Hi!

Can someone provide a working example of BaseDraw::DrawTexture()? It just doesn't do what I
want so I'm doing something wrong and I can not figure it out.

Some C++ Code:

    Rect_t rect;
    bd->GetSafeFrame(&rect.x1, &rect.y1, &rect.x2, &rect.y2);
  
    // ...
  
    bd->SetMatrix_Screen();
  
    Vector padr4[4];
    padr4[0] = Vector(rect.x1, rect.y1, 0);
    padr4[1] = Vector(rect.x2, rect.y1, 0);
    padr4[2] = Vector(rect.x2, rect.y2, 0);
    padr4[3] = Vector(rect.x1, rect.y2, 0);
  
    Vector cadr[4] = { Vector(0.5) };
    Vector vnadr[4] = { Vector(0, 0, 1) };
    Vector uvadr[4];
    uvadr[0] = Vector(0, 0, 0);
    uvadr[1] = Vector(1, 0, 0);
    uvadr[2] = Vector(1, 1, 0);
    uvadr[3] = Vector(0, 1, 0);
  
    bd->DrawTexture(bmp, padr4, cadr, vnadr, uvadr, 4,
                    DRAW_ALPHA_NORMAL, DRAW_TEXTUREFLAGS_INTERPOLATION_LINEAR);

A Python Version:

    f = bd.GetSafeFrame()
    w = f['cr'] - f['cl']
    h = f['cb'] - f['ct']
  
    # ...
  
    bmp = BaseBitmap()
    bmp.Init(w, h, 24)
    for x in xrange(w) :
        for y in xrange(h) :
            bmp[x, y] = (x, y, 50)
  
    padr4 = [None] * 4
    padr4[0] = Vector(f['cl'], f['ct'], 0)
    padr4[1] = Vector(f['cr'], f['ct'], 0)
    padr4[2] = Vector(f['cr'], f['cb'], 0)
    padr4[3] = Vector(f['cl'], f['cb'], 0)
  
    cadr = times(4, Vector)
    vnadr = times(4, lambda: Vector(0, 0, 1))
    uvadr = [None] * 4
    uvadr[0] = Vector(0, 0, 0)
    uvadr[1] = Vector(1, 0, 0)
    uvadr[2] = Vector(1, 1, 0)
    uvadr[3] = Vector(0, 1, 0)
  
    bd.SetMatrix_Screen()
    bd.DrawTexture(bmp, padr4, cadr, vnadr, uvadr, 4, c4d.DRAW_ALPHA_NONE, c4d.DRAW_TEXTUREFLAGS_INTERPOLATION_NEAREST)

For the Python Version, all I get is a black screen:

I can't really describe the behavior as the behavior seems rather random to me. For example,
changing the cadr array a little:

    cadr = times(4, Vector)
    cadr[0].x = 255
    cadr[1].y = 255

Looks quite funny:

Thanks in advance!

Okay, nevermind. Seems like the colors from the cadr array are drawn in "over" the texture (in
some strange way). So, this basically works arleady really good!

    Rect_t rect;
    bd->GetSafeFrame(&rect.x1, &rect.y1, &rect.x2, &rect.y2);
  
    // Draw the overlay image on the screen.
    BaseBitmap* bmp = image->GetBitmap();
    if (!bmp) return TRUE;
  
    bd->SetMatrix_Screen();
  
    Vector padr4[4];
    padr4[0] = Vector(rect.x1, rect.y1, 0);
    padr4[1] = Vector(rect.x2, rect.y1, 0);
    padr4[2] = Vector(rect.x2, rect.y2, 0);
    padr4[3] = Vector(rect.x1, rect.y2, 0);
  
    Vector uvadr[4];
    uvadr[0] = Vector(0, 0, 0);
    uvadr[1] = Vector(1, 0, 0);
    uvadr[2] = Vector(1, 1, 0);
    uvadr[3] = Vector(0, 1, 0);
  
    bd->DrawTexture(bmp, padr4, NULL, NULL, uvadr, 4,
                    DRAW_ALPHA_FROM_IMAGE, DRAW_TEXTUREFLAGS_0);

But the alpha display is not really satisfieng:

I am drawing Noise on the GeClipMap using this algorithm:

    image->BeginDraw();
    for (LONG x=0; x < width; x++) {
        for (LONG y=0; y < height; y++) {
            Real v = (SNoise(Vector(x / 50.0, y / 50.0, frame)) + 1) / 2;
            v *= (Real) x / width;
            LONG g = (LONG) (v * 255);
  
            image->SetPixelRGBA(x, y, 255, 255, 255, g);
        }
    }
    image->EndDraw();

Is there anything wrong or is it a limitation of the DrawTexture() method?

Thanks,
