hi,
i can display a bitmap as a background using glDrawPixel, i can display a textured object by the usual way, but: how can i display a bitmap as a background and, for example, a rotating textured cube over it ?
I dont want to use a quad for the background…is it possible ?

many thx
Luca

Right off hand I have to say NO.

Making a quad is the easy way and I don’t think it would be that much speed decrease.
