Someone there could send me a clue about rendering a cylinder with a hole on it? Thanks in advance.
Create it in some model creation program and load it into opengl.

By the OGL libraries is it not possible?

Do you know if it''s possible to used milkshape3D to do it?

Yes, just in MilkShape create a cilinder and delete part of it...
you don't need milkshape or any other 3d editor.

just create your cylinder (square polygons are MUCH easier than bezier curves if you aren't that good with the maths behind it) and then create another object for the hole. After you do that then just cull out the parts that aren't solid.

Some hints about "cull out" the other object!? In the program is used OGL_Quadratics to render. Probably it will be used a sphere to cull out. Thnx a lot.
