OpenGL Rotation

Question

I\'m trying to do a simple rotation in OpenGL but must be missing the point. I\'m not looking for a specific fix so much as a quick explanation or link that explains OpenGL rota

Answer 1

Ensure that you're modifying the modelview matrix by putting the following before the glRotatef call:

glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);

Otherwise, you may be modifying either the projection or a texture matrix instead.
