I need help. I'm stuck and have limited time. I export my 3d scene as Display List Type. Here is my new written header file to acces Gen3DObjectList method from main.cpp. It is Visual C++ 6.0 Console project. I'm calling display list. There is no error given by compiler. But it shows nothing on the screen. How can I run openGL code exported by 3d Exploration as Display List type? /*common.h*/ #ifndef _COMMON_H #define _COMMON_H extern GLint lid; GLint Gen3DObjectList(void); #endif /*common.h*/ /*main.cpp*/ #include <GL/glut.h> #include <math.h> #include "dene.h" const double pi2 = 6.28318530718; void winInit(){ gluOrtho2D(0.0, pi2, 0.0, pi2); glCallList(lid); }; void display(void){ glColor3f(0.0, 0.0, 0.0); glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT); glCallList(lid); }; int main(int argc, char **argv) { glutInit(&argc, argv); glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGBA); glutInitWindowPosition(5,5); glutInitWindowSize(300,300); glutCreateWindow("Coordinate Box"); winInit(); glutDisplayFunc(display); glutMainLoop(); return 0; } /*main.cpp*/

Unless I overlooked something, you never actually create the display list by calling Gen3DObjectList() in our initialization function...

So you winInit() needs to look like this:


[edit]
I'd also suggest to clean the depth buffer, too:

Also consider using double-buffering.

Thanks man, it worked.
But now, I have another problem. My 3D object's texture doesn't look good. I have 2 bmp files as texture, but one of them is not seen.

Make sure the bitmap's dimensions are powers of two.

Dimensions are 256x188. Actually I export 3ds file to opengl using deep exploration. The object is vase with cover. Vase has 2 bmp files. But cover seems white. When I export as App it looks like exactly same as in deep exploration.

The generated app code will use gl commands to scale the bitmap.
Scale the textures to 256x256 for example (using an imaging program).

It didn't work.

I tried another application without bmp textures. Windows Application is working good with colors. But console application is still white. I got display function from windows application file and kinda changed it. Is there any way to do same thing for console application as in windows application.

Here is my main function:
/* dene.h*/
extern GLint Gen3DObjectList(void);
/* dene.h*/

/*main.cpp*/

#include <GL/glut.h>
#include <math.h>
#include "dene.h"

const double pi2 = 6.28318530718;
GLint lid;

void winInit(){

glClearColor(0, 0, 0, 1); // this sets the glClear color
//gluOrtho2D(0.0, pi2, 0.0, pi2);
// glCallList(lid); <-- won't work: lid is not initialized!
lid = Gen3DObjectList();
};

GLdouble gldAspect;

void display(void){
//glColor3f(0.0, 0.0, 0.0); <-- see winInit()
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT|GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
/*glTranslatef(0.0,0.0,0.0);
glCallList(lid);

glFlush();*/ // make sure everything gets executed

int sizex=300;
int sizey=300;

gldAspect = (GLdouble) sizex / (GLdouble) sizey;

glMatrixMode (GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity ();
gluPerspective (30.0, // Field-of-view angle
gldAspect, // Aspect ratio of viewing volume
1.0, // Distance to near clipping plane
10.0); // Distance to far clipping plane

glViewport (0, 0, sizex, sizey);
//
// Clear the color and depth buffers.
//
glClear (GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);

//
// Define the modelview transformation.
//
glMatrixMode (GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity ();
glTranslatef (0.0f, 0.0f, -8.0f);
/*glRotatef (30.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
glRotatef ((GLfloat) nAngle, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
glRotatef ((GLfloat) nAngle2, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
glScalef (nSize+2.5f,nSize+2.5f,nSize+2.5f); */

int mcount=0;
int mindex=0;

glCallList(lid);
//
// Swap the buffers.
//
glFlush();
//SwapBuffers (hdc);

};


int main(int argc, char **argv)

{
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGBA);
glutInitWindowPosition(5,5);
glutInitWindowSize(300,300);
glutCreateWindow("Coordinate Box");
winInit();
glutDisplayFunc(display);
glutMainLoop();
return 0;

}
/*main.cpp*/

I'd suggest you read some OGL/GLUT tutorials first.
You made some mistakes in your display function (e.g. clearing buffers more than once).

I also noticed you tried double-buffering. With GLUT you need to specify GLUT_DOUBLE (or sth. like that, didn't work with GLUT for some years) in glutInitDisplayMode() and call glutSwapBuffers() as
last function in display(). You won't need glFlush() in this case.

I don't know what you are trying to display, but I think ortho mode isn't what you're aiming for. Use gluPerspective() instead.

Hi Patric, I've sent my code to you. I've read glut document, but still my object seems white. If you find any mistake in code please let me know. If you correct it, it's better.
Thanks
