« Posted 2012-07-15 23:14:07 »

I'm trying to create a projection matrix to use in my shaders. I've tried to use the algorithm from here(http://openglbook.com/the-book/chapter-4-entering-the-third-dimension/) to create the matrix, but when I multiply it with the model and view matrices that I've created nothing displays on the screen.
This is my translation of the C code.
Sorry if there are syntax errors. I wrote this in Scala and translated it to Java.

public static Matrix4f projection(fov: Float, aspectRatio: Float, near: Float, far: Float) {
Matrix4f out = new Matrix4f();
float yScale = 1.0f / scala.math.tan((fov / 2.0f).toRadians).toFloat;
float xScale = yScale / aspectRatio;
float frustumLength = far - near;
         
float[] tempArray = new float[16];
tempArray[0] = xScale;
tempArray[5] = yScale;
tempArray[10] = -((far + near) / frustumLength);
tempArray[11] = -1;
tempArray[14] = -((2 * near * far) / frustumLength);
         
FloatBuffer buf = BufferUtils.createFloatBuffer(16);
buf.put(tempArray);
buf.flip();
out.load(buf);
return out;
}

//This is the method call
Matrix.projection(60.0f, 800.0f / 600.0f, 1.0f, 100.0f);

//and when I print the matrix that is returned I get this

That xScale doesn't look right. The article says f/aspect....you've interpreted 'f' to be the yScale, but how do you know?

I got yScale for f from the code sample at the top.

I found the problem. I multiplied the matrices in the wrong order.
I used
1  
gl_Position = model * view * perspective * in_Position

when its should be
1  
gl_Position = perspective * model * view * in_Position
