Although I only have the 'third' texture on one face of the cube it appears everywhere instead of the second one.
Are you using multitexture, or multiple drawing passes? Radeons have 3 texture units so you can do 3 textures in one pass, Radeon8500 has 6, Geforce2 has 2 texture units, and I think Geforce3 and 4 has 4 units, but I'm not positive on that. If your card only supports 2 texture units, you'll have to do a second rendering pass to get the third texture to show up, and use the correct mode (GL_MODULATE?).
Also, if you only want the 3rd texture to show up on one face of the cube, disable texturing after drawing the first face and it won't be drawn on the subsequent faces.
At some point it came to me that my GeForce 2 can only draw 2 textures in one pass, and you confirmed that.
As far as multipass rendering, you basically just draw your object again, with the blending mode set to your desired effect. I think a good explanation of the differences is here: http://www.delphi3d.net/articles/viewarticle.php?article=lightmapping.htm
A cool project to see/learn the difference in multitexturing and multipass rendering would be to do a simple lightmapping technique of a quad, and toggle between multitexturing and 2 passes to get the same effect. There's a good multitexturing tutorial you could base this on at: http://www.gametutorials.com
For more info I'd suggest a google search on "opengl multipass rendering" or something like that, should help you get the general idea.
I have no time to check them out in detail right now. (my multitexturing code is based on a www.gametutorials.com (http://www.gametutorials.com) tutorial, do we mean the same?)
I got a question though. You said that I basically just draw my object again, does that mean that I realy draw it again, with all the geometry and so on?
Yes, I believe we are talking about the same tutorial at http://www.gametutorials.com That was a very helpful tutorial to me when I was first learning about multitexturing, since it is a very simple example that made the concepts easy to grasp. http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/smile.gif
So my suggestion was to turn that tutorial into a program that would allow you to draw the lightmapped quad 2 ways, via multitexture (as it exists now), and then with the press of a button it would change to a multipass algorithm instead.
Basically, you would draw the quad with the base texture. Then, set your blending mode to get the desired effect, bind the lightmap texture, and then draw the same quad again. This should have the same effect as drawing the quad once with multitexturing, but will show you how the multipass rendering works.
I have no idea though how to achieve multipass rendering in OpenGL. I cannot imagine how those two cubes will fit together. hmmmm...
to control how the textures are blended together between the two passes, but I guess I will find some satisfying solutions for that.
China and Singapore sign MOUs to boost Data Analytics Research Partnerships between 3 Universities -
It announced this week that three Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) were signed between three Singapore universities and three Chinese universities. These MOUs established Sino-Singapore partnerships to pursue knowledge sharing and research collaboration. The MOUs represent the continued cooperation in the field of education between the two countries, since the education ministries aligned in 1999.
It announced this week that three Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) were signed between three Singapore universities and three Chinese universities. These MOUs established Sino-Singapore partnerships to pursue knowledge sharing and research collaboration.
The MOUs represent the continued cooperation in the field of education between the two countries, since the education ministries aligned in 1999.
“Since 1998, around 1,300 Government officials from China have come to NTU in Singapore for the “Mayors’ Class”, where former senior leaders from the Singapore Government share their experiences in tackling governance challenges such as economic development, transportation, the environment, social security and health care,” stated Mr Ong Ye Kung, Acting Minister For Education (Higher Education And Skills),
“Similarly, since 2010, the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at NUS, in collaboration with the NUS Business School, also began to host senior Chinese officials and business leaders for a 10-month Master in Public Administration and Management programme. The programme has since trained over 340 graduates.”
The MOUs recognise partnerships between Tsinghua University with National University of Singapore (NUS), Peking University with Nanyang Technological University (NTU), and Zhejiang University with Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD).
The RMB 150 million in funding to establish these ties were provided by the Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation.
“Under the new MOU, NUS and Tsinghua will conduct joint research and development in areas of mutual interest and complementary expertise. One such area is data science and data analytics. The universities will also work together to identify opportunities to commercialise technology,” stated Mr Ong Ye Kung, Acting Minister For Education (Higher Education And Skills).
NUS and Tsinghua University will focus their joint research in areas of mutual interest and expertise, including data science and data analytics.
“The universities will also work together to identify opportunities to commercialise technology,” Mr Ong Ye Kung added.
Also, the MOU acts to increase the student exchange and entrepreneurship opportunities. Undergraduate and postgraduate students will experience enhanced student exchange programmes and attend joint activities such as seminars and conferences, focusing on innovation and enterprise development.
NTU and Peking University are going to establish a joint NTU-PKU Research Institute focused on areas including multi-modal big data analytics technologies for smart cities and human-centred technologies for healthy living and lifelong learning.
This new partnership will create opportunities for joint research, student and faculty exchanges, and joint activities.
The new NTU-PKU Research Institute will work closely with the several ongoing collaborations between the universities, including: the Research Centre of Excellence in Active Living for the Elderly (LILY), which develops digital solutions for the elderly, and the Rapid-Rich Object Search (ROSE) Lab, which aims to pioneer next-generation visual and object search technologies.
Mr Ong Ye Kung noted that the NTU-PKU Research Institute will be relevant to the Smart Nation vision of Singapore, through harnessing the capabilities of technology to improve the quality of living.
SUTD and Zhejiang University are going to establish a SUTD-ZJU Innovation, Design and Entrepreneurship Alliance (IDEA).
This will focus primarily on design innovation in the two countries, and topics relating to manufacturing, urbanization, and sustainability.
The universities will harness their expertise to pursue joint research activities, aiming to translate them into commercial outcomes.

