How do you get realistic textures when shading graphs?

1 view (last 30 days)
x = @(r, t) r.*cos(t);
y = @(r, t) r.*sin(t);
z = @(r) 3.*r;
r = linspace(0, 2, 30);
t = linspace(0, 2*pi, 15);
[R, T] = meshgrid(r,t);
X = x(R,T);
Y = y(R,T);
Z = z(R);
surf(X, Y, Z)
hold on
x = @(r, t, p) r.*cos(t).*sin(p);
y = @(r, t, p) r.*sin(t).*sin(p);
z = @(r, p) r.*cos(p) + 6;
r = 2;
t = linspace(0, 2*pi, 100);
p = linspace(0, pi/2, 100);
[T, P] = meshgrid(t, p);
X = x(r, T, P);
Y = y(r, T, P);
Z = z(r, P);
surf(X, Y, Z)
shading interp
hold off
axis off
mycolors = [0.9 0.66 0.4;
0.9 0.66 0.4;
0.9 0.66 0.4;
0.9 0.66 0.4;
0.9 0.66 0.4;

0.635 0.078 0.184;

colormap(mycolors)

This is the code for an ice-cream shaped 3D graph. I would like to colour/shade the graph to look like a realistic ice cream but I cannot seem to find any information about how this is done if anyone can please help me.

I am not certain what result you want.
One option is to interpolate the ‘mycolors’ matrix —
x = @(r, t) r.*cos(t);
y = @(r, t) r.*sin(t);
z = @(r) 3.*r;
r = linspace(0, 2, 30);
t = linspace(0, 2*pi, 15);
[R, T] = meshgrid(r,t);
X = x(R,T);
Y = y(R,T);
Z = z(R);
surf(X, Y, Z)
hold on
x = @(r, t, p) r.*cos(t).*sin(p);
y = @(r, t, p) r.*sin(t).*sin(p);
z = @(r, p) r.*cos(p) + 6;
r = 2;
t = linspace(0, 2*pi, 100);
p = linspace(0, pi/2, 100);
[T, P] = meshgrid(t, p);
X = x(r, T, P);
Y = y(r, T, P);
Z = z(r, P);
surf(X, Y, Z)
shading interp
hold off
axis off
icecream = [0.222 0.184 0.135;
0.635 0.078 0.184;
1 0 1]; % Original 'icecream' Part
icecreami = interp1((0:2), icecream, (0:0.1:2)); % Interpolate
mycolors = [0.9 0.66 0.4;
0.9 0.66 0.4;
0.9 0.66 0.4;
0.9 0.66 0.4;
0.9 0.66 0.4;
icecreami];
mycolors = [repmat(mycolors(1,:),50,1);
icecreami]; % New 'mycolors' Matrix
colormap(mycolors)
axis equal
shading('interp')
See the documentation on the interp1 function for detailed information on it.

I just now remembered that the Lighting Overview may provide some help in working with the lighting propperties of your surface object. I am not experimenting with them here, because I am not certain what you want to do.

Sorry - I have no MATLAB code for bump mapping.
