hi, i have a short question about lesson18/gluSphere. i do not understand wich is the exact code wich passes the texture to the sphere. i think it comes from "quadratic" where "quadratic" is (must?) a quadratic texture "streched" over a sphere ? yes,my english sux.

gluQuadricTexture(quadratic, GL_TRUE);
// Create Texture Coords (NEW)

This is the line that does it. It''s in the init function

thx.however i still don´t get it..

quadratic = gluNewQuadric();
gluQuadricNormals(quadratic, GLU_SMOOTH);
gluQuadricTexture(quadratic, GL_TRUE);

so gluQuadricNormals and gluQuadricTexture are given functions ?
where gluQuadricTexture is just a "description" of the bitmap-format ?

So at the beginning,i have a wall.bmp. At the end it is stored as a gluQuadricTexture in quadratic , Yes ? But i can not figure out what´s between..

also is gluQuadricTexture only used for round onjects ?

like this:

/* Get handel to quadratic */quadratic = gluNewQuadric();/* pass handel of quadratic and set its normal generation to smooth */gluQuadricNormals(quadratic, GLU_SMOOTH);/* pass hanled of quadratic and enable textue coord generation */gluQuadricTexture(quadratic, GL_TRUE);/* pass handel of texture and bind texture to anything that is subsequently drawn */glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture[filter]);/* pass handel of quadratic and use it to draw a shpere type quadratic */gluSphere(quadratic,1.3f,32,32); 

that help you??

yes it did. i really should learn more english..
