Simple texture to Cube

OpenGL ES for iPhone

If anyone can see where I'm screwing up, please comment.

So far I've been able to draw a cube with colored sides (same color on opposite sides). I've also got it rotating.

I am able to load the texture, I'm pretty sure it's loading just fine.

The problem comes when I attempt to draw the texture. Specifically, the problem appears to be when I change the parameters of glTexImage2D.

I'm loading a PNG file, so the parameters should be as such:

Code:

CGImageRef newImage = [UIImage imageNamed:fileName].CGImage;

width = CGImageGetWidth(newImage);

height = CGImageGetHeight(newImage);

...

glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA, width, height, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, imageData);

...

glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);

glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);

If I change either of the format parameters to pretty much anything, it should break the texturing because PNG is a ARGB format, right?. Also, if I comment out the glTexParameter functions, it should also break it, right?.

Well, with this code just how it is, nothing draws at all. If I "break" the texturing by changing the format or commenting out the filtering functions, it draws the cube with only the colors.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

You've heard of glGenTextures and glBindTexture, right?

Yes, that's in the ... part of the code.

Here, I'll just paste it all.

Code:

CGImageRef newImage;

GLubyte *imageData;

size_t width, height;

newImage = [UIImage imageNamed:fileName].CGImage;

width = CGImageGetWidth(newImage);

height = CGImageGetHeight(newImage);

if(newImage)

{

    imageData = (GLubyte *)malloc(width * height *4);

    memset(imageData, 0, sizeof(imageData));

        // GLuint textureObjects[1]; // member data

    glGenTextures(1, textureObjects);

    glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureObjects[0]);

        glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA, width, height, 0, GL_RGBA, 

                     GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, imageData);

    free(imageData);

    imageData = 0;

    glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);

    glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);

    glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);

    glBlendFunc(GL_ONE, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);

    glEnable(GL_BLEND);

}

The entire block of memory for imageData is always 0. That's a clue but I don't know what to do about it.

You need to draw your CGImage into imageData using a CGBitmapContext. There's Apple sample code that shows how to do this; why not follow that?

Would you mind posting your code? I'm trying to display a cube and am having trouble converting NEHE and other samples from C++ to Objective-C.

Thanks!
