问题
I'm trying to create the middle half of a sphere. Basically to create a sphere, stack numbers and slice numbers are given, and there are two variables phi (for slices) and theta (for stacks) responsible for how much to progress. And the process is divided into creating bottom cap, body, and top cap (as seen below). To achieve middle half (theta of middle 50% as below), we need to omit the caps, and somehow modify the body. I was playing around with stack numbers (1/4*stackNumbers to 3/4*stackNumbers) but didn't give the result I wanted.
How should I modify the sphere generation to achieve the middle half (pi/4 <theta <pi*3/4)? My overall problem is how can I split the sphere into 3 different parts upper 25%, middle 50%, and bottom 25%? (25% in terms of angle, i.e. theta)
Here is the popular code for generating a sphere programmatically:
private void generateSphere(int stackNumber, int sliceNumber, boolean facingOut) {
int capVertexNumber = 3 * sliceNumber;
int bodyVertexNumber = 4 * sliceNumber * (stackNumber - 2);
int vertexNumber = (2 * capVertexNumber) + bodyVertexNumber;
int triangleNumber = (2 * capVertexNumber) + (6 * sliceNumber * (stackNumber - 2));
vertices = new float[3 * vertexNumber];
normals = new float[3 * vertexNumber];
texCoords = new float[2 * vertexNumber];
indices = new char[triangleNumber];
// bottom cap
// createCap(stackNumber, sliceNumber, false, facingOut);
// body
createBody(stackNumber, sliceNumber, facingOut);
// top cap
createCap(stackNumber, sliceNumber, true, facingOut);
}

回答1:
The code here is using spherical coordinates to calculate the sphere. theta is the variable that represents the up/down coordinate that you're interested in, and theta goes from 0 to PI. You want to go from PI/4 to 3PI/4. stackNumbers simply represent the number of divisions in the sphere, since you can see that it is used as a denominator for stack, which is the wrong variable to change. So you can make the following changes to the code instead. From:
double theta0 = stackPercentage0 * Math.PI;
double theta1 = stackPercentage1 * Math.PI;
to:
double startTheta = Math.PI / 4;
double endTheta = 3 * Math.PI / 4;
double theta0 = stackPercentage0 * (endTheta - startTheta) + startTheta;
double theta1 = stackPercentage1 * (endTheta - startTheta) + startTheta;
And since you aren't using the caps you need to change the start and end stack numbers to reflect that:
for (int stack = 1; stack < stackNumber - 1; stack++) { // old
for (int stack = 0; stack < stackNumber; stack++) { // new
Also, you because you have more body faces now, you need to update the appropriate container for them. Replace (stackNumber - 2) with (stackNumber - 1).
