I know, its totally right isnt it, something screwy is going on.
ok, ill get a screenshot.
ok, its a little hard to see what it is, but its actually a "reducted" sphere, the picture in the background is the displacement map ive raytraced (in a few milliseconds ;)) to make the lowpoly model push out into the original sphere. (it may have bugs yet tho, but i havent had the chance to see it working to fix it...)
as you can see the uv's are completely all over the place, but as you can also see my displacement map has the 6 faces of the reducted sphere (its box wrapped) fine.
If I did a normal output, they all tend to point in the same direction?!!?
One thing tho, its a pretty degenerate reduction, as in there is lots of skinny triangles... could that be the problem? (im yet to do a proper gridded reduction to keep all the lowpoly triangles the same size)
Just so you can see I havent made an obvious mistake, heres the whole set of shaders->

Although note If I dont tesselate, the uv and normals are fine.... i can get you a screenshot of that if you dont believe me.
the fact I can raster a completely correct displacement map means the uv information is intact and operational.
(i use the exact same lowpoly buffers to raster the displacementmap as to actually render it tesselated)
Its times like these that really bring me down and make me think im gonna get nowhere with my programming career. :{
More info:
* it doesnt matter how much i tesselate, even at 1, (no tesselation) it still doesnt show me correct uv's or normals...
* if i use one corner of the tri for the uv and normal, its actually slightly more correct?? possibly, well the normal at least starts pointing
around the sphere, the uv pretty much looks clamped tho like that.
If you have no idea, I guess ill try doing something drastic like rewording the shader all over, or maybe change to quad patches, its a pity
it didnt work tho.
you used to be able to fit a game on a disk, then you used to be able to fit a game on a cd, then you used to be able to fit a game on a dvd, now you can barely fit one on your harddrive.
