Water

It''s been a little while since I did something like this, so I might have forgot something. Here is an example of what you will do:

float angle;
float rotate;

init()
{
loadMyTextures();
}

drawStuff()
{
/* Draw stuff in the scene and do whatever else you''re gonna do here */

glMatrixMode(GL_TEXTURE);
glLoadIdentity();
glRotatef(angle, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
glRotatef(rotate, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
glTranslatef(0.0f, 0.0f, -280.0f);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);

// we want the water to be a little transparent
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glDepthMask(GL_FALSE);

glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE);

glColor4f(0.3f, 0.3f, 0.8f, 0.8f);

glPushMatrix();
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureID);
drawCube(); // this will be the cube with a water texture on it
glPopMatrix();

// disable blending stuff
glDepthMask(GL_TRUE);
glDisable(GL_BLEND);

// reset the texture matrix or stuff will be screwed up
glMatrixMode(GL_TEXTURE);
glLoadIdentity();
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);

angle += 0.0005f;
rotate += 0.01f;
}

Now the texture on the cube will look like it''s flowing to the southeast and will be going slowly counter clockwise. Basically what you''re doing when you set the matrix stack to GL_TEXTURE, is telling OpenGL to do these things to all the textures. So, if you don''t reset the texture matrix then it will do the stuff you told it to do to all the other textures. Like I said, I''m a bit rusty on this subject but that''s what I think is happening. Try looking for tutorials on the matrix stack if you want a better explanation. Hope this helped.

That helped a hell of a lot, thanks man. muchly apreciated :]
