了解 Qt3D 创建的网格

Understanding the mesh created by Qt3D

我创建了一个像这样的 Qt3D 网格:

Qt3DCore::QEntity *newEntity = new Qt3DCore::QEntity();
Qt3DExtras::QConeMesh *mesh =new Qt3DExtras::QConeMesh();
mesh->setTopRadius(0.2);
mesh->setBottomRadius(1.0);
mesh->setLength(2.0);
for(int i = 0; i < mesh->geometry()->attributes().size(); ++i) {
    mesh->geometry()->attributes().at(i)->buffer()->setSyncData(true); // To have access to data
}
newEntity->addComponent(mesh);

创建的网格如下所示:


稍后在代码中,我尝试在 STL binary format 中导出上述网格。为此,我提取了实体的 geometrytransformation 组件:

Qt3DCore::QComponent *compoMesh = nullptr; // place holder for mesh geometry of entity
Qt3DCore::QComponent *compoTran = nullptr; // place holder for mesh transformation of entity
QVector<Qt3DCore::QComponent *> compos = newEntity->components();
for(int i = 0; i < compos.size(); ++i) {
    if (qobject_cast<Qt3DRender::QGeometryRenderer *>(compos.at(i))) {
        compoMesh = compos.at(i); // mesh geometry component
    } else if (qobject_cast<Qt3DCore::QTransform *>(compos.at(i))) {
        compoTran = compos.at(i); // mesh transformation component
    }
}

然后我得到包含顶点位置和法线的缓冲区数据:

Qt3DRender::QGeometryRenderer *mesh = qobject_cast<Qt3DRender::QGeometryRenderer *>(compoMesh);
Qt3DRender::QGeometry *geometry = mesh->geometry();
QVector<Qt3DRender::QAttribute *> atts = geometry->attributes();

现在,我们关注顶点 positions 属性和顶点 normals 属性。我们得到每个 byte offsetbyte stride,我们还检查两者是否使用相同的 data buffer:

for(int i = 0; i < atts.size(); ++i) {
        if(atts.at(i)->name() == Qt3DRender::QAttribute::defaultPositionAttributeName()) {
            byteOffsetPos = atts.at(i)->byteOffset();
            byteStridePos = atts.at(i)->byteStride();
            bufferPtrPos = atts.at(i)->buffer();
        } else if(atts.at(i)->name() == Qt3DRender::QAttribute::defaultNormalAttributeName()) {
            byteOffsetNorm = atts.at(i)->byteOffset();
            byteStrideNorm = atts.at(i)->byteStride();
            bufferPtrNorm = atts.at(i)->buffer();
        }
    }
if(bufferPtrPos != bufferPtrNorm) {
    qDebug() << __func__ << "!!! Buffer pointer for position and normal are NOT the same";
    // Throw error here
    }

然后我使用byte offsetbyte stride提取三角形并将它们写入STL文件。然而导出的 STL 并不好:


我使用相同的代码导出自定义网格的 STL,效果很好。然而,当我使用相同的代码导出 Qt3D 现成的网格时,如 QConeMesh,导出的 STL 是不可接受的。谁能给我一个提示。


更新

如@vre 所述,我将 post 将三角形写入 STL 文件的其余代码。代码比较大,我尽量做到简洁明了:

为了获取三角形位置和法线,我遍历属性并获取存储所有位置和法线的 VertexBuffer 缓冲区:

// I loop over attributes to get access to VertexBuffer buffer
for(int i = 0; i < atts.size(); ++i) {
    Qt3DRender::QBuffer *buffer = atts.at(i)->buffer();
    QByteArray data = buffer->data();
    // We focus on VertexBuffer, NOT IndexBuffer!
    if( buffer->type() == Qt3DRender::QBuffer::VertexBuffer ) {
        // Number of triangles is number of vertices divided by 3:
        quint32 trianglesCount = atts.at(i)->count() / 3;

        // For each triangle, extract vertex positions and normals
        for(int j = 0; j < trianglesCount; ++j) {
            // Index for each triangle positions data
            // Each triangle has 3 vertices, hence 3 factor:
            // We already know byte-offset and byte-stride for positions
            int idxPos  = byteOffsetPos  + j * 3 * byteStridePos ;
            // Index for each triangle normals data
            // Each tirangle has 3 normals (right?), hence 3 factor:
            // We already know byte-offset and byte-stride for normals
            int idxNorm = byteOffsetNorm + j * 3 * byteStrideNorm;

            // Get x, y, z positions for 1st vertex
            // I have already checked that attribute base type is float by: `atts.at(i)->vertexBaseType();`
            QByteArray pos0x = data.mid(idxPos + 0 * sizeof(float), sizeof(float));
            QByteArray pos0y = data.mid(idxPos + 1 * sizeof(float), sizeof(float));
            QByteArray pos0z = data.mid(idxPos + 2 * sizeof(float), sizeof(float));

            // Get x, y z for 1st normal
            QByteArray norm0x= data.mid(idxNorm + 0 * sizeof(float), sizeof(float));
            QByteArray norm0y= data.mid(idxNorm + 1 * sizeof(float), sizeof(float));
            QByteArray norm0z= data.mid(idxNorm + 2 * sizeof(float), sizeof(float));

            // Get x, y, z positions for 2nd vertex
            QByteArray pos1x = data.mid(idxPos  + 1 * byteStridePos + 0 * sizeof(float), sizeof(float));
            QByteArray pos1y = data.mid(idxPos  + 1 * byteStridePos + 1 * sizeof(float), sizeof(float));
            QByteArray pos1z = data.mid(idxPos  + 1 * byteStridePos + 2 * sizeof(float), sizeof(float));

