sPHERICAL TEXTURE ON A DOME?

Troubleshooting graphics
1

Hi. Any clues on how to apply a spherical texture on a dome? It seems to me that my texture is applied with cilindrical coordinates by default. Thanks

2

Maybe texture a sphere then use a clip plane to remove the bottom half??

3

Dome is built in in jme and it is an half sphere. My question was about the texture coordinates that applies to it.

4

sphere.setTextureMode( Sphere.TEX_PROJECTED ); --> creates visually stretched texture



or



sphere.setTextureMode( Sphere.TEX_ORIGINAL ); --> Default, I think this is what you are trying to get away from

Thanks basixs. Seems its starting to work using a sphere and Sphere.TEX_PROJECTED.

        ClipState clipState = display.getRenderer().createClipState();

        clipState.setEnableClipPlane(ClipState.CLIP_PLANE0, true);

        clipState.setClipPlaneEquation(0, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0,0);

        rootNode.setRenderState(clipState);
