why getIndices() always zero? I am using SurfaceExtractor

It looks like you are setting all of your voxels to have maximum density? It so there will be no surface generated. You need to set some to the maximum density and some to the minimum density. Then the surface will be generated on the boundary.

Thank you for your in time reply. I recode my lines as you told and I do have indices. But from my point of view, the numbers below is a litte wired:

And I also didn't get what I want. The result mesh is just have on side.
So I post my code here, and hope you can help me to bug it!

Sorry for bothering you during these couple of days!

I think the number are probably ok. Though it's hard to be sure without a screenshot.

Do you man that it generates the correct triangles, but they are only visible from one side? If so then this is a rendering issue, not directly related to PolyVox. By default graphics cards will draw triangles as only having one side, but you can change this behaviour. See http://www.ogre3d.org/docs/manual/manual_16.html#SEC61

Also, you may find it useful to look at the wireframe rendering: http://www.ogre3d.org/docs/manual/manual_16.html#SEC65

These settings requres you to be familier with Ogre's material system.

I check it in vertex mode and wireframe mode inOgre, It seems the invisible parts stil do not have these components. I will double check lately.

It seems it is not the problem in mesh Ogre Generated. I try to test in this way:
first I use the getvertices to generate:

Code:

for(uint32_t i = 0; i < vecVertices.size(); i++)
      {
         const PolyVox::PositionMaterialNormal& vertex = vecVertices.at(i);   
         PolyVox::Vector3DFloat vertex_pos = vertex.getPosition() /*+static_cast<PolyVox::Vector3DFloat>(mesh->m_Region.getLowerCorner())*/;            
         const PolyVox::Vector3DFloat v3dFinalVertexPos = vertex_pos + static_cast<PolyVox::Vector3DFloat>(mesh->m_Region.getLowerCorner());
         oMO->position(v3dFinalVertexPos.getX(), v3dFinalVertexPos.getY(), v3dFinalVertexPos.getZ());
         oMO->normal(vertex.getNormal().getX(), vertex.getNormal().getY(), vertex.getNormal().getZ());
         oMO->index((Ogre::uint32)(vecIndices[i]));  
         //oMO->index(i);      
      }

the result is below.

If I use the code below,

Code:

for(uint32_t i = 0; i < vecVertices.size(); i++)
      {
         const PolyVox::PositionMaterialNormal& vertex = vecVertices.at(i);   
         PolyVox::Vector3DFloat vertex_pos = vertex.getPosition() /*+static_cast<PolyVox::Vector3DFloat>(mesh->m_Region.getLowerCorner())*/;            
         const PolyVox::Vector3DFloat v3dFinalVertexPos = vertex_pos + static_cast<PolyVox::Vector3DFloat>(mesh->m_Region.getLowerCorner());
         oMO->position(v3dFinalVertexPos.getX(), v3dFinalVertexPos.getY(), v3dFinalVertexPos.getZ());
         oMO->normal(vertex.getNormal().getX(), vertex.getNormal().getY(), vertex.getNormal().getZ());
         //oMO->index((Ogre::uint32)(vecIndices[i]));  
         oMO->index(i);      
      }

the result is,

Does it have a bug?

It sure does :-)

It seems you are not using the index list correctly. Try something like the code below. Note that I haven't tested it so you may need to adjust it to make it compile:

Code:

for(uint32_t i = 0; i < vecVertices.size(); i++)
{
   const PolyVox::PositionMaterialNormal& vertex = vecVertices.at(i);   
   PolyVox::Vector3DFloat vertex_pos = vertex.getPosition() /*+static_cast<PolyVox::Vector3DFloat>(mesh->m_Region.getLowerCorner())*/;            
   const PolyVox::Vector3DFloat v3dFinalVertexPos = vertex_pos + static_cast<PolyVox::Vector3DFloat>(mesh->m_Region.getLowerCorner());
   oMO->position(v3dFinalVertexPos.getX(), v3dFinalVertexPos.getY(), v3dFinalVertexPos.getZ());
   oMO->normal(vertex.getNormal().getX(), vertex.getNormal().getY(), vertex.getNormal().getZ());     
}

for(uint32_t i = 0; i < vecIndices.size(); i++)
{
   oMO->index((Ogre::uint32)(vecIndices[i]));
}

why getIndices() always zero? I am using SurfaceExtractor
