uv coordinates ray intersect

Mar 3 2013 9:20 AM
Hello

Im new to programming and  been studying alot about creating ray intersect triangle and ray intersect model methods for xna. Ive come to
understand alot about them, but theres one last thing Ive been trying  to implement, which is having the ray return the uv coordinates of a model(in my case a
heightmap terrain) and despite my research have yet to find a clear cut example of how to do it. the code Ive been trying to modify is below(and links) and was hoping if anyone could help me out.Thankyou

// 0 is as close as possible to the camera, 1 is as far away as possible.
Vector3 nearSource = new Vector3(_CurrentMouseState.X, _CurrentMouseState.Y, 0.0f);
Vector3 farSource = new Vector3(_CurrentMouseState.X, _CurrentMouseState.Y, 1.0f);

// Use Viewport. Unproject to tell what those two screen space positions would be in world space.
// We'll need the projection matrix and view matrix, which we have saved as member variables.
// We also need a world matrix, which can just be identity.

Vector3 direction = farPoint - nearPoint;
direction.Normalize();

// ... and then create a new ray using nearPoint as the source.
