我一直在试图得出两个点之间的圆柱体上使用SceneKit球体的外缘。我已经产生这两个点之间的线使用原始形状和OpenGL与SCNRendering代表，但现在我需要产生这两者之间的气缸（当然，不只是两个，而是任意两个3D矢量坐球体的表面上）。我一直对这个约3天直现在，我已经通过了所有我能找到实现四元数要做到这一点了，但因为它的立场，我不能让它开始工作。学术文章，科学的研究，并没有什么，没有什么工作重新调整两个固定点之间的圆柱体。我需要一个算法来做到这一点。
无论如何，这是我最近不工作的代码，但是这是没有预期的结果时的代码中，我通过迄今几乎工作2k行只是一个小片段。我知道我可以移动的东西更先进的像建设自己的SCNProgram和/或SCNRenderer来然后访问GLSL，OpenGL和金属复杂，但是这似乎喜欢的事，应该使用Scenekit和GLKit矢量结构之间的转换和从SCNVector可能结构，但到目前为止，这是不可能的：
码：
下面的代码摄取经纬度坐标和它们投影到3D球体的表面上。这些坐标通过专有功能我建立其中I接收的SCNVector3 {X，Y，Z}准确坐标上我的3D球体的显示返回。我画了两套经纬度之间的坐标线，其中正在使用的图元绘制的线条射穿球的中心。所以，正如我上面提到的，我想这相同的功能，但用气瓶，不是线（顺便说一下，经度和纬度坐标这里列出的是假的，他们是随机生成的但都落在地球表面上）。
drawLine = [self lat1:37.76830 lon1:-30.40096 height1:tall lat2:3.97620 lon2:63.73095 height2:tall];
float cylHeight = GLKVector3Distance(SCNVector3ToGLKVector3(cooridnateSetOne.position), SCNVector3ToGLKVector3(coordinateSetTwo.position));
SCNCylinder * cylTest = [SCNCylinder cylinderWithRadius:0.2 height:cylHeight];
SCNNode * test = [SCNNode nodeWithGeometry:cylTest];
SCNMaterial *material = [SCNMaterial material];
[[material diffuse] setContents:[SKColor whiteColor]];
material.diffuse.intensity = 60;
material.emission.contents = [SKColor whiteColor];
material.lightingModelName = SCNLightingModelConstant;
[cylTest setMaterials:@[material]];
GLKVector3 u = SCNVector3ToGLKVector3(cooridnateSetOne.position);
GLKVector3 v = SCNVector3ToGLKVector3(cooridnateSetTwo.position);
GLKVector3 w = GLKVector3CrossProduct(u, v);
GLKQuaternion q = GLKQuaternionMakeWithAngleAndVector3Axis(GLKVector3DotProduct(u,v), GLKVector3Normalize(w));
q.w += GLKQuaternionLength(q);
q = GLKQuaternionNormalize(q);
SCNVector4 final = SCNVector4FromGLKVector4(GLKVector4Make(q.x, q.y, q.z, q.w));
test.orientation = final;
我试过其他的代码包括此相同种类的方法，其实，我甚至在建的Objective-C自己SCNVector3和SCNVector4数学库，看看我的数学方法比使用GLKit数学产生了不同的价值，但我得到了相同的结果用这两种方法。任何帮助将是真棒，但现在，我不希望跳进什么比SceneKit更加复杂。我不会深入到金属和/或OpenGL为一两个月。谢谢！
编辑：
变量“cooridnateSetOne”和“cooridnateSetTwo”是由迫使一个原始线几何到该节点的另一函数产生SCNNodes，然后将其返回到一个子类实施SCNScene的。
下面是使用Objective-C的整个方法
首先，这里是你如何使用它：
SCNNode * testNode = [self lat1:-35 lon1:108 height1:tall lat2:-35 lon2:30 height2:0];
输入：
1RST位置1RST位置lon1的LAT1 =纬度=的位置1RST经度height1从=地球为1RST位置第二位置lon2的LAT2 =纬度距离=第二位置身高2的纬度=从地球为第二位置的距离
第二种方法创建用于在上述问题的每个位置的SCNVector3点：
-(SCNNode *)lat1:(double)lat1 lon1:(double)lon1 height1:(float)height1 lat2:(double)lat2 lon2:(double)lon2 height2:(float)height2 {
SCNVector3 positions[] = {[self lat:lat1 lon:lon1 height:height1], [self lat:lat2 lon:lon2 height:height2]};
float cylHeight = GLKVector3Distance(SCNVector3ToGLKVector3(positions[0]), SCNVector3ToGLKVector3(positions[1]))/4;
SCNCylinder * masterCylinderNode = [SCNCylinder cylinderWithRadius:0.05 height:cylHeight];
SCNMaterial *material = [SCNMaterial material];
[[material diffuse] setContents:[SKColor whiteColor]];
material.lightingModelName = SCNLightingModelConstant;
material.emission.contents = [SKColor whiteColor];
[masterCylinderNode setMaterials:@[material]];
SCNNode *mainLocationPointNodeTestA = [mainLocationPointNode clone];
SCNNode *mainLocationPointNodeTestB = [mainLocationPointNode clone];
mainLocationPointNodeTestA.position = positions[0];
mainLocationPointNodeTestB.position = positions[1];
