Texture/projection matrices

[DoG4]

Is there any darn tutorial out there which explains how to project textures out there? All I have found was articles which say that you need to apply a texture matrix and so forth (as in the redbook), but no mention on how to get that matrix. I beleive to have a good understanding of object matrices, but the projection matrices are just a book with seven seals.

cheers,

I quite agree ... I've been having trouble with these projection matrix /texture stack matters lately. It appers everyone concentates on explaining the concept of vertex transformation at the expense of texture transformation ...

Anyways here's what I've found so far ... I hope it helps you more than it has helped me ...

Thanks, it seems useful. I have just shortly checked them. However, I am still looking for a pictorial description, which actually shows how the matrices are calculated.

I know what you mean ... I'm having the same problem as well ... never the less here are a few more links; unfortunately they do not attempt to take us DOWN THE TEXTURE PIPELINE http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/frown.gif ...

Wouldnt it be lovely if someone wrote an article about A TRIP DOWN THE TEXTURE PIPELINE ... ? ... we've heared so much about the object/vertex pipeline
