detail level of 7 and higher in WebGL, make sure to enable the
|
||||
[`OES_element_index_uint`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/OES_element_index_uint)
|

extension since the number of vertices might overflow the normal int index.
|

|

The program can also add color to each face by assigning each vertex a color,
|
||||
but this comes at the cost of duplicating the shared vertices in the base model
|
||||
so each face has a unique set of vertices, greatly increasing the size of the
|

mesh.

|

|
||||
To generate a detailed hexsphere, it starts with base icosahedron:
|
||||
|
||||
![icosahedron](img/icosahedron_colored_1.png)
|
||||
|
||||
Subdivides it's sides into a more detailed icosahedron:
|
||||
|
||||
![subdivided icosahedron](img/icosahedron_colored_3.png)
|
||||
|
||||
Then, truncates every point in the icosahedron into hexagons and 12 pentagons:
|
||||
|
||||
![hexsphere detail 3](img/hexsphere_colored_3.png)
|
||||
|
||||
Up to any detail level:

||||

|
||||
## Install
|
||||
|
||||
To install, checkout the repo and then run `cargo install icosahedron`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Run it with the following options:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
icosahedron 1.0
|
||||
Tyler Hallada <tyler@hallada.net>
|
||||
Generates 3D icosahedra meshes
|
||||
|
||||
USAGE:
|
||||
icosahedron [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [OUTPUT]
|
||||
|
||||
FLAGS:
|
||||
-c, --colored Assigns a random color to every face (increases vertices count).
|
||||
-h, --help Prints help information
|
||||
-t, --truncated Generate truncated icosahedra (hexspheres).
|
||||
-V, --version Prints version information
|
||||
|
||||
OPTIONS:
|
||||
-d, --detail <detail> Maximum detail level to generate. Each level multiplies the number of triangles by 4.
|
||||
[default: 7]
|
||||
-f, --format <format> Format to write the files in. [default: Bin] [possible values: Json, Bin]
|
||||
-r, --radius <radius> Radius of the polyhedron, [default: 1.0]
|
||||
|
||||
ARGS:
|
||||
<OUTPUT> Directory to write the output files to. [default: output/]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Output Format
|
||||
|
||||
Outputs in either JSON or custom binary format. The binary format (all little
|
||||
endian) is laid out as:
|
||||
|
||||
1. 1 32 bit unsigned integer specifying the number of vertices (`V`)
|
||||
2. 1 32 bit unsigned integer specifying the number of triangles (`T`)
|
||||
3. `V` * 3 number of 32 bit floats for every vertex's x, y, and z coordinate
|
||||
4. `V` * 3 number of 32 bit floats for the normals of every vertex
|
||||
5. `V` * 3 number of 32 bit floats for the color of every vertex component
|
||||
6. `T` * 3 number of 32 bit unsigned integers for the 3 indices into the vertex
|
||||
array that make every triangle
|
||||
|
||||
An example of reading the binary format in JavaScript:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
fetch(binaryFile)
|
||||
.then(response => response.arrayBuffer())
|
||||
.then(buffer => {
|
||||
let reader = new DataView(buffer);
|
||||
let numVertices = reader.getUint32(0, true);
|
||||
let numCells = reader.getUint32(4, true);
|
||||
let shape = {
|
||||
positions: new Float32Array(buffer, 8, numVertices * 3),
|
||||
normals: new Float32Array(buffer, numVertices * 12 + 8, numVertices * 3),
|
||||
colors: new Float32Array(buffer, numVertices * 24 + 8, numVertices * 3),
|
||||
cells: new Uint32Array(buffer, numVertices * 36 + 8, numCells * 3),
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
