hi, i am wondering if i do it correctly, i want to display a square and some textured font, i have to disable the texture to draw my square then turn it back on to display my text, is it a good way to work or there is some other more efficient way to do it? glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D); glBegin(GL_POLYGON); glVertex3f(0.1,0.2,0.0); glVertex3f(0.6,0.2,0.0); glVertex3f(0.6,0.6,0.0); glVertex3f(0.1,0.6,0.0); glVertex3f(0.1,0.2,0.0); glEnd(); glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D); CWriter::Instance()->glPrint(10,10,"Star Wars"); glPrint use textures. thanks Siddim.

One texture enable/disable per frame won''t kill your framerate. But when you have more stuff to render batch them up so you minimize state changes. Also try to awoid use of GL_POLYGON. Look into GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP/GL_TRIANGLE_FAN.

You should never let your fears become the boundaries of your dreams.