SCNNode * mainParentNode = [SCNNode node];
SCNNode * tempNode2 =[SCNNode nodeWithGeometry:masterCylinderNode];
[mainParentNode addChildNode:mainLocationPointNodeTestA];
[mainParentNode addChildNode:mainLocationPointNodeTestB];
[mainParentNode addChildNode:tempNode2];
[mainParentNode setName:@"parentToLineNode"];
tempNode2.position = SCNVector3Make((positions[0].x+positions[1].x)/2, (positions[0].y+positions[1].y)/2, (positions[0].z+positions[1].z)/2);
tempNode2.pivot = SCNMatrix4MakeTranslation(0, cylHeight*1.5, 0);
GLKVector3 normalizedVectorStartingPosition = GLKVector3Make(0.0, 1.0, 0.0);
GLKVector3 magicAxis = GLKVector3Normalize(GLKVector3Subtract(GLKVector3Make(positions[0].x/2, positions[0].y/2, positions[0].z/2), GLKVector3Make(positions[1].x/2, positions[1].y/2, positions[1].z/2)));
GLKVector3 rotationAxis = GLKVector3CrossProduct(normalizedVectorStartingPosition, magicAxis);
CGFloat rotationAngle = GLKVector3DotProduct(normalizedVectorStartingPosition, magicAxis);
GLKVector4 rotation = GLKVector4MakeWithVector3(rotationAxis, acos(rotationAngle));
tempNode2.rotation = SCNVector4FromGLKVector4(rotation);
return mainParentNode;
}
第二种方法使用地球半径和曲率硬编码数字，我展示这只是为了显示总准确率100％所需要的数字，这是它如何工作的。你会想它更改为正确的尺寸为场景，很明显，但这里的方法。这是由http://www.gdal.org/index.html使用的方法的适应。一种解释的在这里找到：http://www.gdal.org/osr_tutorial.html。我很快把这个在一起，但它的工作原理和准确，随意更改数字格式以自己的喜好。
-(SCNVector3)lat:(double)lat lon:(double)lon height:(float)height {
double latd = 0.0174532925;
double latitude = latd*lat;
double longitude = latd*lon;
Float64 rad = (Float64)(6378137.0);
Float64 f = (Float64)(1.0/298.257223563);
double cosLat = cos(latitude);
double sinLat = sin(latitude);
double FF = pow((1.0-f), 2);
double C = 1/(sqrt(pow(cosLat,2) + FF * pow(sinLat,2)));
double S = C * FF;
double x = ((rad * C)*cosLat * cos(longitude))/(1000000/(1+height));
double y = ((rad * C)*cosLat * sin(longitude))/(1000000/(1+height));
double z = ((rad * S)*sinLat)/(1000000/(1+height));
return SCNVector3Make(y+globeNode.position.x, z+globeNode.position.y, x+globeNode.position.z);
}
下面是使用节点层次结构中的快速演示（获得气缸位于使得它到底是在一个点和它的长度是沿着局部Z轴）和约束（以使该z轴看另一点）。
let root = view.scene!.rootNode
// visualize a sphere
let sphere = SCNSphere(radius: 1)
sphere.firstMaterial?.transparency = 0.5
let sphereNode = SCNNode(geometry: sphere)
root.addChildNode(sphereNode)
// some dummy points opposite each other on the sphere
let rootOneThird = CGFloat(sqrt(1/3.0))
let p1 = SCNVector3(x: rootOneThird, y: rootOneThird, z: rootOneThird)
let p2 = SCNVector3(x: -rootOneThird, y: -rootOneThird, z: -rootOneThird)
// height of the cylinder should be the distance between points
let height = CGFloat(GLKVector3Distance(SCNVector3ToGLKVector3(p1), SCNVector3ToGLKVector3(p2)))
// add a container node for the cylinder to make its height run along the z axis
let zAlignNode = SCNNode()
zAlignNode.eulerAngles.x = CGFloat(M_PI_2)
// and position the zylinder so that one end is at the local origin
let cylinder = SCNNode(geometry: SCNCylinder(radius: 0.1, height: height))
cylinder.position.y = -height/2
zAlignNode.addChildNode(cylinder)
// put the container node in a positioning node at one of the points
