I have been trying to figure out how to do texture mapping for the past 3 hours....I am a bit confused. I have my polygon drawn and everything, but I just don't understand how to do it. I have various files that I can use for the image I want to put on the 3d object, but I don't know how. I looked at the tutorial at NeHe, but half the code in his programs is stuff I have never seen. All the other tutorials I have seen in my books are self generated textures by the program. HOW do I load a file onto the 3d object? Does it have to be a specific file type? If possible could I see some code linking the image to the program? I appreciate all help...

You would probally get more relpies if you told us what API and language you are using. Since you said NeHe, I would assume that you are using OpenGL. But, when you assume something, you make an a$$ out of you and me. So, if you could answer that, then I persume more people would reply.

Thanks,
Chad.
