For some reason my light seems to rotate around my object as the object rotates does anyone have ideas why. Heres the draw source.

void cls_OBJECT::Draw(void)
{
	glLoadIdentity();									// Reset The Modelview Matrix
		
	glTranslatef(this->x, this->y, this->z);
	
	glRotatef(this->rx, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
	glRotatef(this->ry, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0);
	glRotatef(this->rz, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);

	glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES);
	//draw the triangles
	for( int t_loop=0; t_loop<this->number_of_triangles; t_loop++)
	{
		glColorMaterial(GL_FRONT,GL_DIFFUSE);
		glMaterialfv(GL_FRONT,GL_DIFFUSE, this->triangle[t_loop].diffuse);
		glMaterialfv(GL_FRONT,GL_AMBIENT, this->triangle[t_loop].ambient);
		glMaterialfv(GL_FRONT,GL_SPECULAR, this->triangle[t_loop].specular);

		glNormal3fv(this->triangle[t_loop].norm);
		//one vertex at a time
		for( int v_loop=0; v_loop<3; v_loop++)
		{
			glVertex3f(this->triangle[t_loop].vertex[v_loop].x,
				this->triangle[t_loop].vertex[v_loop].y,
				this->triangle[t_loop].vertex[v_loop].z);
		}//end of vertex loop
		
	}//end of triangle llop
	glEnd();
	
}

well i don't what you want, but maybe this these links will help you.

or you could explane what you want or want the program should do ?

code works fine for me :)

The full program loads and displays models from ms3d and flat shades them.

It works fine except when the object is rotating it looks like the light is following the object.

Did you try it with a rotating object genjix?

I'll check out those links gallit.

Thanks

If you have your light's positions etc in world space then you could try

glMatrixMode( GL_MODELVIEW );
glLoadIdentity();
glLoadMatrixf( &yourViewMatrix );

before you do

vector4 pos;
glLight( light, GL_POSITION, &pos );

the light position is transformed by the current modelview matrix, perhaps the rotated model matrix is being left on the matrix stack from the previous frame's rendering.

Here is the program.

You'll see that the light seems to rotate with the object.

I think you are probably right gooberius