p2Node.addChildNode(zAlignNode)
// and constrain the positioning node to face toward the other point
p2Node.constraints = [ SCNLookAtConstraint(target: p1Node) ]
很抱歉，如果你正在寻找一种特定ObjC的解决方案，但它的速度更快，我要在OS X斯威夫特游乐场原型此。 （另外，需要较少的CGFloat转换在IOS，因为SCNVector3的元素类型只是Float那里。）
仅供参考更优雅SCNCyclinder实现连接具有给定半径的起点和终点的位置：
func makeCylinder(from: SCNVector3, to: SCNVector3, radius: CGFloat) -> SCNNode
{
let lookAt = to - from
let height = lookAt.length()
let y = lookAt.normalized()
let up = lookAt.cross(vector: to).normalized()
let x = y.cross(vector: up).normalized()
let z = x.cross(vector: y).normalized()
let transform = SCNMatrix4(x: x, y: y, z: z, w: from)
let geometry = SCNCylinder(radius: radius,
height: CGFloat(height))
let childNode = SCNNode(geometry: geometry)
childNode.transform = SCNMatrix4MakeTranslation(0.0, height / 2.0, 0.0) *
transform
return childNode
}
需要以下扩展：
extension SCNVector3 {
/**
* Calculates the cross product between two SCNVector3.
*/
func cross(vector: SCNVector3) -> SCNVector3 {
return SCNVector3Make(y * vector.z - z * vector.y, z * vector.x - x * vector.z, x * vector.y - y * vector.x)
}
func length() -> Float {
return sqrtf(x*x + y*y + z*z)
}
/**
* Normalizes the vector described by the SCNVector3 to length 1.0 and returns
* the result as a new SCNVector3.
*/
func normalized() -> SCNVector3 {
return self / length()
}
}
extension SCNMatrix4 {
public init(x: SCNVector3, y: SCNVector3, z: SCNVector3, w: SCNVector3) {
self.init(
m11: x.x,
m12: x.y,
m13: x.z,
m14: 0.0,
m21: y.x,
m22: y.y,
m23: y.z,
m24: 0.0,
m31: z.x,
m32: z.y,
m33: z.z,
m34: 0.0,
m41: w.x,
m42: w.y,
m43: w.z,
m44: 1.0)
}
}
/**
* Divides the x, y and z fields of a SCNVector3 by the same scalar value and
* returns the result as a new SCNVector3.
*/
func / (vector: SCNVector3, scalar: Float) -> SCNVector3 {
return SCNVector3Make(vector.x / scalar, vector.y / scalar, vector.z / scalar)
}
func * (left: SCNMatrix4, right: SCNMatrix4) -> SCNMatrix4 {
return SCNMatrix4Mult(left, right)
}
谢谢你，Rickster！我已采取它远一点，并提出了阶级出来的：
class LineNode: SCNNode
{
init( parent: SCNNode, // because this node has not yet been assigned to a parent.
v1: SCNVector3, // where line starts
v2: SCNVector3, // where line ends
radius: CGFloat, // line thicknes
radSegmentCount: Int, // number of sides of the line
material: [SCNMaterial] ) // any material.
{
super.init()
let height = v1.distance(v2)
position = v1
let ndV2 = SCNNode()
ndV2.position = v2
parent.addChildNode(ndV2)
let ndZAlign = SCNNode()
ndZAlign.eulerAngles.x = Float(M_PI_2)
let cylgeo = SCNCylinder(radius: radius, height: CGFloat(height))
cylgeo.radialSegmentCount = radSegmentCount
cylgeo.materials = material
let ndCylinder = SCNNode(geometry: cylgeo )
ndCylinder.position.y = -height/2
ndZAlign.addChildNode(ndCylinder)
addChildNode(ndZAlign)
constraints = [SCNLookAtConstraint(target: ndV2)]
}
override init() {
super.init()
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
}
}
我已经在iOS应用成功测试这个类中，使用该功能，其中提请100线（糟糕缸：○）。
func linesTest3()
{
let mat = SCNMaterial()
mat.diffuse.contents = UIColor.whiteColor()
mat.specular.contents = UIColor.whiteColor()
for _ in 1...100 // draw 100 lines (as cylinders) between random points.
