| | I was just wondering why do we exactly call glTranste command if its possible just to increase objects x, y or z. And its even stated in this tutorial: http://nehe.gamedev.net/tutorial/particle_engine_using_triangle_strips/21001/ that its even faster to only use Vertex3f() instead of resetting the Modelview Matrix. Anyways, maybe its just something particular … |
| | basically what ive got going is some transformations using my own functions, ive got them working fine still using glMultMatrix but im not allowed to use that for this. im trying to make my own matrix multiplication function and im getting stuck somewhere. the matricies are all one dimensional arrays … |
| | So i was simply following one of the opengl tutorials - http://nehe.gamedev.net/tutorial/loading_and_moving_through_a_3d_world/22003/ So everything works completely fine except one thing, when i load in textures with SOIL lib its not completely correct, but with GLAUX lib it works just fine but i dont prefer using GLAUX. Here is what i … |
| | It seems that i dont fully comprehend how rotation works. So leys say i have a cube and i do this: x = 90.0f; rotatef(x, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); Notice that my code here may be not all correct, its like that just to symbolize what i mean. So by doing … |

| | Hi there, I feel really stupid since I'm a beginner at OpenGL with drawing. Is there something that I'm missing in the code? The line doesn't show up on the screen. Thanks! glClearColor(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f); glBegin( GL_LINES ); glColor3f( 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f ); glVertex3f( 100.0f, 150.0f, 0.0f ); glVertex3f( …  |
| | Hi there, I'm sorry if this is a vague question, but I've just been assigned to create a color animation project with GLSL, and I've never really used it before. The criteria for the assignment is that the animation should depend on object coordinates, vary over time and should use … |
| | I am wondering how to perform a 2D image blit with openGL. I used to use SDL and it was easy, but with opengl I end up making a rectangle with texture coords that is sunk a little into the screen. Is there any way to perform a 'real' blit? … |

| | So the function: [CODE]glLoadIdentity();[/CODE] resets the matrix, so for instance we do this: [CODE]glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); glLoadIdentity();[/CODE] how exactly does this work, it seems that we set the matrix and then just return it to the way it used to be. |
| | I am working on a game making (or really just general program making, but my question applies to games) DLL for opengl. It is almost done but the collision detection is a little bit slow since it has to calculate bounding boxes for each object repeatedly. I was thinking of … |
| | I recently looked at [URL="http://www.songho.ca/opengl/gl_vbo.html"]this[/URL] description of VBOs and a sample implementation of them. When I ran the executable, it was significantly faster with no VBOs than with them. I don't understand why it should be slower with the VBOs than without. Can anybody explain why? |
