Hi…
I am have created two cubes(one parent one child) The child cube gets created when I do a mouse click.
I want that this child cube when created should give me an effect like as if its coming out from within the parent cube.(Like coming out from the base).
Can anybody suggest me what should I do to give this effect?
Thanks.

First I must tell you, Queries, that your English is not very good. But so is mine (I am Ukrainian) and I hope we will understand each other.
About cubes. It depends on the quality of animation you want to have.
If your application is not very havy at graphics you should simply enable z-buffer and just render child cube first inside of the parent (the child will not be seen, if it is smaller) and then slowly move it outside. Try next code. (The code is very messy, but it shows the idea).
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <GL/glut.h>
struct cube
{
bool active;
float x[3];
float v[3];
float size[3];
float c[3];
float state;
};

If you want something more advanced, then you can not use simple cubes: try the same technology but with something like a box, whitch can be opened (you’ll have to render it in half-opened state).
It all depends on what do you need it for.
