QGraphicsScene and GL textures

**bence.frenyo** · 22nd July 2008, 10:58

Hi all,
I'm new to GL, and I've got to get this working soon. I've several images to be blended together in the background of the scene, and it seems logical to upload the images to the textures outside of the drawBackground(). But I only get a white rectangle, so the textures are lost somewhere. If I uncomment the code in drawBackground() then it works, but not efficient. Please enlighten me.

First error is that enabling blend feature must be moved after drawing the first rectangle, but I still don't get the textures.

Never mind.
When uploading the textures there must be a current GL context, e.g. the viewport can be passed here to call makeCurrent() on it, so glGenTextures() can return valid texture ids, which wasn't the case.
