Hi,
I’m having some trouble indexing the data vbo in the simpleGL project, but maybe this is a more general problem.
In the simpleGL kernel, x and y are initialized to be this:
unsigned int x = blockIdx.x*blockDim.x + threadIdx.x;
unsigned int y = blockIdx.y*blockDim.y + threadIdx.y;
When I index into the data vbo to access the x,y,z of a given vertex, it looks like this:
unsigned int i = (y*width+x)*3;
data[i] = u; // x coord
data[i+1] = w; // y coord
data[i+2] = v; // z coord
where u v are the u v coordinates and w is set to 0.0 in my example (i turned off the frequency stuff).
My problem is this. If I want to access the column to the left of the current column, I say
unsigned int i_left = ((y-1)*width+x)*3;
That is working. For instance, if I check for (y = width - 2) and then set data[i_left+1] = 0.5, the column that is two columns from the end will be up above the rest. If I then say:
data[i+1] = 0.5
instead of messing with i_left+1, it will only elevate the next to last column, leaving all of the others in their original position.
However, when I do
unsigned int i_right = ((y+1)*width+x)*3;
and then set [i_right+1] = 0.5, nothing happens.
I am getting similar results when I try to change x:
i_down = (y*width+x-1)3 // works properly
i = (ywidth+x)3 // works properly
i_up = (ywidth+x+1)*3 //does not work
Any idea why y-1 or x-1 would work but y+1 and x+1 do not? I’m not getting array exceptions or out of bound indexing. I’m just not getting any dots to move.
I’m running WinXP on a GeForce7300GT card, and I’m running this project in emulation mode.
thanks,