            // Get x, y, z for 2nd normal
            QByteArray norm1x= data.mid(idxNorm + 1 * byteStrideNorm + 0 * sizeof(float), sizeof(float));
            QByteArray norm1y= data.mid(idxNorm + 1 * byteStrideNorm + 1 * sizeof(float), sizeof(float));
            QByteArray norm1z= data.mid(idxNorm + 1 * byteStrideNorm + 2 * sizeof(float), sizeof(float));

            // Get x, y, z positions for 3rd vertex
            QByteArray pos2x = data.mid(idxPos  + 2 * byteStridePos + 0 * sizeof(float), sizeof(float));
            QByteArray pos2y = data.mid(idxPos  + 2 * byteStridePos + 1 * sizeof(float), sizeof(float));
            QByteArray pos2z = data.mid(idxPos  + 2 * byteStridePos + 2 * sizeof(float), sizeof(float));

            // Get x, y, z for 3rd normal
            QByteArray norm2x= data.mid(idxNorm + 2 * byteStrideNorm+ 0 * sizeof(float), sizeof(float));
            QByteArray norm2y= data.mid(idxNorm + 2 * byteStrideNorm+ 1 * sizeof(float), sizeof(float));
            QByteArray norm2z= data.mid(idxNorm + 2 * byteStrideNorm+ 2 * sizeof(float), sizeof(float));

            // Convert x, y, z byte arrays into floats
            float floatPos0x;
            if ( pos0x.size() >= sizeof(floatPos0x) ) {
                floatPos0x = *reinterpret_cast<const float *>( pos0x.data() );
            }
            float floatPos0y;
            if ( pos0y.size() >= sizeof(floatPos0y) ) {
                floatPos0y = *reinterpret_cast<const float *>( pos0y.data() );
            }
            float floatPos0z;
            if ( pos0z.size() >= sizeof(floatPos0z) ) {
                floatPos0z = *reinterpret_cast<const float *>( pos0z.data() );
            }

            // Do the rest of byte-array to float conversions:
            // norm0x=>floatNorm0x, norm0y=>floatNorm0y, norm0z=>floatNorm0z

            // norm2x=>floatNorm2x, norm2y=>floatNorm2y, norm2z=>floatNorm2z

            // Compose positions matrix before applying transformations
            // I'm going to use `QMatrix4x4` but I have 3 vertices of 3x1
            // Therefore I have to fill out `QMatrix4x4` with zeros and ones
            // Please see this question and its answer: 
            QMatrix4x4 floatPos4x4 = QMatrix4x4(
                floatPos0x, floatPos1x, floatPos2x, 0,
                floatPos0y, floatPos1y, floatPos2y, 0,
                floatPos0z, floatPos1z, floatPos2z, 0,
                1         , 1         , 1         , 0
            );

            // Apply transformations to positions:
            // We already have transformations component `compoTran` from previous code:

            // Get new positions after applying transformations:

            float newFloatPos2x = newFloatPos4x4(0,2);
            float newFloatPos2y = newFloatPos4x4(1,2);
            float newFloatPos2z = newFloatPos4x4(2,2);

            // Convert all the floats (after applying transformations) back to byte array:
            QByteArray newPos0x( reinterpret_cast<const char *>( &newFloatPos0x ), sizeof( newFloatPos0x ) );

            // Write the triangle to STL file
            // Note that STL file needs a header which is written in another section of code
            // Note that STL file needs total number of triangles which is written in another section of code
            // Note that STL file needs only one normal vector for each triangle, but here we have 3 normals (for 3 vertices), therefore I'm writing only the 1st normal to STL (is it OK?!)
            // `baStl` is a byte-array containing all the STL data
            // `baStl` byte-array is written to a file in another section of the code

            tempBuffer.close();
        }
    }
}

以上代码非常适合自定义网格。我的意思是,当我将一个 STL 文件导入到我的 Qt3D 应用程序中,然后再次将其导出为 STL 时,导出的 STL 很好 。问题是:当创建像 QConeMesh 这样的 Qt3D 现成网格时,导出的 STL 被搞砸了 ,我的意思是整体几何没问题,但三角形被弄乱了如上图所示

我的代码在尝试导出 QConeMesh 时记录以下值。可以看出,法向量具有 单位大小 这表明它们实际上是法向量:

将我的评论重新表述为答案:

Qt3D 默认几何主要由至少两个缓冲区组成,vertexBuffer 包含顶点、纹理坐标以及法线,indexBuffer 包含形成三角形或 triangleStrip 的索引。要访问 vertexBuffer 中的顶点或法线,您首先要从 indexBuffer 中查找三个连续索引的序列,并在考虑 vertexSize、byteStride 和 byteOffset 的情况下计算 vertexBuffer 中的偏移量。

要在布局 [vertexCoords, textureCoords, normalCoords] 的 vertexBuffer 中访问 vertexCoord posx(GeometryRenderer 是 primitiveType Triangles),那么 vertexBufferIndex 的计算将是:

vertexBufPtr + indexBuffer(i) * byteStride + byteOffsetPos

和第一个法线坐标

vertexBufPtr + indexBuffer(i) * byteStride + byteOffsetNormal

byteStride 等于 8 * sizeof(float),byteOffsetPos 等于 0,byteOffsetNormal 等于 5 * sizeof(float)。
