Apply texture with separate alpha mask
Author
I've got a texture which looks ok but I also have a second texture which is meant to overlay the first to give it some 'depth'.
The 1st texture is a full colour 'picture', the 2nd is just shades of grey.
I've been back and forth through the Red book to no avail.
Anyone got a clue I could use!?
Thanks.

Have you considered writing a shader to handle this? I'm not sure what functionality exists in plain openGL to achieve that effect, but with a shader I think that should be trivial (and a good learning exercise).
Also are you talking about an alpha map or a depth map? I think alpha channel is typically considered to be a transparency channel, but you sound like you are talking about a depth map or bump map.
If you just start flipping through a few GLSL articles you should be able to work it out I think.

I need to keep this as compatible as I can with old opengl so sadly, shaders are out.
The effect this 'mask' gives is one of light and dark areas (shadows) - if that helps !?

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...
Looky here: www.aerobits.org/shade
the 'mask' image gives the center of the instrument some shading which gives the illusion that it's a sphere - like the real thing.
I've piddled about with blendfunc all evening and can't crack it.
Anyone?

How about multitexturing? I have never used it myself but it seems appropriate for your use:

In graphics, a equation is worth more than a picture :)
A quick tought is use multitexturing (no blending required) and multiply (GL_MODULATE) both texture colors.

My guess is you need to multiply the texels together so my guess is GL_MODULATE for GL_TEXTURE0 and GL_TEXTURE1.
glActivateTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
glTexEnv(........GL_MODULATE);
glActivateTexture(GL_TEXTURE1);
glTexEnv(........GL_MODULATE);
glActivateTexture(GL_TEXTURE0);
glTexEnv(........GL_MODULATE);
glActivateTexture(GL_TEXTURE1);
glTexEnv(........GL_MODULATE);
