Convert an UIImage in a texture

Question

In my opengl project I need to convert an UIImage in texture; what\'s the way to do it? Can you help me?

Answer 1

Another way of doing this using the GLKit framework:

//Path to image
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"textureImage" ofType:@"png"];

//Set eaglContext
[EAGLContext setCurrentContext:[[EAGLContext alloc] initWithAPI:kEAGLRenderingAPIOpenGLES2]];

//Create texture
NSError *theError;    
GLKTextureInfo *texture = [GLKTextureLoader textureWithContentsOfFile:filePath options:nil error:&theError];
glBindTexture(texture.target, texture.name);

texture.name is The OpenGL context’s name for the texture.
