   creating a 3d sphere carousel view by embedding images
  Hi,I want to create a 3d carousel view on a sphere in openGL.But i am able to embed only one texture on sphere created using " glutSolidSphere ". I also want to add zoom in and out capability,plus camera controls. It is supposed to be a kind of image viewer whereimages are embedded on sphere. What are the features of opengl which I should use? Also something to make it more visually impressive.
