Hi all,

this may be a simple question but I have been trying ages to get this to work without any success. The closest I get is being able to draw all the objects but they have the same colour but the colour is not correct, it seems to be a mixture of the colours of both objects.

What I have is:

A list of vertices with colour data which have data to draw a simple square

What I want to do is:

draw multiple copies of vertices but each time with a different colour. Something like

void setColourInVertices(int col)
{
loop through all the vertices and change the color property to 'col'
}

int i;
for(i=0;i<3;i++)
{
setColourInVertices(Red);
drawVerticesAt(i*20,20);
}

for(i=4;i<6;i++)
{
setColourInVertices(blue);
drawVerticesAt(i*20,20);
}

When doing the above is it important where you place the sceGUStart and sceGUFinsih and sceGUsync functions?.

Can someone post a small example of doing this?.

cheers.

I know this can be easily done by having 2 objects, each with their own vertices but I need to know if it can be done with one object e.g. draw cube at 10,10 in blue then draw cube at 20,20 in red etc.

please help!

Maybe you could be playing with light, ambient color or something like this?

Ok another way of describing the problem is say you needed to draw a grid of tiles 5x5 on the screen, each tile had to be a different color. You had the geometry stored in vertices[] which includes gradient color. How would you do it?

OK. I have found the solution.

Because I was manipulating the same vertex data each time before drawing to the screen I had to add the line:

sceKernelDcacheWritebackAll();

I added this line after every time I changed something in the vertex object and now everything works as it should.
