Hi, just a quick question more about semantics than syntax but here we go. I am currently using JOGL and was looking into how you simply import an image into OpenGL using Java. I managed to find this website "Jumping into JOGL" where it talks about having to flip the image so that it is displayed the right way in OpenGL when it is read in. Now I am wondering if I could maybe instead ignore this step and simply use a different texture coordinate system. By using glTexCoord for example I can simply display the texture the right way up, as in making the top left be (0,0). Is this similar to the question "Do I move the camera or the scene" where it doesn't really matter as long as I am consistent or is one way more effective than the other? Thanks again

Thanks for your reply skovron,
It was just one of those questions where I was more worried about the unknown effects of a certain method over what I knew already.
Thankfully your answer was reassuring and something I was kind of expecting but good point about the image format. If things do get busy I can always just save the textures as being upside down.

Thanks again
