Texture applied through Open GL isn't visible when rendering

Question

As the title above says I tried to apply a checkerboard styled texture to the model below here using GLubyte and glTeximage along with glTexCoord2f, I previously applied a material to it that works perfectly and for some reasn my texture won't show up at all, I can't seem to see or figure out why because looking at the examples I'm following everything should be working perfectly.

Answer 1

There are many things wrong with your code.

1: You are using glTexParameterf instead of glTexParameteri .

2: You are not binding a texture object, which means that calls to your glTexImage2D function will be useless, because glTexImage2D relies on the bounded texture of GL_TEXTURE_2D .

3: You are initializing the texture before you call the glut initialization functions. This means that any calls to OpenGL functions will be useless.

You should initialize your texture with something like this

// this should be declared as a global variable
GLuint texture;


glGenTextures(1, &texture); 
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture);

GLubyte image[64][64][3];
int i, j, r, c;
for(i = 0;i < 64; i++){
    for(j = 0;j < 64; j++){
          c = ((((i&0x8)== 0)^((j&0x8))==0))*255;
          image[i][j][0] = (GLubyte) c;
          image[i][j][1] = (GLubyte) c;
          image[i][j][2] = (GLubyte) c;
    }
}
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGB, 64, 64, 0, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, image);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_NEAREST);

and move the initialization of the texture to the init function, just after the call to glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);

Of course, you will need to bind this texture when you render by calling glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture);
