Projecting a 3D point onto a 2D position on the screen
I tried 4 methods, all that didn't work. Wherever my code is running, the camera moves correctly and the objects move as expected.
I am using SharpDX and my projection matrix is a perspective projection matrix.
I am trying to get the screen position of a 3D point to place the cursor at that point.
These are the 4 methods I tried:
public Vector2 WorldPosToScreenPos1(Vector3 p)
{
Vector3.Transform(ref p, ref View, out p);
Vector3.Transform(ref p, ref Projection, out p);
return new Vector2(
RenderForm.ClientSize.Width * (p.X + 1) / 2,
RenderForm.ClientSize.Height * (1 - (p.Y + 1) / 2)
);
}
public Vector2 WorldPosToScreenPos2(Vector3 p)
{
Vector3.Transform(ref p, ref View, out p);
Vector3.Transform(ref p, ref Projection, out p);
p.X /= p.Z;
p.Y /= p.Z;
p.X = (p.X + 1) * RenderForm.ClientSize.Width / 2;
p.Y = (p.Y + 1) * RenderForm.ClientSize.Height / 2;
return new Vector2(p.X, p.Y);
}
public Vector2 WorldPosToScreenPos3(Vector3 p)
{
Viewport viewport = new Viewport(0, 0, RenderForm.ClientSize.Width, RenderForm.ClientSize.Height);
viewport.Project(ref p, ref ViewProj, out p);
return new Vector2(p.X, p.Y);
}
public Vector2 WorldPosToScreenPos4(Vector3 p)
{
Vector3.Project(p, 0, 0, RenderForm.ClientSize.Width, RenderForm.ClientSize.Height, 1, 10000, ViewProj);
return new Vector2(p.X, p.Y);
}
In all four methods (which give different results) the 2nd position I get is disabled, often by a wide margin. What am I doing wrong?
