[Solved] Model Created at Runtime Not Visible

[Aaron Symons]

Hi all,

 

I've just started getting back into C++ and Leadwerks and I'm having an issue with a simple task: displaying a model created in code at runtime. The model doesn't display, and all I see is a black screen.

 

If anyone could offer any advice on how to look for the problem I would be very grateful!

 

App.h

#pragma once

 

#include "Leadwerks.h"

 

#undef GetFileType

 

using namespace Leadwerks;

 

class App

{

public:

Leadwerks::Window* window;

Context* context;

World* world;

Camera* camera;

Light* light;

 

Model* box;

 

App();

virtual ~App();

 

bool Start();

bool Loop();

};

 

App.cpp

#include "App.h"

 

using namespace Leadwerks;

 

App::App() : window(NULL), context(NULL), world(NULL), camera(NULL) {}

 

App::~App() { delete world; delete window; }

 

bool App::Start()

{

// Create main window

window = Window::Create("Hello there!", 100, 100, 1024, 768, Window::Titlebar);

 

// Create context

context = Context::Create(window);

 

// Create the world

world = World::Create();

 

// Create camera

camera = Camera::Create();

camera->Move(Vec3(0, 2, -5));

 

// Create a light

light = DirectionalLight::Create();

light->SetRotation(45, 45, 0);

 

// Create a box

box = Model::Box();

box->SetPosition(-4, 0, 0);

 

 

 

return true;

}

 

bool App::Loop()

{

// Close window on 'exit button' or ESC key is pressed

if (window->Closed() || window->KeyHit(Key::Escape))

{

return false;

}

 

Time::Update();

world->Update();

world->Render();

 

return true;

}

 

Many thanks!

You are missing

 

context->Sync(false)

 

right between the render call and the return of the loop.

This call is important, as everything is only rendered to the backbuffer and the buffer is never switched to become front-buffer

Can't believe I forgot about that one!
