About ofBoxExample

Learning Objectives

This example demonstrates the use of the 3D primitive the ofBox. After studying this example, you'll observe some basic information involved in:

• Creating and drawing multiple instances of ofBox
• Using ofEasycam to move around a 3D scene with your mouse
• Creating and binding textures to 3D primitives using bind() and unbind()

In the example, pay attention to:

• The importance of Depth testing when working with 3D scenes
  • Try commenting out ofEnableDepthTest() and see what the difference is
• The use of normalized versus arbitrary (Arb) texture coordinates
  • Try commenting out ofEnableNormalizedTexCoords() and see what the difference is
• The importance of having a light in your 3D scene

Expected Behavior

When launching this app, you should see a screen with:

• 100 moving 3D boxes textured with a loaded image and outlined with thick colorful lines
• Should be able to rotate the scene with your mouse (click and drag to rotate or pan, or zoom by scrolling)

Instructions for using the app:

• Click and drag (or scroll) in the window to move the 3D Scene. Double click to reset the camera.
