hi, i am new to opengl ..i just started one simple program of creating a cube with different colors in different sides.. i tried with the following code but it showing yellow color square..some one please tell how to make it 3D..



GLWidget::GLWidget(QWidget *parent) :
QGLWidget(parent)
{
rtri = rquad = 0.0f;
}
void GLWidget::initializeGL()
{
glClearColor(1,1,1,1);
}
void GLWidget::paintGL()
{
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glLoadIdentity();
glTranslatef(1.5f,0.0f,-7.0f);
glRotatef(rtri,0.0f,1.0f,0.0f);
glBegin(GL_QUADS);

glColor3f(0.0f,1.0f,0.0f); // Set The Color To Green
glVertex3f( 1.0f, 1.0f,-1.0f); // Top Right Of The Quad (Top)
glVertex3f(-1.0f, 1.0f,-1.0f); // Top Left Of The Quad (Top)
glVertex3f(-1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f); // Bottom Left Of The Quad (Top)
glVertex3f( 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f); // Bottom Right Of The Quad (Top)

glColor3f(1.0f,0.5f,0.0f); // Set The Color To Orange
glVertex3f( 1.0f,-1.0f, 1.0f); // Top Right Of The Quad (Bottom)
glVertex3f(-1.0f,-1.0f, 1.0f); // Top Left Of The Quad (Bottom)
glVertex3f(-1.0f,-1.0f,-1.0f); // Bottom Left Of The Quad (Bottom)
glVertex3f( 1.0f,-1.0f,-1.0f); // Bottom Right Of The Quad (Bottom)
glColor3f(1.0f,0.0f,0.0f); // Set The Color To Red
glVertex3f( 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f); // Top Right Of The Quad (Front)

glVertex3f(-1.0f,-1.0f, 1.0f); // Bottom Left Of The Quad (Front)
glVertex3f( 1.0f,-1.0f, 1.0f); // Bottom Right Of The Quad (Front)
glColor3f (1.0f,1.0f,0.0f); // Set The Color To Yellow

glVertex3f( 1.0f, 1.0f,-1.0f); // Top Right Of The Quad (Right)

glVertex3f( 1.0f,-1.0f, 1.0f); // Bottom Left Of The Quad (Right)
glVertex3f( 1.0f,-1.0f,-1.0f); // Bottom Right Of The Quad (Right)

glEnd();
rquad-=0.15f; // Decrease The Rotation Variable For The Quad

What you see in the computer is Only 2D so, if you have placen the cube straight ahead you will only see a Square, To see the 3D shape probably try using

glRotatef( 45, 0, 1, 0 );


That will bring a 3D looking model ;)
Thanks for your valuble reply now i am seeing my cube in 3d manner..how to create rotating cube with time

Thanks for your valuble reply now i am seeing my cube in 3d manner..how to create rotating cube with time

That'd be simple, just create a variable and update it, pass it to the Rotate function.

double angle = 0.0;
glRotatef(angle, 0, 1, 0);
//Init...
angle++;
Thanks rotation is also working ..i had one doubt with out rotation ,transalation we can see only one side ..which side we can see with out ratation? and also i given green color to the top face but it is not showing green color..but remaining faces it showing different colors which are all i given in the program..some one please tell me why green is not showing..
That is because you are rotating only in the Y- direction, Try changing to Z or X direction or both.

glRotatef(angle, 1, 0, 0);
// or
glRotatef(angle. 0, 0, 1);
i tried it but i am unable to see the green color..tell me one thing with out rotation and tanslate(static cube)..which face is visible..

If the cubes not rotating , then its obvious that the front face will only be visible.
in the program i given red for front face but with out rotation it showing yellow(which is back face).sorry for irritating you.

Really? It works for me, I tried the code and the front face is red, See if you have projected the matrix properly.
