Textures on OpenGL shapes

I apologise if this is already discussed in the tutorials but I couldnt find any way of implementing it even after scouring them.

I'm trying to use a movie as a texture on an OpenGL shape using the texture message only I cant seem to get it to work?!

Can anyone help?

Hi Rhys,
To get textures working, you need to do 2 things:

1) create a texture object
2) set the texture attribute of the object you want to texture to the
name of the texture object

In you patch, you'll want to put [jit.gl.texture foo @name mytexture]
just below jit.qt.movie and send the message "texture mytexture" to
jit.gl.gridshape.
