Multitexturing a gluquadric?

OpenGL OpenGL: Basic Coding

How do you multitexture a gluquadric? I can apply a single texture using gluQuadricTexture(pObj, GLU_TRUE);

But multitexturing doesn’t seem to work on quadrics.

I am using this tutorial for reference code:

There is nothing stopping you from multitexturing a quadric.

I’m not sure if this remains true if using gluQuadricTexture…

…use texture objects, bind textures to the correct texture units, setup your texture environments for each one, etc…

should work just fine.

Aeluned,

Well I tried that… Below I’ve included the code that I’m using. Currently it will render the GL_QUADS with both (2) textures.

If I replace glBegin( GL_QUADS );…glEnd(); code with just a simple gluSphere(…) it will only apply the first texture (not both).

  
	if (bRenderedGround) {	// Draw a rendered ground
		
		glColor4f(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
	
		glPushMatrix();
		// 1st Texture Unit
		glActiveTextureARB(GL_TEXTURE0_ARB);
		glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
		glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureArray[GROUND]);	
		glTexEnvf(GL_TEXTURE_ENV, GL_COMBINE_RGB_ARB, GL_MODULATE);
		glTexEnvf(GL_TEXTURE_ENV, GL_TEXTURE_ENV_MODE, GL_REPLACE);

		// 2nd Texture Unit
		if (detail) {

			glActiveTextureARB(GL_TEXTURE1_ARB);
			glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
			
			glTexEnvf(GL_TEXTURE_ENV, GL_TEXTURE_ENV_MODE, GL_COMBINE_ARB);// Combine mode
			glTexEnvf(GL_TEXTURE_ENV, GL_RGB_SCALE_ARB, 2);
			glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureArray[GROUND+1]);

			// Now we want to enter the texture matrix. This will allow us
			// to change the tiling of the detail texture.
			glMatrixMode(GL_TEXTURE);

			// Reset the current matrix and apply our chosen scale value
			glLoadIdentity();
			glScalef((float)8, (float)8, 1);

			// Leave the texture matrix and set us back in the model view matrix
			glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
		}

		glPushMatrix();
		glNormal3f(0, 1, 0);
		glBegin( GL_QUADS ); // Draw the ground.
			glMultiTexCoord2fARB( GL_TEXTURE0_ARB, 0.0f, 0.0f );
			glMultiTexCoord2fARB( GL_TEXTURE1_ARB, 0.0f, 0.0f );
			glVertex3f( -100, 0.0, -100 );

	
			glMultiTexCoord2fARB( GL_TEXTURE0_ARB, 0.0f, 1.0f );
			glMultiTexCoord2fARB( GL_TEXTURE1_ARB, 0.0f, 1.0f );
			glVertex3f( -100, 0.0, 100 );

			glFogCoordfEXT( 0.0f);
			glMultiTexCoord2fARB( GL_TEXTURE0_ARB, 1.0f, 1.0f );
			glMultiTexCoord2fARB( GL_TEXTURE1_ARB, 1.0f, 1.0f );
			glVertex3f( 100,  0.0, 100 );

			glMultiTexCoord2fARB( GL_TEXTURE0_ARB, 1.0f, 0.0f );
			glMultiTexCoord2fARB( GL_TEXTURE1_ARB, 1.0f, 0.0f );
			glVertex3f( 100, 0.0, -100 );
		glEnd();	
		glPopMatrix();
	}

Hmmm, well, i tried it out and it works for me…
it’s probably because you’re no longer sending down the glMultiTexCoord stuff.

try enabling automatic texture coord generation for all texture units
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_GEN_S);
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_GEN_T);

this might yield a mapping that you don’t want but first try that and see if this is your problem.

Some of the older Graphics cards may not support multitexturing…(In other parts of the world where new computers are twice or more expensive)

So, create a function to test for this capability.
