Hi all, New here, seems like a place full of knowledgable people so hoping someone can help :) My problem is: I am attempting to texture map a scene, and the textures are appearing fine for objects in the Y plane (i.e. "vertical"), but not objects in the X plane - the textures appear to be stretched as if it was one pixel high. An example is: here - you can see the horizontal textures look stretched, but the vertical ones appear fine. (It's the exact same grass texture on all the "land") I'm not quite sure where I am going wrong (although it is likely something stupid!) - each quad has texture coords applied (0,0 in the top left, 1,0 in the top right, etc). The problem disappears if I stop textures being bound to an object - i.e. removing the following lines from my LoadTextures() function: // Texturing Contour Anchored To The Object glTexGeni(GL_S, GL_TEXTURE_GEN_MODE, GL_OBJECT_LINEAR); // Texturing Contour Anchored To The Object glTexGeni(GL_T, GL_TEXTURE_GEN_MODE, GL_OBJECT_LINEAR); (example - here) but this then causes the textures to not move when the viewpoint moves, causing a "swimming" effect as you move through the scene. Another solution I found was to draw the object in the Y plane, and then rotate it to be in the correct position, but I'm sure you'll agree this is far from ideal. I must admit that my knowledge of OpenGL is pretty much from code examples (e.g. NeHE, and the examples for the module for which I am creating this work) and reading around the internet and man pages, so it's possible that there is something important that I am overlooking. If anyone has any ideas about what *could* be going wrong here, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Tom

What are your texture coordinates? What mode are you using? GL_REPEAT or GL_CLAMP? If you want to tile it set it to GL_REPEAT and make sure you set WRAP_S and WRAP_T in the texture setup functions...

Hi Mars999,

Cheers for your help. I wasn't using GL_REPEAT _or_ GL_CLAMP explicitly, so I've added in GL_REPEAT (as that's what I want). My texture coords are between 0 and 1 in both x and y. None of this has fixed it :(

On the off chance that anyone has spare time (and is a wonderful person ;)) I've uploaded an example, test.cc, to demonstrate this (it just draws three quads, and is about as stripped down as I could make it). It's located on YouSendIt, here, as a ZIP containing the source code, the Makefile, a Linux executable, and a texture - about 700k, apologies for it being so big, the texture didn't compress like I hoped it would.

If anyone has the chance to look through the code and identify where I am going wrong, they would be a lifesaver! You'll have to excuse any messy code,... and not mock me too much for making obvious mistakes :) The loader code is more or less NeHe's, modified slightly to mip map them, load more than one at a time, and to anchor the texture to the object (as per my lecturers advice). The drawing goes on in drawTest().

Cheers,
Tom

For now I don't know why you would want to generate tex coords when you are supplying them yourself so delete this

Well, that is a heck of a lot closer to what I was after! Sometimes takes another pair of eyes to spot the obvious, I thought I'd tried removing those lines but obviously not. Thanks so much for taking a look.

Only problem now is getting textures on the cones and cylinders in the actual project, but I'm sure I'll figure that out :)

Thanks a lot,
Tom

Just use the glu Objects and enable texturing on them. Then you won't have to texture them youself its done automatically for you. :)
