tutorial 6(texture mapping)
January 09, 2006 04:02 PM
Tutorial 6 shows you how to use texture mapping for one texture. Where is there info on how to load multiple textures into the textureimage[0] array? I seem to be lost trying to figure this out any ideas please? Thank you.

Textures used by your program need to stay in the memory they started in once you load it into OpenGL. In order to load multiple textures, you need to have them all stored in your program's memory individually. You'll probably have to dynamically allocate arrays to do this.
You can keep track of different textures using the "textures" parameter of glGenTextures. Simply call glBindTexture with that parameter to switch the currently-used texture. The "textures" parameter of glGenTextures will basically act as a GL-savvy ID number for the texture.

It's not that much harder than in tutorial 6. I believe in later tutorials, he expands it and shows you how to do it, but in any case, here is the code.
Keep in mind, that any time you want to add a new texture, you must
1. Change the code that initiallizes the variable, for example, if we had wanted to load six textures, the code would read
GLuint texture[6];
2. Change all the numbers in the following lines to the number of new textures.
3. Add the line that shows where the texture is stored, for example, if you wanted to add a sixth texture, that was stored in the data folder name "green.bmp", you would change
to
Hope that helps.
