I want to make my shapes to keep rotating by time while I can move them (Left-Right , Down-Up , Front-Back) using keyboard I added a function called timer() that should change the angles of the cube and pyramid by time.
The problem is the code keeps breaking at glutPostOverlayRedisplay(); function and it says :
Exception thrown at 0x10004813 (glut32.dll) in Opengl.exe: 0xC0000005:
Access violation reading location 0x00000020.
how can I fix this problem and why its happening ?
this is the code :
#include <GL/glut.h>
int object = 0;
float xLeftRight[]{ 0, 0 };
float yDownUp[]{ 0, 0 };
float zFrontBack[]{ 0, 0 };
float PyramidAngle = 0.0;
float CupeAngle = 0.0;
int t_refresh = 20;//ms
float degree = 0;
float xscale = 1, yscale = 1, zscale = 1;

switch (buttons)
{
case GLUT_KEY_F1: object = 0; break;

This code is to draw one pyramid and one cube. I am trying to colour them using GL_SMOOTH type by glShadeModel. But the result is that only the pyramid can be smooth while another one cube was only colored like a GL_FLAT one.
It seems that there are some problems with the normal vectors but I was poor at this aspect.
Here are my codes below:
void initGL() {
glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);
glClearDepth(1.0f); // Set background depth to farthest
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST); // Enable depth testing for z-culling

}
Can someone tell me how could this happen?
When you draw the pyramid, then you've one color associated to each vertex coordinate of the triangle primitives. e.g:
glColor3f(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); // Red
glVertex3f( 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
glColor3f(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f); // Green
glVertex3f(-1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f);
glColor3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f); // Blue
glVertex3f(1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f);
This causes that the colors of the vertices (corner) are interpolated on the triangle.
When you draw the cube then you've set one color fro each quad. Each corner of the quad is associated to the same color:
glColor3f(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f); // Green
glVertex3f( 1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
glVertex3f( 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
This causes that the entire quad primitiv is uniform colored. If you want a color gradient, then you've to associate different colors to the vertices (corners).
I'm trying to draw a "transparent" cube (with only edges) and place a pyramid inside this cube, the problem is that the edges of the cube are drawing over pyramid when I rotate it.
Here is an example
I understand why this is happening (because I draw pyramid first and then a cube), but I want that these edges to not be drawn over the pyramid when this is not needed.

... after that I got vice-versa behavior, take a look at this screenshot It seems like the front edges behave like back edges.
The triangles of your pyramid are set clockwise, but default, counterclockwise polygons are taken to be front-facing. Set glFrontFace(GL_CW) or change the order of glVertex3f.
Could someone explain me why triangle is rendering over quad please ?
When Depth Testing is active, the fragments will be displayed depending on their depth. The depth value from the fragment is compared to the depth value from the matching sample currently in the framebuffer. The conditional test is specified by the function glDepthFunc. The initial value of glDepthFunc is GL_LESS.
In your example the depth of the triangle's fragments is LESS than that of the quad's fragments, so the triangle is over the quad.
Setting minimal depth buffer didn't changed anything for me (likely because platform setting was already 24, but checking those defaults is not without merit). The problem is that displayed order of cube's edges still look wrong: the edge that supposed to be closer is painted over by pyramid.
Because you don't do anything about visibility of edges it causes illusion that cube must be rotating in direction opposite and perpendicular to rotation of pyramid.
The problem is that it's pyramid which is actually wrong. Let me prove that:
glBegin(GL_QUADS);//(GL_LINE_LOOP);
glVertex3f( 1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f);
glVertex3f( 1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f);
glEnd();
Resulting image is:
Cube rotates in supposed direction, it isn't inside out. That means that pyramid is. One reason of that is that we actually see back faces, not front ones.
If I convert your code to emulate transparent pyramid, , but save default culling settings:

I still see how pyramid rotates, all of its edges and that line of cube that is "behind" is clipped (because blending does nothing to depth test).
But now if you look at the "bold" faces of pyramid - I intentionally made faces that are invisible without blending bold by giving them larger alpha value - you'll see that they rotate properly, in same direction as cube does. That means that your mesh, the pyramid, is actually inverted, "inside out". With non-convex figures that would be more obvious, with convex ones that creates illusion of opposite rotation.
All you should do is change order of vertices or switch to GL_CW for pyramid (GL_CCW is default).
I surmise that this is expected look of the pyramid, if the face colors are taken in account. If it isn't, that means that you assumed that vertices with greater Z-coordinate is further away from projection plane. With Identity projection matrix and GL_LESS depth test function it's opposite. Be advised, if you switch direction of only one axis, that literally inverts all rules that related to direction of rotation, counterclockwise becomes clockwise.
NB: Trick I used for transparency illusion doesn't work that well with non-convex figures. Why? To use color blending you have to draw faces in order of their depth test doing this manually. My dirty trick does draw all faces twice, but culling removes those which face camera during first pass, and removes those which face away during second pass. For non-convex that doesn't match the order - there are faces that face camera but are further away than some "hidden" ones, wrong order. More work is required. Usage of flexible pipeline really changes how OpenGL can handle this.
I've finally done it:

Probably this solution is far from ideal, but it does exactly what I need (any tips would be appreciated).

