Hello,

I am looking for a way to create a sphere which simulate the earth with continents. This sphere can spin around axle and detect touch event on each "continent" (the continent will be highlighted with a different color).

Is it possible to implement this idea with SIO2 and Blender? Could anybody please help to give me a suggestion?

Thanks,

Alex

What I would do is model the earth etc... in blender and would implement and arc ball movement within the application.

Google on OpenGL arc ball you'll easily find some sample code.

You should unmap the window coordinates (touch point) to object coordinates using inverse modelview and projection matrices.
After this you can look where these object coordinates lie on your sphere.

This is why sio2 contain sio2Project and sio2Unproject Wink

However they are quite heavy calculations, use it with care!

tutorial14 uses sio2Project and if you search (advanced search) in the forums, you will see examples of sio2UnProject used in Ray tracing logic...just FYI

I'm new to SIO2, so i was not aware of these functions.
I just know that OpenGL ES 1.X does not support them.
And yes, these are quite expensive. Even on desktop OpenGL.

Everyday I'm learning more about your engine and everyday I'm more impressed of your work.
