[Interest] Drawing a dashed line with Qt Quick 3D

[Laszlo Agocs]

Hi,

The custom geometry lacks UV coordinates in your example application, and so it samples with texture coordinates (0, 0) for any fragment, hence getting a line with color0 instead of the expected  color0-color1-color0-...

Add two floats per vertex and register an attribute for TexCoord0:

  m_vertexData.resize(m_count * 5 * sizeof(float));
  ...
  *p++ = 0.0f; // U
  *p++ = 0.0f; // V
  ...
  *p++ = 1.0f; // U
  *p++ = 0.0f; // V
  ...
  setStride(5 * sizeof(float));
  addAttribute(QQuick3DGeometry::Attribute::PositionSemantic, 0, Attribute::F32Type);
  addAttribute(QQuick3DGeometry::Attribute::TexCoord0Semantic, 3 * sizeof(float), Attribute::F32Type);

Best regards,
Laszlo

Subject: [Interest] Drawing a dashed line with Qt Quick 3D

I'm trying to make a dashed line in quick3d.
I made the line with QQuick3DGeometry, and exposed it to qml, all good.
Then I tried to apply a  custom texture with QQuick3DTextureData, using a texture made with 2 colors with size of 2x1 pixels, but I only get to see the first color.

I sucessfully did in the past a dashed line example with raw OpenGL see here:

Here is the small qt quick 3d example that is failling:

Any help is welcome.

The relevant code is:

// main.qml
View3D {
        id: view3D
        visible: true
        anchors.fill: parent

......
        importScene: sceneRoot

        Node {
            id: sceneRoot

......
            // solid line, all good
            Line {
                p0: Qt.vector3d(-55, 55, 0)
                p1: Qt.vector3d(55, -55, 0)
                baseColor: "red"
                //visible: false
            }

            // dashed line, error: only the first color is show
            Line_dashed {
                p0: Qt.vector3d(-80, -40, 0)
                p1: Qt.vector3d(80, 80, 0)
                color1: "orange"
                color2: "yellow"
                //visible: false
            }

        }//Node: sceneRoot

    }//View3D
}

                     //color2: "white"
                 }
                 magFilter: Texture.Nearest

}


// custom texture

   m_textureData.resize(2 * 4 * sizeof (float)); //QByteArray
    float *p = reinterpret_cast<float *>(m_textureData.data());


    *p++ = m_color1.redF();

    *p++ = m_color1.alphaF();

    *p++ = m_color2.redF();
    *p++ = m_color2.greenF();
    *p++ = m_color2.blueF();
    *p++ = m_color2.alphaF();

    setTextureData(m_textureData);
    setSize(QSize(2,1));
    //setFormat(QQuick3DTextureData::Format::RGBA8);

    setHasTransparency(true);
}
