How to use more than one Textures? (so fast as possible!)

OpenGL OpenGL: Basic Coding

I want to use more than one textures but if I use glTexImage2D(…); to change the texture it is to slow!!!

How can I precreate the textures and how can I select them?

(Is there something with glGenTextures(); and glBindTexture(); ?)

use glGenTextures to fill an array with ‘texture objects’ then bind a different texture to each element of the array. To select a texture you just use the array position that you bound it to.

And what function could I use to select the texture?

glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, yourTextureList[YOURTEXTURE]);
