How can I use C++ with OpenGL for 3D modeling and textures?

How can I use C++ with OpenGL for 3D modeling and textures?

You can use C++ with OpenGL by setting up a rendering context and using libraries like GLM for math and SOIL for texture loading.

What libraries do I need to get started with OpenGL in C++?

You'll need GLFW for window management, GLEW for handling OpenGL extensions, and GLM for mathematics.

Can you explain how to load textures in OpenGL?

To load textures, you can use libraries like SOIL or stb_image.h to read image files and then upload them to OpenGL using glTexImage2D.

What are some common issues when working with textures in OpenGL?

Common issues include incorrect texture coordinates, forgetting to bind the texture before drawing, and not setting the correct filtering options.