{
let v1 = SCNVector3( x: Float.random(min: -50, max: 50),
y: Float.random(min: -50, max: 50),
z: Float.random(min: -50, max: 50) )
let v2 = SCNVector3( x: Float.random(min: -50, max: 50),
y: Float.random(min: -50, max: 50),
z: Float.random(min: -50, max: 50) )
// Just for testing, add two little spheres to check if lines are drawn correctly:
// each line should run exactly from a green sphere to a red one:
root.addChildNode(makeSphere(v1, radius: 0.5, color: UIColor.greenColor()))
root.addChildNode(makeSphere(v2, radius: 0.5, color: UIColor.redColor()))
// Have to pass the parentnode because
// it is not known during class instantiation of LineNode.
let ndLine = LineNode(
parent: scene.rootNode, // ** needed
v1: v1, // line (cylinder) starts here
v2: v2, // line ends here
radius: 0.2, // line thickness
radSegmentCount: 6, // hexagon tube
material: [mat] ) // any material
root.addChildNode(ndLine)
}
}
问候。 （顺便说一句，我只能看到3D对象。我从来没有见过我生命中的“行”：O）
我一直在寻找一个解决方案，使两个点并感谢rickster之间缸，我用他的回答使SCNNode扩展。在那里，我已经添加缺少的条件的可能的气缸取向，以避免其错误的方向相反。
func makeCylinder(positionStart: SCNVector3, positionEnd: SCNVector3, radius: CGFloat , color: NSColor, transparency: CGFloat) -> SCNNode
{
let height = CGFloat(GLKVector3Distance(SCNVector3ToGLKVector3(positionStart), SCNVector3ToGLKVector3(positionEnd)))
let startNode = SCNNode()
let endNode = SCNNode()
startNode.position = positionStart
endNode.position = positionEnd
let zAxisNode = SCNNode()
zAxisNode.eulerAngles.x = CGFloat(M_PI_2)
let cylinderGeometry = SCNCylinder(radius: radius, height: height)
cylinderGeometry.firstMaterial?.diffuse.contents = color
let cylinder = SCNNode(geometry: cylinderGeometry)
cylinder.position.y = -height/2
zAxisNode.addChildNode(cylinder)
let returnNode = SCNNode()
if (positionStart.x > 0.0 && positionStart.y < 0.0 && positionStart.z < 0.0 && positionEnd.x > 0.0 && positionEnd.y < 0.0 && positionEnd.z > 0.0)
{
endNode.addChildNode(zAxisNode)
endNode.constraints = [ SCNLookAtConstraint(target: startNode) ]
returnNode.addChildNode(endNode)
}
else if (positionStart.x < 0.0 && positionStart.y < 0.0 && positionStart.z < 0.0 && positionEnd.x < 0.0 && positionEnd.y < 0.0 && positionEnd.z > 0.0)
{
endNode.addChildNode(zAxisNode)
endNode.constraints = [ SCNLookAtConstraint(target: startNode) ]
returnNode.addChildNode(endNode)
}
else if (positionStart.x < 0.0 && positionStart.y > 0.0 && positionStart.z < 0.0 && positionEnd.x < 0.0 && positionEnd.y > 0.0 && positionEnd.z > 0.0)
{
endNode.addChildNode(zAxisNode)
endNode.constraints = [ SCNLookAtConstraint(target: startNode) ]
returnNode.addChildNode(endNode)
}
else if (positionStart.x > 0.0 && positionStart.y > 0.0 && positionStart.z < 0.0 && positionEnd.x > 0.0 && positionEnd.y > 0.0 && positionEnd.z > 0.0)
{
endNode.addChildNode(zAxisNode)
endNode.constraints = [ SCNLookAtConstraint(target: startNode) ]
returnNode.addChildNode(endNode)
}
else
{
startNode.addChildNode(zAxisNode)
startNode.constraints = [ SCNLookAtConstraint(target: endNode) ]
returnNode.addChildNode(startNode)
}
return returnNode
}
我使用SCNVector3与扩展：
func cylVector(from : SCNVector3, to : SCNVector3) -> SCNNode {
let vector = to - from,
length = vector.length()
let cylinder = SCNCylinder(radius: cylsRadius, height: CGFloat(length))
cylinder.radialSegmentCount = 6
cylinder.firstMaterial = material
let node = SCNNode(geometry: cylinder)
node.position = (to + from) / 2
node.eulerAngles = SCNVector3Make(CGFloat(Double.pi/2), acos((to.z-from.z)/length), atan2((to.y-from.y), (to.x-from.x) ))
return node
}
