Texture Mapping OpenGl: opengl, cylinder, mapping

Texture Mapping OpenGl

Hi,
I need to do a texture mapping on a 3D object,
cube mapping,sphere mapping and cylinder mapping.
My program now,includes the ability to load
*.skl format,then *.obj/*.off and then *.wgt(weights
file).
I have hierarchy window which has a tree of all the
skeleton bone heirarchy,i have also sidebar with bitmaps
buttons,and a toolbar with three buttons(cube,sphere,cylinder).
for example:
When i choose cube from toolbar,then one of the bmp file
by pushing the specific bitmap button,and then push a bone from the hierarchy window, after that the chosen bone should be with the specific texture.
Any help with some algorithm,explane about the three
texture mapping technics (projection calculate),opengl code...

Thanks a lot.

Dani333:

I created an openGl 3d maze program that uses texture mapping. I have an init function, where I initialize the settings for appropriate texture mapping:

/* read in texture example */
/* you can try some of the smaller image files (e.g., mandrill2.rgb,
mandrill3.rgb) to see if they are faster */
//read_image("brick.rgb");

/* set up texture environment */
glPixelStorei(GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT, 1);

/* The texture can either modulate or decal the floor */
glTexEnvf(GL_TEXTURE_ENV, GL_TEXTURE_ENV_MODE, GL_MODULATE);
glTexEnvf(GL_TEXTURE_ENV, GL_TEXTURE_ENV_MODE, GL_DECAL);

/* We repeat the textures rather than clamping them to tile the floor*/
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_REPEAT);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_REPEAT);

/* GL_NEAREST might be faster, but you get aliasing */
glTexParameterf(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
glTexParameterf(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);

/* GL_LINEAR should do a better job of interpolating textures */
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);

/* set our fine texture */
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, *components, *width,*height, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, image_texture);

----------------------------------------------

Then when you want to draw the texture object in another function you need to enable it. Here I am texture mapping a floor:

glColor4f(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0);
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
glTexCoord2f(world.xmax, world.zmax);
glVertex3f(world.xmin, -0.01, world.zmin);

glTexCoord2f(world.xmin, world.zmax);
glVertex3f(world.xmax, -0.01, world.zmin);

glTexCoord2f(world.xmin, world.zmin);
glVertex3f(world.xmax, -0.01, world.zmax);

glTexCoord2f(world.xmax, world.zmin);
glVertex3f(world.xmin, -0.01, world.zmax);
glEnd();
glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);

------------------------------------

If you still have questions, or my code is hard to read let me know and I can give you the URL to the full source code of the program.

Hope this helps!!!