I'd like to thank #Swift - Friday Pie and #Asaq for such detailed answers which helped me a bit more to understand how opengl works.
If anyone is interested - I'm on Linux (Fedora 28), graphic card is Intel HD Graphics 530 (Skylake GT2).
I need to draw a cube to indicate coordinate in OpenGL 3.3 core profile.It works fine without glutInitContextVersion (3, 3); but it becomes totally black when glutInitContextVersion (3, 3); applied.
Here is the drawing code.
void display() {
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); // Clear color and depth buffers
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); // To operate on model-view matrix
// Render a color-cube consisting of 6 quads with different colors
glLoadIdentity(); // Reset the model-view matrix
glTranslatef(1.5f, 0.0f, -7.0f); // Move right and into the screen
glBegin(GL_QUADS); // Begin drawing the color cube with 6 quads
// Top face (y = 1.0f)
// Define vertices in counter-clockwise (CCW) order with normal pointing out
glColor3f(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f); // Green
glVertex3f( 1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
glVertex3f( 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
// Bottom face (y = -1.0f)
glColor3f(1.0f, 0.5f, 0.0f); // Orange
glVertex3f( 1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f);
glVertex3f( 1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f);
// Front face (z = 1.0f)
glColor3f(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); // Red
glVertex3f( 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f);
glVertex3f( 1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f);
// Back face (z = -1.0f)
glColor3f(1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f); // Yellow
glVertex3f( 1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f);
glVertex3f( 1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f);
// Left face (x = -1.0f)
glColor3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f); // Blue
glVertex3f(-1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f);
// Right face (x = 1.0f)
glColor3f(1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f); // Magenta
glVertex3f(1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f);
glVertex3f(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
glVertex3f(1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f);
glVertex3f(1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f);
glEnd(); // End of drawing color-cube
glutSwapBuffers(); // Swap the front and back frame buffers (double buffering)
}
Here is the code in main function:
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
glutInit(&argc, argv); // Initialize GLUT
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DEPTH | GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_RGBA); // Enable double buffered mode
glutInitContextVersion (3, 3);
glutInitWindowSize(640, 480); // Set the window's initial width & height
glutInitWindowPosition(50, 50); // Position the window's initial top-left corner
glutCreateWindow(title); // Create window with the given title
glutDisplayFunc(display); // Register callback handler for window re-paint event
glutReshapeFunc(reshape); // Register callback handler for window re-size event
initGL(); // Our own OpenGL initialization
glutMainLoop(); // Enter the infinite event-processing loop
return 0;
}
How to draw a cube in OpenGL 3.3 core profile?
glBegin and friends are deprecated and removed from the newer versions (3.2 onward).
Instead you need to upload the vertex data to Vertex Buffer Objects. Then use glVertexAttribPointer to tell openGL how the data is laid out.
Besides that you need to write shaders.
Fixed function pipeline (glVertex, glBegin etc.) does not exist in Core Profile.
I'm a complete beginner with OpenGL, just trying to learn (starting with freeglut for the moment). So far I have the following code that should draw some basic 3D objects. The problem is that whatever I put in the render function (although it does execute), it only displays a blank window.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include "dependente\glew\glew.h"
#include "dependente\freeglut\glut.h"

Hopefully someone with more experience will let me know what obvious thing I'm missing.
Here's how I go about debugging the problem "OpenGL isn't drawing anything":
Add this code to the start of my render() function: glClearColor (1, 1, 0, 1); glClear (GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT); If the output turns yellow, it's calling your render() function and clearing the output properly. You can then remove that code or comment it out. If the output doesn't turn yellow, then either your render() function isn't getting called or it is, but your OpenGL state is set up not to draw to the screen. (Perhaps the wrong context is current at the time, or the color attachment for the current FBO isn't what you think it is.)
Attempt to draw a single white triangle, with no textures or shaders, centered at the origin. If it shows up, then the other geometry you're trying to draw could be wrong. If it doesn't show up, the problem could be your matrix calculations (projection or modelview matrix). (Are you pointing the "camera" where you think you are? Are your objects being drawn where you think?) It could also be lighting, blending, or depth testing. I turn all of those off for this sort of test just to be sure. (See glEnable()/glDisable() for how to turn them on and off.)
If that stuff works, I start turning on the things that I turned off above: texturing, shaders, lighting, blending, depth testing. I turn them on one at a time until something goes wrong.
If nothing goes wrong, then probably the geometry for my objects is wrong.