We had a family gathering after a funeral at Lulu’s. I’m embarrassed that I didn’t take pictures of our food because it was truly superb! Mike was our server and amplified our experience with attentive service without being overbearing.
We ordered almost every appetizer on the menu and a double order of lamb ribs and stuffed dates! Outstanding!!!
A few ordered Churrasco which we continued to share and the pistachio pasta. The vegetable side dishes were beautifully prepared and the bok Choy was loved by all.
service was ok... not great. the food was really good, especially the roasted dates. they were my favorite! a little pricey for what you get.
My boyfriend and I came tonight to celebrate our anniversary and as always had the best experience ever. Our host was excellent and our waitress was outstanding. Everything was perfect. We are definitely coming back 🥂☺️
However, this visit we had a waiter with very European tendencies... and not in a good way. We had to flag him down for anything we wanted. We decided we wanted drinks after we ordered food, and we couldn’t get his attention until after we’d finished our appetizers and the drinks didn’t come until we’d finished the entree.
Terrible service. All the waitstaff was rude and impatient. Food was very bland. We had the scallops, fried tomatoes, fish tartare and octopus - I wouldn’t order any of those again. It was nice to sit on the street with a fan in the 90 degree humidity but everything else was terrible.
Very welcoming ! We had a big party and asked to sit outside but when the rain came they were very gracious about setting us up inside. Not the easiest for 10 people on a Saturday night. Friendly service, good food . I will definitely go back
On vacation in South Florida with husband and two teen daughters. Sat outdoors. Fun atmosphere here and good food! We all enjoyed our meal.
Always delightful to eat at Lulu’s, was a bit hot inside the restaurant, but definitely not as hot as it was outside!
I planned a surprise party for my sister’s 27th birthday! LuLu’s staff was amazing! I will definitely come back
Even though I told them about my reservation and my fiancée bday they didn’t show any interest at all.
Fun spot! Our server was fantastic and all of our choices were yummy. Great vibe for early summer dinner with friends.
We are new to the area and had never been to Coconut Grove, so we enjoyed the outdoor seating and ambiance the most. The starters (goat cheese croquettes and wings) were delicious and entrees (steak salad and fish tacos) were just okay. We are likely to return for drinks and appetizers because the ambiance is really lovely.
The food was average, but the service was worse. The server ignored us for about 15 minutes before coming to our table, then brought sparkling water when we clearly didn’t want special water. When food was finally brought to our table it was cold. The server didn’t bring silverware until we asked for it. She was terrible. Lulu’s used to be a great place to eat and hangout—Sebastian the manager made it special; the new management sucks!
As local Coconut Grovites, we love Lulu's! It's our favorite place to take out of town guests to get a feel of the Grove. The menu of mostly small plates makes it easy for everyone to taste a variety of selections so that many different food likes and appetites can be satisfied. We like to eat outside so that guests can feel the Grove energy. We've been going to Lulu's for years and have never been disappointed.
We have enjoyed our dinner, the food was really good. It´s a quite place with a good service. We will come back when visiting Miami.
Flavorful food with nice waitstaff. Attentive to us and efficient on a Saturday night that was busy.
Mother’s Day. Place was empty except for a table of very very rude people who faced times their family during their whole meal!! We got sat right next to them and we couldn’t hear ourselves talk. We said something to staff more than once who did nothing. We eventually asked them ourselves to stop and they ignored us. We had to get up ourselves and move to a new table.
At the end of our meal the waitress apologized again and did make it up to us by given us a gift certificate of substantial value to use at another time. But not sure we will be back. They could have taken a stronger stand with the diners who were being so rude.
It’s a casual place with outdoor eating. Has a great view for people watching. We had a great server Mike who was a fantastic waiter. We brought our own bottles of wine and he uncorked them. His suggestions for apps and entree were on point. If you eat here try the Brussels sprouts and pistachio pasta. Dessert was Nutella bread pudding and some great espresso. Will definitely go back and hope I get that great waiter again.
The waiter keeps come every minute checking. We’d like to be drinking and eat with no rush and we could feel comfortable there
The area the resturant is located is good. The food was solid but did not live up to my expectations given the ratings it had. I would not hurry back since there are better places in the area.
Patrick was our server and he was AWESOME! If you come here, definitely ask for him! All his recommendations were exactly what he said they were! Our PARTY LOVED EVERYTHING!!!!
Took my son here for dinner on a Saturday night while we were visiting Miami. Lively scene; bartender seemed a little overworked, which impacted service, but table service was terrific. Great ambiance. Food excellent. I highly recommend the diver scallops.
Needed a restaurant with inside and outside seating for my co workers. This place did not disappoint, we like it so much we went back later in the week. Good menu, had small plates, liter fare, pasta jambalaya was amazing, and much more. Definite must do in Coconut Grove Miami.
Excellent food (healthy and tasty!), great service. The drive-by traffic was a bit noisy but it is outdoor sitting in the Grove! Can walk everywhere afterward. Will be back!
Last Night Dinner...I had made reservations based on the website before my trip. (I live in Northern CA.) Love small plates and the menu looked intriguing. Reservations were for my last night in South Florida. I was hosting the friend who had be showing me around. What can I say - it was amazing. The one plate that stands out were the roasted dates stuffed with chorizo and wrapped in bacon. I am going to steal this idea! Of course I also loved the octopus. Small plates more than ample for two people to share. Only problem was there were 3 tuna tacos...alas I had two.
Excellent food with attentive service in Coconut Grove. Real vibe to the place. Lots of music and people having fun.
I had the privilege of eating at LuLu twice on my recent trip. The food is amazing. Great ambiance and worth every moment spent there.
