The trees on our terrain look pretty nice –- at least from some camera positions. If you move your camera to the other side of the terrain, your trees will look like in the image below.
You see that some trees have simply been cut off. So why is this? Let’s see what’s happening on our graphics card:
- The skydome and terrain are rendered, saving their color in the backbuffer and their distance in the Z buffer.
- Your program enters the DrawBillboards method, and asks the graphics card to render the billboards.
- The first billboard is rendered to the screen. Let’s say this is the billboard shown in front in the image above. The whole rectangle of the 2D image is rendered. Also the transparent pixels: the color already present in the backbuffer remains. BUT: since these pixels are actually rendered, they change the value in the Z buffer for these pixels.
- The second billboard is rendered. Let’s say this is the tree to the right of the front tree. For all pixels of this rectangle, you graphics card will check whether the distance to the camera is closer than the value stored in the Z buffer. This is where the problem is situated: the first tree has already written its distance in the Z buffer, so the pixels of the left part of the second tree have a larger distance to the camera than the value already stored in the Z buffer!
Luckily, there are 2 solutions to this.
The first solution would be to render the trees, starting from back to front. This way, all pixels of all trees will be rendered, allowing perfect blending. The only drawback, however, is that you would need to order the billboards from back to front before rendering them. This order depends entirely on the position of your camera, so you would need to do this reordering each time the camera (or the position of your billboard) moves! Which makes it quite impossible to do for a large number of billboards, as this needs to be done on the CPU.
The second approach is not 100% accurate. The good thing is that it’s 99% accurate, and very fast. This is how we will render our billboards:
- Start by rendering all billboards, but only the pixels of the trees that are not transparent. This will not render the full rectangle of the images, but only those pixels of the core of tree and leaves. Also, the Z buffer will be updated only for those pixels. You can see the result of this first step in the image below: only the core of the trunks and trees are rendered, but the order of the trees is correct.
- In the second step, you will render your billboards again, but this time only the (partly) transparent pixels! While doing this, you will want to disabling updating the Z buffer, because otherwise you will run into the same trouble. You can disable the updating of the Z buffer, because the core of the trees have already been drawn correctly, and thus the most important pixels already have the correct Z value. The result after the second step is shown in the final image below.
Let’s see how we can code this down. Go to our DrawBillboards method, and replace the second part of the code by this:
bbEffect.Begin();
device.Vertices[0].SetSource(treeVertexBuffer, 0, VertexPositionTexture.SizeInBytes);
device.VertexDeclaration = treeVertexDeclaration;
int noVertices = treeVertexBuffer.SizeInBytes / VertexPositionTexture.SizeInBytes;
int noTriangles = noVertices / 3;
{
device.RenderState.AlphaTestEnable = true;
device.RenderState.AlphaFunction = CompareFunction.GreaterEqual;
device.RenderState.ReferenceAlpha = 200;
bbEffect.CurrentTechnique.Passes[0].Begin();
device.DrawPrimitives(PrimitiveType.TriangleList, 0, noTriangles);
bbEffect.CurrentTechnique.Passes[0].End();
}
device.RenderState.AlphaTestEnable = false;
bbEffect.End();Because we’ll be rendering everything twice, I reorginazed some stuff. The code that actually renders everything is between the brackets. Before rendering everything, we enable the Alpha Test renderstate, which allows us to kick out the pixels that have an alpha value lower than 200. This will cause only the opaque (=non-transparent) pixels to be rendered.
The second last line is only there so you can already try to render your code at this moment, which should give you the image below. Replace that line with this code, which instructs the graphics card to render the billboards again:
{
device.RenderState.DepthBufferWriteEnable = false;
device.RenderState.AlphaBlendEnable = true;
device.RenderState.SourceBlend = Blend.SourceAlpha;
device.RenderState.DestinationBlend = Blend.InverseSourceAlpha;
device.RenderState.AlphaTestEnable = true;
device.RenderState.AlphaFunction = CompareFunction.Less;
device.RenderState.ReferenceAlpha = 200;
bbEffect.CurrentTechnique.Passes[0].Begin();
device.DrawPrimitives(PrimitiveType.TriangleList, 0, noTriangles);
bbEffect.CurrentTechnique.Passes[0].End();
}
device.RenderState.AlphaBlendEnable = false;
device.RenderState.DepthBufferWriteEnable = true;
device.RenderState.AlphaTestEnable = false;The first line disables updating of the Z buffer, while the next block enables alpha blending as we’ve seen in the chapter on billboarding. The next block sets a different Alpha Test rule: this time we only want to render the transparent pixels! The last 3 lines inside the block actually render the billboards.
The 2 lines outside the brackets reset the critical renderstates to their default values, so next frame we’re ready to render our terrain as usual.
Running this code should give you something like this:
And this time, this remains valid no matter where the camera is positioned ;)
That’s it for our billboards! We’ve discussed some theory, seen how to solve some practical transparency issues and how to render them in regions. All of this is absolutely not restricted to trees and forests, but you’ll be able to use it in many cases.
We’ve almost reached the end of the 4th series. Almost, as we still have to discuss one more very important aspect in game programming: noise!
