Loading textures

[Marbi]

Hi,

I was wondering if you have a simple C/C++ function(s) to load 2D textures with GLUT.

All I found was NeHe's texture tutorial, they have Cocoa code - the thing is that I don't feel like learning objective C righ now...

If u got what I need, email me! Thanks a lot!

If running on Windows or IRIX you can use the Image Format Library from SGI. It supports numerous formats (e.g. PNG, JPG, TIFF, GIF, SGI, etc.). I wish there was a version for Linux.

I also have a the source to load the SGI formats (e.g. INT, INTA, RGB, RGBA) if interested. It was extracted/extended from Brian Paul's Mesa 3D library.

The fact that this is on the Mac board suggests he's not using Windows or IRIX ;)

If you don't mind mac-specific (QuickTime), try this: http://onesadcookie.is-a-geek.net/~keith/QTValuePak.tar.bz2

Angus Dorbie referred me to this image library:

Last I tried to build OpenIL, it was totally broken on the Macintosh (ie. it was going to take several hours work to fix it even to compile; not an effort I wanted to make when QuickTime just works). Is the situation any better these days?
