I've just gotten started in 3D programming, and have tried learning as much as I can, and it's been working pretty well. The issue I'm having is, as the title suggests, any objects I try and instantiate in my test environment are only appearing white. This isn't an issue I used to have. In the last tutorial I followed, it covered texture mapping, and everything worked fine, I had a cube that had textures mapped to its' surfaces, and all was right with the world. Only after I followed the next tutorial in the series, here: http://nehe.gamedev...._control/15002/, did I have this problem (NOTE: the "LoadGLTextures()" int in the tutorial is outdated! Using SOIL is a much easier alternative that the person who wrote the tutorial even asks you to use in the texture mapping tutorial). I'm not sure what I added to cause the objects to appear white, but it has to be something in that tutorial I linked.

Now, I've looked all through that tutorial, and I can't see anything that I added that would have caused this. I even copy/pasted the tutorials' code into my project to test it, then deleted it afterwards, and there was still nothing but a white cube being displayed.

Does ANYONE know how to fix this?

Problem solved.

When I was just about to give up on finding the error for now, I found out it had issues with the glGenTextures() command, it won't work for my version of the tutorials' project seeing as he passes as parameter to the section glGenTextures() is in, causing it to create 3 different textures stored in texture[0], texture[1], and texture[2]. Mine doesn't pass any of those parameters, but instead only stores "Crate.bmp" into textures[0], so when it's overwritten by glGenTextures(), it's overwritten with a blank mesh. Bit of an obscure error, but at least I fixed it.
