Hi, I''ve run into a small problem while coding with opengl. I''m rendering a small arena at 0,0,0 and drawing all triangles with hardcoded coordinates....everything ok so far...now I''m rendering a MS3D-file (code from Nehe! 1:1).... the model is rendered at the exact position via gltranslatef.... but when I render a second model it apears at (model1 coordinates)+model2 coords..... strange.... is there something I didn''t understand with glTranslatef()??... would it help to put the model code between a glpopmatrix()..glpushmatrix() ?? Help would be very good!!! It''s wicked Bye NoMoRe@

Did you use glLoadIdentity() after you translated the world for drawing the first model ...

glTranslatef(x,y,z);
Render_first_model();
glLoadIdentity();
Render_second_model();

or u can do this:

glTranslatef(x,y,z);
Render_first_model();
glTranslatef(-x,-y,-z);
Render_second_model();

as glTranslate changes the axis itself and reset it to the new givin coordinats ..

i hope i did understand your post the right way ...
