I have a cube define in the code below. I want to specify color for each of the 6 faces like:
front face: color1
back face: color2
left face: color3
right face: color4
top face: color5
bottom face: color6
Note that in OpenGL ES we only have triangles and not quads. I am looking for working sample code that solves my problem because working sample code is worth more than a thousand words like they say about pictures.
Here is the cube:
float vertices[] = { -width, -height, -depth, // 0
width, -height, -depth, // 1
width, height, -depth, // 2
-width, height, -depth, // 3
-width, -height, depth, // 4
width, -height, depth, // 5
width, height, depth, // 6
-width, height, depth // 7
};
short indices[] = { 0, 2, 1,
0, 3, 2,
1,2,6,
6,5,1,
4,5,6,
6,7,4,
2,3,6,
6,3,7,
0,7,3,
0,4,7,
0,1,5,
0,5,4
};
This is the drawing code:
gl.glFrontFace(GL10.GL_CCW);
// Enable face culling.
gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_CULL_FACE);
// What faces to remove with the face culling.
gl.glCullFace(GL10.GL_BACK);
// Enabled the vertices buffer for writing and to be used during
// rendering.
gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
// Specifies the location and data format of an array of vertex
// coordinates to use when rendering.
gl.glVertexPointer(3, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, mVerticesBuffer);
// Bind the texture according to the set texture filter
gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, textures[filter]);
gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D);
if (mColorBuffer != null) {
// Enable the color array buffer to be used during rendering.
gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_COLOR_ARRAY);
gl.glColorPointer(4, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, mColorBuffer);
}
gl.glDrawElements(GL10.GL_TRIANGLES, mNumOfIndices,
GL10.GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, mIndicesBuffer);
// ALL the DRAWING IS DONE NOW
// Disable the vertices buffer.
gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);
// Disable face culling.
gl.glDisable(GL10.GL_CULL_FACE);
