JOGL - 3D Cube

In the previous chapters we have seen how to draw 3d triangle and rotate it. Now in this chapter you can learn how to a 3d cube, how to rotate it, how to attach an image on it. In the same way, This chapter provides examples to draw a 3D cube and apply colours to it and attach image to it.

Below given is the program to draw a 3d cube and apply colours to it.

When you compile and execute the above program, the following output is generated. It shows a colored 3D cube.

Applying Texture to the Cube

The following steps are given to apply texture to a cube −

• You can bind required texture to the cube using the gl.glBindTexture(GL2.GL_TEXTURE_2D.texture) method of the Drawable interface.
• This method requires texture (int) argument along with GL2.GL_TEXTURE_2D(int).
• Before you execute Display(), you need to create texture variable
• In the init() method or in the starting lines of glDisplay() method, enable the texture using gl.glEnable(GL2.GL_TEXTURE_2D) method.
• Create the texture object, which needs a file object as a parameter, which in turn needs the path of the image used as the texture to the object.

File file = new File(“c:\\pictures\\boy.jpg”);
Texture t = textureIO.newTexture(file, true);
texture = t.getTextureObject(gl);

• Handle the ‘file not found’ exception
