Tutorial 4: Terrain Texturing

This tutorial will cover how apply a single texture to a terrain model using C++ with DirectX 11 and HLSL. The code in this tutorial is based on the previous terrain tutorial.

The easiest way to texture a terrain is just to apply a single texture to each quad in the terrain. However this creates a highly repeatable pattern that doesn't look very good on high poly terrains. The other extreme is to map a single high resolution texture over the entire terrain grid. The down side to this is if the terrain is somewhat sizable the details in the texture get stretched too far and once again creates an unrealistic look to the terrain.

The best solution when using a single texture for terrain is to instead use a high detail texture and map it several times evenly over then terrain grid. The number of times to map it over the terrain is dependent on the amount of detail in the texture itself. You can create the illusion of a much larger terrain by using a texture that has a lot of fine detail in it. As well the reverse applies too so you can use a texture with less fine details and it will change the terrain look to appear smaller. The real key is using a texture that has the right amount of detail and repeating it just the right amount of times to create the terrain look you are going for.

We will start the tutorial by examining the terrain HLSL shader files which have been updated to accommodate textured terrain.

Both the vertex and pixel input structures have a new texture coordinate component.

struct VertexInputType
{
    float4 position : POSITION;
    float2 tex : TEXCOORD0;
    float3 normal : NORMAL;
};

struct PixelInputType
{
    float4 position : SV_POSITION;
    float2 tex : TEXCOORD0;
    float3 normal : NORMAL;
};

PixelInputType TerrainVertexShader(VertexInputType input)
{
    PixelInputType output;
    

    // Change the position vector to be 4 units for proper matrix calculations.
    input.position.w = 1.0f;

    // Calculate the position of the vertex against the world, view, and projection matrices.
    output.position = mul(input.position, worldMatrix);
    output.position = mul(output.position, viewMatrix);
    output.position = mul(output.position, projectionMatrix);

The texture coordinates are now sent into the pixel shader.

    // Store the texture coordinates for the pixel shader.
    output.tex = input.tex;

    // Calculate the normal vector against the world matrix only.
    output.normal = mul(input.normal, (float3x3)worldMatrix);
	
    // Normalize the normal vector.
    output.normal = normalize(output.normal);

    return output;
}

We add a texture shader resource for the terrain texture.

Texture2D shaderTexture;
SamplerState SampleType;

cbuffer LightBuffer
{
    float4 ambientColor;
    float4 diffuseColor;
    float3 lightDirection;
    float padding;
};


//////////////
// TYPEDEFS //
//////////////

Just like the vertex shader file we add a texture coordinate component to the pixel input type structure.

struct PixelInputType
{
    float4 position : SV_POSITION;
    float2 tex : TEXCOORD0;
    float3 normal : NORMAL;
};


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Pixel Shader
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
float4 TerrainPixelShader(PixelInputType input) : SV_TARGET
{
    float4 textureColor;
    float3 lightDir;
    float lightIntensity;
    float4 color;

The pixel shader now starts by first sampling the terrain texture for the pixel at this location.

    // Sample the pixel color from the texture using the sampler at this texture coordinate location.
    textureColor = shaderTexture.Sample(SampleType, input.tex);

    // Set the default output color to the ambient light value for all pixels.
    color = ambientColor;

    // Invert the light direction for calculations.
    lightDir = -lightDirection;

    // Calculate the amount of light on this pixel.
    lightIntensity = saturate(dot(input.normal, lightDir));

    if(lightIntensity > 0.0f)
    {
        // Determine the final diffuse color based on the diffuse color and the amount of light intensity.
        color += (diffuseColor * lightIntensity);
    }

    // Saturate the final light color.
    color = saturate(color);

The texture pixel is combined with the light color to create the final color result.

    // Multiply the texture pixel and the final light color to get the result.
    color = color * textureColor;

    return color;
}

CalculateTextureCoordinates generates texture coordinates for the terrain grid. The new global TEXTURE_REPEAT is used to determine how often the texture should repeat over the grid. We use TEXTURE_REPEAT to calculate the incremental texture coordinates for each vertex in the terrain grid and then store it in the height map array.

Note that since we are using texture coordinates per vertex we will not handle the edges properly. For example if we have a texture that repeats every two quads we would only get two texture coordinates 0.0f and 0.5f. When really we need to have 0.0f, 0.5f, and 1.0f. To handle this issue we just determine when the edge coordinates should be 0.0f or 1.0f when building the vertex array in the InitializeBuffers function.

void TerrainClass::CalculateTextureCoordinates()
{
	int incrementCount, i, j, tuCount, tvCount;
	float incrementValue, tuCoordinate, tvCoordinate;


	// Calculate how much to increment the texture coordinates by.
	incrementValue = (float)TEXTURE_REPEAT / (float)m_terrainWidth;

	// Calculate how many times to repeat the texture.
	incrementCount = m_terrainWidth / TEXTURE_REPEAT;

	// Initialize the tu and tv coordinate values.
	tuCoordinate = 0.0f;
	tvCoordinate = 1.0f;

	// Initialize the tu and tv coordinate indexes.
	tuCount = 0;
	tvCount = 0;

	// Loop through the entire height map and calculate the tu and tv texture coordinates for each vertex.
	for(j=0; j<m_terrainHeight; j++)
	{
		for(i=0; i<m_terrainWidth; i++)
		{
			// Store the texture coordinate in the height map.
			m_heightMap[(m_terrainHeight * j) + i].tu = tuCoordinate;
			m_heightMap[(m_terrainHeight * j) + i].tv = tvCoordinate;

			// Increment the tu texture coordinate by the increment value and increment the index by one.
			tuCoordinate += incrementValue;
			tuCount++;

			// Check if at the far right end of the texture and if so then start at the beginning again.
			if(tuCount == incrementCount)
			{
				tuCoordinate = 0.0f;
				tuCount = 0;
			}
		}

		// Increment the tv texture coordinate by the increment value and increment the index by one.
		tvCoordinate -= incrementValue;
		tvCount++;

		// Check if at the top of the texture and if so then start at the bottom again.
		if(tvCount == incrementCount)
		{
			tvCoordinate = 1.0f;
			tvCount = 0;

LoadTexture is used to load the terrain texture resource into the TextureClass object.

Now that we use texturing the vertex buffer loading has been modified so texture coordinates are now included. However as mentioned at the CalculateTextureCoordinates function all the texture edges are not created since calculations were only done per individual vertex. And vertices can be both 0.0f and 1.0f depending on which triangle they are part of. To handle this we do a quick check to see if the tu or tv coordinates are at the top, bottom, left, or right and then determine if they should be a 0.0f or 1.0f for that particular triangle.

Summary

The terrain is now textured using a repeating texture and this gives it a semi-realistic look when combined with dynamic lighting.


To Do Exercises

1. Recompile and run the program. Move around the terrain to see the effect texturing has.

2. Modify the TEXTURE_REPEAT value. Try values 1, 2, 4, 16, 32, 64.

3. Use your own texture and try the find the right TEXTURE_REPEAT value that works well with your texture.

4. Modify the position of the light to see how it affects the textured terrain.
