In opengl, lets say you wanted a beach picture.
Do you have to make that from scratch or is there a function (using glut or not) that allows you to open the folder, (the picture), and then distort that into your program.
I'm a little confused, your answer will help
Thanks

i'm new to opengl too, so i'm not sure how much help this will be.
in my opengl book, it talks about defining terrains and drawing terrains using texture-mapping features. i was unable to find anything in regards to embedding images.
it could be possible, but I have been unable to find it. i wish i could have been of more help.

The only way to 'embed' an image as you say, is to apply a texture to a quad.
whats a quad?
lol
Go read an OpenGL tutorial.
Umm, I recommend you buy the book from Gamedev.net. It will answer all your questions.Originally Posted by jaylc185
