If the image is a three component (RGB) image, it will be treated as a normal map, where the red image component equals the X normal component, green equals Y, and blue is Z. See http://www.paulsprojects.net/tutorials/simplebump/simplebump.html for a nice introduction about bump mapping and normal maps. If the image is a grayscale image, it will be treated as a height map, and automatically converted to a normal map. For bump mapping to work with extension nodes for Coin, the **SoShape::generatePrimitives()** method must be correctly implemented for the shape. This is needed since tangent space coordinates needs to be calculated for each vertex in the shape. All shape nodes which are a standard part of Coin meets this criteria. Bump mapping in Coin requires OpenGL 1.3, or the following OpenGL extensions: GL\_ARB\_multitexture, GL\_ARB\_texture\_cube\_map, GL\_ARB\_texture\_env\_combine and GL\_ARB\_texture\_env\_dot3 (or the corresponding EXT extensions). If the runtime system doesn't meet these requirements, Coin will post a warning and the bump map will simply be ignored. GL\_ARB\_vertex\_program and GL\_ARB\_fragment\_program is required to get specular lighting on the bumps. If these extensions are not available, the bumps will be rendered with diffuse lighting only. Bump mapped objects will be rendered with multiple rendering passes. One extra pass per light source for diffuse only bumps, and two extra passes per light source for diffuse and specular bumps. You can turn off specular lighting on the bumps by setting specularColor to (0.0, 0.0, 0.0). **FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS:** ``` BumpMap { filename "" image 0 0 0 wrapS REPEAT wrapT REPEAT } ``` **Since** Coin 2.2 ## Member Enumeration Documentation ### enum SoBumpMap::Wrap Enumeration of wrapping strategies which can be used when the bump map doesn't cover the full extent of the geometry. **Enumerator** - ***REPEAT*** Repeat bump map when coordinate is not between 0 and 1. - ***CLAMP*** Clamp coordinate between 0 and 1. ## Constructor & Destructor Documentation ### SoBumpMap::SoBumpMap (void ) Constructor. ### SoBumpMap::~SoBumpMap () \[protected\], \[virtual\] Destructor. Frees up internal resources used to store texture image data. ## Member Function Documentation ### SoType SoBumpMap::getClassTypeId (void ) \[static\] This static method returns the **SoType** object associated with objects of this class. ### SoType SoBumpMap::getTypeId (void ) const \[virtual\] Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting **SoBase**. This is used for runtime type checking and "downward" casting. Implements **SoBase**. ### const SoFieldData \*\* SoBumpMap::getFieldDataPtr (void ) \[static\], \[protected\] *This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.*\ Returns the **SoFieldData** class which holds information about fields in this node. ### const SoFieldData \* SoBumpMap::getFieldData (void ) const \[protected\], \[virtual\] Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are present, returns NULL. Reimplemented from **SoFieldContainer**. ### void SoBumpMap::doAction (SoAction \* action) \[virtual\] This function performs the typical operation of a node for any action. Reimplemented from **SoNode**. ### void SoBumpMap::GLRender (SoGLRenderAction \* action) \[virtual\] Action method for the **SoGLRenderAction**. This is called during rendering traversals. Nodes influencing the rendering state in any way or want to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL override this method. Reimplemented from **SoNode**. ### void SoBumpMap::callback (SoCallbackAction \* action) \[virtual\] Action method for **SoCallbackAction**. Simply updates the state according to how the node behaves for the render action, so the application programmer can use the **SoCallbackAction** for extracting information about the scene graph. Reimplemented from **SoNode**. ### void SoBumpMap::rayPick (SoRayPickAction \* action) \[virtual\] Action method for **SoRayPickAction**. Checks the ray specification of the *action* and tests for intersection with the data of the node. Nodes influencing relevant state variables for how picking is done also override this method. Reimplemented from **SoNode**. ### SbBool SoBumpMap::readInstance (SoInput \* in, unsigned short flags) \[protected\], \[virtual\] This method is mainly intended for internal use during file import operations. It reads a definition of an instance from the input stream *in*. The input stream state points to the start of a serialized / persistent representation of an instance of this class type. TRUE or FALSE is returned, depending on if the instantiation and configuration of the new object of this class type went OK or not. The import process should be robust and handle corrupted input streams by returning FALSE. *flags* is used internally during binary import when reading user extension nodes, group nodes or engines. Reimplemented from **SoNode**. ### void SoBumpMap::notify (SoNotList \* l) \[protected\], \[virtual\] Notifies all auditors for this instance when changes are made. Reimplemented from **SoNode**. ## Member Data Documentation ### SoSFString SoBumpMap::filename Bump map (or normal map) filename, referring to a file on disk in a supported image bitmap format. See **SoBumpMap::filename** for more information. ### SoSFImage SoBumpMap::image Inline image data. Defaults to contain an empty bump map. ### SoSFEnum SoBumpMap::wrapS Wrapping strategy for the S coordinate when the bump map is narrower than the object to map onto. Default value is **SoBumpMap::REPEAT**. ### SoSFEnum SoBumpMap::wrapT Wrapping strategy for the T coordinate when the bump map is shorter than the object to map onto. Default value is **SoBumpMap::REPEAT**. ## Author Generated automatically by Doxygen for Coin from the source code.
