I am quite new to Collada 1.4.1 but have learned enough to render 3D scenes with OpenTK using colours instead of textures. This is where I seem to be a little confused and perhaps missing the documentation on this issue. The example file I am using has a list of images which are used as the basis for mapping textures. In OpenGL (Mother of OpenTK) they tell you to map onto a standard unit square (0,0) -> (1,1) and with scaling you can map an n x m pixel image onto this. I realise Collada must be different as in this following fragment the S,T pair is out of this range:-
<source id="ID574">
<float_array id="ID577" count="196">8.783203299153387 -4.388240037266483 47.57835529915261 9.936521619708513 ... </float_array>
<technique_common>
<accessor count="98" source="#ID577" stride="2">
<param name="S" type="float" />
<param name="T" type="float" />
</accessor>
</technique_common>
</source>
Tracing through effects,effect_instances, materials and material_instances we finally end up with referencing in 2D mode a texture image:-
<image id="ID568">
<init_from>untitled/texture4.jpg</init_from>
</image>
The size of this image is 172 x 128 pixels (width x height)
Quite clearly the S,T coordinates do not seem to be applicable to refering to a unit square reference frame or the image reference frame directly as the negative coordinates suggest.
I would be most grateful if someone could direct me to how to link up the image to the texcoord S,T pairs as referenced in the Collada data files.
Many thanks
