Texture matrix

[Mr_Blame]

Hello.

In OpenGL there are lots of matrixes for position transforming(e.g. projection, model and texture matrix).

So. We can use this texture matrix for some tricks  e.g. this code will rotate texture not model that contains it:

//OpenGL 1.x style (aka fixed pipeline)

//select texture matrix
glMatrixMode(GL_TEXTUREMATRIX);

//rotate texture
glRotatef(45, 0, 0, 1);

//select model view matrix just in case
glMatrixMode(GL_MODEL_VIEW);
 

P.S. Later I will upload result screenshots. Also I heard about vertex arrays that contain tex cords but it will be maybe hard for some people to set them to make texture rotated.

I don't think we'll add new features that use deprecated OpenGL stuff. You'd better switch to the modern way of doing this, i.e. using a shader.

Okay I understand it, sir.

Also little question in which far future^TM will SFML switch to modern OpenGL aka full graphics programming with shaders?

You might still be alive when it happens.
