Last chapter we’ve seen how to set a user clip plane, and how to render the part of the scene that’s under this clip plane to a texture. This chapter, we’ll use the same technique to render the reflection map into its proper texture. This texture is needed, because for each pixel of our water, we need to know the reflective color.
We’ll need another texture to render into, so let’s define these variables:
RenderTarget2D reflectionRenderTarg;
Texture2D reflectionMap;And initialise them in our LoadContent method:
reflectionRenderTarget = new RenderTarget2D(device, pp.BackBufferWidth, pp.BackBufferHeight, 1, device.DisplayMode.Format);Now let’s think about how we can render the reflections into a texture. One thing is for sure: we’ll need to reposition our camera for this, as we would like to see the scene as seen by the water. We just need to know where exactly to position our camera, and where it needs to look at.
The exact location our camera should be position, would be the same X and Z coordinates, but the Y coordinate mirrored over the water plane. Have a look at the following image, where this is visualized:
For each pixel of the water, the reflective color as seen by camera A is the same color as camera B would see. This means that in order to know the reflective colors of each pixel of the water, we have to render the scene as seen by camera B into a texture.
One more problem: as you can see in the image, the part of the terrain under the water obstructs the ray the camera below the water. This means that camera B would only render the bottom of the terrain into the texture! Because of this, we need to clip away all parts of the terrain that are below the water. Luckily, we’ve already seen how to do that in the last chapter.
But first, let’s start by defining the matrix corresponding to camera B, so add this variable to our project:
Matrix reflectionViewMatrix;The UpdateViewMatrix method is where we’ll fill this matrix. As you might know by know, to define a camera matrix, we need a postion, target and up vector for the camera.
We already know the first one: the X and Z coord of camera B is the same as those of camera A, and the Y coord between camera A and the water is the same as the Y coord between the water and camera B. So add this code:
Vector3 reflCameraPosition = cameraPosition;
reflCameraPosition.Y = -cameraPosition.Y + waterHeight * 2;To obtain the target of camera B, we need to do the same trick:
Vector3 reflTargetPos = cameraFinalTarget;
reflTargetPos.Y = -cameraFinalTarget.Y + waterHeight * 2;Now we still need to define the Up vector. This is a bit more mathematically, by taking the cross product. The cross product of 2 vectors is the vector that is perpendicular to both vectors. So, if we take the cross product of the forward and side vector of camera B, we get the upvector of camera B. This is the code that does exactly this:
Vector3 cameraRight = Vector3.Transform(new Vector3(1, 0, 0), cameraRotation);
Vector3 invUpVector = Vector3.Cross(cameraRight, reflTargetPos - reflCameraPosition);Now we have the position, target and up vector for camera B, we’re ready to define its View matrix:
reflectionViewMatrix = Matrix.CreateLookAt(reflCameraPosition, reflTargetPos, invUpVector);With the View matrix of camera B defined, we can create a method DrawReflectionMap where we’ll first define the clip plane. The code below is taken directly from last chapter, where we’ve learned about clip planes:
private void DrawReflectionMap()
{
Plane reflectionPlane = CreatePlane(waterHeight - 0.5f, new Vector3(0,-1,0), reflectionViewMatrix, true);
device.ClipPlanes[0].Plane = reflectionPlane;
device.ClipPlanes[0].IsEnabled = true;
device.SetRenderTarget(0, reflectionRenderTarget);
device.Clear(ClearOptions.Target | ClearOptions.DepthBuffer, Color.Black, 1.0f, 0);
DrawTerrain(reflectionViewMatrix);
DrawSkyDome(reflectionViewMatrix);
device.ClipPlanes[0].IsEnabled = false;
device.SetRenderTarget(0, null);
reflectionMap = reflectionRenderTarget.GetTexture();
}The first line creates the same plane as in the previous chapter, but the 2 other parameters are different: we need to pass in the view matrix of our B camera, and indicate this time we want to render only the things that are ABOVE the clipping plane.
Next, we activate the clipping plane and render target on our grapics card, and clean the render target. Then the Terrain and Skydome are rendered. Important to note is that this time we pass in the reflectionViewMatrix, as we need the terrain and skybox as seen by camera B!
Don’t forget to call this method from the Draw method:
DrawReflectionMap();That’s it for this chapter. Now, when you add this line:
reflectionMap.Save("refr.jpg", ImageFileFormat.Jpg);You should see this in the ref.jpg file:
The result might look a bit strange at first sight, but it’s not: for each water pixel your camera A looks at, you’ll find the reflective color in this map. So let’s move on to the next chapter, where we’ll actually start using these maps!
