Re: glClear(GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT)

Title: Re: glClear(GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT)
Hi Dalal,
go to http://nehe.gamedev.net/
There are many lessons with sample code. They really start from scratch and bring you to a good level.
Then you can buy the Red Book about OpenGL.
On the Apple web site you can find some sample code too.
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/GraphicsImaging/idxOpenGL-date.html
Also goggle “OpenGL” to find sample code, documents...

As far as your task, is your image a raster image? Or a vectorial image (as made by illustrator)?
Do you need to extrude it or do you need to use e.g. the brightness values to create a kind of mountain?
Or is it a reverse projection as e.g. a photograph of a building ---> 3D model?

Best Regards
