OpenGL textured cube tutorial - example code not working - opengl

Question

I've been going through the opengl tutorials here:
http://www.opengl-tutorial.org/beginners-tutorials/tutorial-5-a-textured-cube/
The site provides you with completed versions of each tutorial so you can compare with your own implementation. Unfortunately tutorial 5 doesn't appear to work for me (neither my implementation nor the provided one). I've attached pictures of what I believe it should look like and what I get when I run the executable generated from their code.
I'm using a 2015 MacBook Pro running Windows 10, compiling in VS2015, using Intel's Iris 6100 integrated GPU.
The following code is from the tutorial.
// Include standard headers
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
// Include GLEW
#include <GL/glew.h>

#include <glfw3.h>

#include <glm/gtc/matrix_transform.hpp>
using namespace glm;
#include <common/shader.hpp>
#include <common/texture.hpp>

if( !glfwInit() )
{
fprintf( stderr, "Failed to initialize GLFW\n" );

}

glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_FORWARD_COMPAT, GL_TRUE); // To make MacOS happy; should not be needed
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE);
// Open a window and create its OpenGL context
window = glfwCreateWindow( 1024, 768, "Tutorial 05 - Textured Cube", NULL, NULL);
if( window == NULL ){
fprintf( stderr, "Failed to open GLFW window. If you have an Intel GPU, they are not 3.3 compatible. Try the 2.1 version of the tutorials.\n" );
glfwTerminate();
return -1;
}
glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);
// Initialize GLEW
glewExperimental = true; // Needed for core profile
if (glewInit() != GLEW_OK) {
fprintf(stderr, "Failed to initialize GLEW\n");
return -1;
}

glm::vec3(0,0,0), // and looks at the origin

);

glm::mat4 Model = glm::mat4(1.0f);
// Our ModelViewProjection : multiplication of our 3 matrices

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I think it is because you are not inverting the y component of the UV-coords (since DDS has a different-D3D-based coordinate system compared to OpenGL). You should either invert it in the fragment shader (as easy as 1.0f-uv.y) or inverting the image before compressing it. Check out that tutorial (which is awesome, by the way). At the end, it talks about inversing the UVs:
DXT compression comes from the DirectX world, where the V texture coordinate is inversed compared to OpenGL. So if you use compressed textures, you’ll have to use ( coord.u, 1.0-coord.v) to fetch the correct texel. You can do this whenever you want : in your export script, in your loader, in your shader...
