what formula can i use to calculate normal for vertex??
i use this parametric formula for my object:
x=1.6f*(cos(0.5*angle1)*cos(0.5*angle1)*cos(0.5*an gle1));
y=1.6f*(cos(angle2)*sin(0.5*angle1)*cos(angle2)*si n(0.5*angle1)*cos(angle2)*sin(0.5*angle1));
z=1.6f*sin(angle2)*sin(0.5*angle1);

can anyone pls give me example how to use parametric function in opengl??i put it under double loop and i failed to get good shape. i just started studying com graphics this week.
