hi dudes! what's up?
I played with polyvox lastnight... yep no gf... I never saw/used uint8_t type before, what it is his min/max value ? what's the reason of it use ?

I also played with libnoise to generate coherent noise, libnoise gives a double value between zero and one.

how can I use this double value for the density ?

another question, the density have to be zero or max only ? is there a reason to have the mid value for example ? because I can't imagine how ogre/opengl can deals with that, to build the mesh.

Firstly I'll assume you are using the last stable snapshot, because the current Git version is undergoing some changes in this regard.

uint8_t is an 8-bit unsigned integer, with a range from 0 to 255. If you have a double in the range 0.0 to 1.0 then you can convert this to uint8_t by multiplying by 255 and then casting to uint8_t. Note that the multiply must come before the cast!

In the last stable version it is difficult to use the doubles directly, but this will change soon.

I assume you are using the marching cubes surface extractor (rather than one of the cubic ones) in which case the middle values are indeed useful. They basically make sure the terrain appears smooth.

I don't have the current GIT for sure, I still have the one I compil several weeks ago.

If uint8_t go from 0 to 255 I'll do what you said, multiply by 255


ok


i'm using PolyVox::SurfaceExtractor.

thank you for your help!

AWESOME!!!!

Well that's satisfying, glad you got it working so easily

yeah, we should say that you guys make a good work.
