Kenneth,
using your code, I am able to project the image into the shape of a
cylinder. But I cannot put my green pigment on it, it remains in its
gray colors (like the original image). How to change that?
I have the thread "The Colony Ship" inside the "Images" section here,
and could upload the images there. But here is the code:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
#declare Fn_1 = function
{
pigment
{
image_map { jpeg "Colony Ship I - Heightfield Landscape.jpg" once
interpolate 2 }
// this image needs to be pi-units wide by 1.0 tall, NOT square.
// You can use these two modifiers to 'reverse' the imagery, to see it
// correctly on the INSIDE. HOWEVER, this does not reverse the *depth* of
// the heightfield. The only way to do that (that I know of) is to invert
// the image_map's colors (in Photoshop, for example.)
//scale <-1,1,1>
//translate <1,0,0>
}
}
#declare TheLandscape = object
{
HF_Cylinder(function { Fn_1(x,y*1.7,z).gray }, // *Needs* the function
'wrapper'
1, // UseUVheight: 0 or 1
// ON-- IMPORTANT
0, // UseUVtexture: 0 or 1
<int(100*pi),100>, // Resolution.
1, // Smooth: 0 or 1
"", // FileName, ""=no file,
<0,0,0>, // EndA,
<0,1.7,0>, // EndB-- if this
y-value is different from 1.0,
// change the function's
y-value above to compensate.
0.5, // Radius. Keep this at
.5 for 1:1 reproduction of
// the image_map around
the circumference.
0.3 // Depth
) //-------------------------
scale < 0.58, 0.67, 0.58 >
rotate < 90.0, 0.0, 0.0 >
scale < 1500.0, 1500.0, 2500.0 >
}
#declare MyLandscape = union
{
object { TheLandscape scale < 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 > translate < 0.0, 0.0,
0000.0 > }
object { TheLandscape scale < 1.0, 1.0, -1.0 > translate < 0.0, 0.0,
5000.0 > }
pigment { rgb < 0.05, 0.25, 0.0 > }
finish { emission 0.0 }
}
