- I am making a game using JavaFX and the Fxyz library. I have chunks which are made of `Point3D`'s, these points are then passed to a ScatterMesh and that is used to generate a TriangleMesh so I can map textures to it. Which is what the below code does:
- ```
- //Cube object extends Point3D
- private final List<Cube> chunk = new ArrayList<>();
- private TriangleMesh mesh;
- /**
- * Iterates through a chunks points and creates a chunk mesh based on which points are active.
- */
- public void updateMesh() {
- //Retrieving active vertices that should be rendered
- List<Cube> cubes = new ArrayList<>();
- for (Cube value : chunk) {
- if (value.isActive()) {
- cubes.add(value);
- }
- }
- //Mesh creation
- if (cubes.size() > 0) {
- List<Point3D> pCubes = new ArrayList<>(cubes);
- //Defining block texture atlas
- PhongMaterial mat = new PhongMaterial();
- mat.setDiffuseMap(new Image("file:src/main/resources/textures.png"));
- //Scatter mesh to be converted to triangle mesh
- ScatterMesh scatter = new ScatterMesh(pCubes, 1);
- scatter.setMarker(MarkerFactory.Marker.CUBE);
- //Triangle mesh creation
- mesh = (TriangleMesh) scatter.getMeshFromId("scatter").getMesh();
- mesh.setVertexFormat(VertexFormat.POINT_TEXCOORD);
- float[] newTex = { //512x512 image file with a 16x16 texture
- 0f, 0f, //upper left corner
- 0f, 0.03125f,
- 0.03125f, 0.03125f, //lower right corner
- 0.03125f, 0f,
- };
- //sets texture coords for faces. Every 12 face elements = 2 triangular
- //faces = 1 square of a cube, see trianglemesh docs
- for (int i = 1; i < mesh.getFaces().size(); i += 12) {
- for (int j = 0; j < cubes.size(); j++) {
- //every other element in face array is a texture coordinate.
- if (cubes.get(j).getType().equals(BlockType.DEFAULT)) {
- //triangle1
- mesh.getFaces().set(i, 0);
- mesh.getFaces().set(i + 2, 1);
- mesh.getFaces().set(i + 4, 3);
- //triangle2
- mesh.getFaces().set(i + 6, 3);
- mesh.getFaces().set(i + 8, 1);
- mesh.getFaces().set(i + 10, 2);
- } else {
- mesh.getFaces().set(i, 0);
- mesh.getFaces().set(i + 2, 0);
- mesh.getFaces().set(i + 4, 0);
- mesh.getFaces().set(i + 6, 0);
- mesh.getFaces().set(i + 8, 0);
- mesh.getFaces().set(i + 10, 0);
- }
- }
- }
- mesh.getTexCoords().setAll(newTex);
- scatter.setId("scatter");
- setCache(true);
- setDrawMode(DrawMode.FILL);
- setCullFace(CullFace.BACK);
- setMesh(mesh);
- setMaterial(mat);
- }
- }
- ```
The resulting mesh view looks very blurry and low quality and the square faces have transparent gaps in between them if you look closely, is there any way to improve this?:![Image showing blurry texture](https://software.codidact.com/uploads/22je5rbw94ez85jwrx5svbxm3zqd)

How would I avoid these blurry textures mapped to this TriangleMesh?
I am making a game using JavaFX and the Fxyz library. I have chunks which are made of `Point3D`'s, these points are then passed to a ScatterMesh and that is used to generate a TriangleMesh so I can map textures to it. Which is what the below code does: ``` //Cube object extends Point3D private final List<Cube> chunk = new ArrayList<>(); private TriangleMesh mesh; /** * Iterates through a chunks points and creates a chunk mesh based on which points are active. */ public void updateMesh() { //Retrieving active vertices that should be rendered List<Cube> cubes = new ArrayList<>(); for (Cube value : chunk) { if (value.isActive()) { cubes.add(value); } } //Mesh creation if (cubes.size() > 0) { List<Point3D> pCubes = new ArrayList<>(cubes); //Defining block texture atlas PhongMaterial mat = new PhongMaterial(); mat.setDiffuseMap(new Image("file:src/main/resources/textures.png")); //Scatter mesh to be converted to triangle mesh ScatterMesh scatter = new ScatterMesh(pCubes, 1); scatter.setMarker(MarkerFactory.Marker.CUBE); //Triangle mesh creation mesh = (TriangleMesh) scatter.getMeshFromId("scatter").getMesh(); mesh.setVertexFormat(VertexFormat.POINT_TEXCOORD); float[] newTex = { //512x512 image file with a 16x16 texture 0f, 0f, //upper left corner 0f, 0.03125f, 0.03125f, 0.03125f, //lower right corner 0.03125f, 0f, }; //sets texture coords for faces. Every 12 face elements = 2 triangular //faces = 1 square of a cube, see trianglemesh docs for (int i = 1; i < mesh.getFaces().size(); i += 12) { for (int j = 0; j < cubes.size(); j++) { //every other element in face array is a texture coordinate. if (cubes.get(j).getType().equals(BlockType.DEFAULT)) { //triangle1 mesh.getFaces().set(i, 0); mesh.getFaces().set(i + 2, 1); mesh.getFaces().set(i + 4, 3); //triangle2 mesh.getFaces().set(i + 6, 3); mesh.getFaces().set(i + 8, 1); mesh.getFaces().set(i + 10, 2); } else { mesh.getFaces().set(i, 0); mesh.getFaces().set(i + 2, 0); mesh.getFaces().set(i + 4, 0); mesh.getFaces().set(i + 6, 0); mesh.getFaces().set(i + 8, 0); mesh.getFaces().set(i + 10, 0); } } } mesh.getTexCoords().setAll(newTex); scatter.setId("scatter"); setCache(true); setDrawMode(DrawMode.FILL); setCullFace(CullFace.BACK); setMesh(mesh); setMaterial(mat); } } ``` The resulting mesh view looks very blurry and low quality and they have transparent gaps in between the faces if you look closely, is there any way to improve this?:![Image showing blurry texture](https://software.codidact.com/uploads/22je5rbw94ez85jwrx5svbxm3zqd)
