, using the appropriate texture coordinates. Works nice.

Yup, I'm using now 512x512...

By the way, has anyone noticed any problems with GL_LIGHTING on HTC Hero. On the simulator all works fine, but on this device, objects are rendered without lights? I can post my code later during the day...

The differences in programs behaviour between simulator and devices usually are coming from the fact that the device uses the hardware, unlike the simulator (which uses the google Pixel Flinger software emulator). With light you must ensure that you did enable both GL_LIGHTING and GL_LIGHT0. Also if you use more lights you must be careful about the maximum number of light sources enabled at a given time.

Both GL_LIGHT0, GL_LIGHTING are enabled, offcourse

Thanks for clearing that up

This is the LIGHT code that works on simulator and not on HTC Hero:

Code: Select all

   private float lightAmbient[] = new float[]   {1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f};
   private float lightDiffuse[] = new float[]   {1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f};
   private float lightPosition[] = new float[]   {-1.0f, 2.0f, -10.0f, 6.0f};
   private FloatBuffer lightAmbientBuffer;
   private FloatBuffer lightDiffuseBuffer;
   private FloatBuffer lightPositionBuffer;
   this.lightAmbientBuffer = glCommon.initFloatBuffer(this.lightAmbient);
   this.lightDiffuseBuffer = glCommon.initFloatBuffer(this.lightDiffuse);
   this.lightPositionBuffer = glCommon.initFloatBuffer(this.lightPosition);
   gl.glLightfv(GL10.GL_LIGHT0, GL10.GL_AMBIENT, this.lightAmbientBuffer);
   gl.glLightfv(GL10.GL_LIGHT0, GL10.GL_DIFFUSE, this.lightDiffuseBuffer);
   gl.glLightfv(GL10.GL_LIGHT0, GL10.GL_POSITION, this.lightPositionBuffer);
   gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_LIGHT0);
   gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_LIGHTING);


glCommon.initFloatBuffer returns a initialized floatbuffer.

The objects has normals offcourse.

Don't know whats the problem

I don't see anything wrong in your code. To be sure, you can try setting all the light properties, to override the default values. The components which you must set are GL_SPECULAR and GL_SHININESS. This way you control 100% of the light.

You can also try a directional light, with the 4th position value set to 0.0f. This way the light is at infinite distance from the scene and the first 3 values now define the directional vector. This type of light is more common because it's easier to be computed on the graphic chip.

Be sure not to call glEnable(GL_COLOR_MATERIAL) because this overrides the light output and you have no light at all on the object.
