Working on my Jet - KayBee - 04-03-2021

Learning C, via graphics.


RE: Working on my Jet - mopar5150 - 04-04-2021

Very cool!
I have always been an SGI hardware guy with very little software experience, so this stuff looks like magic to me.

Wow KayBee, so cool!

I'm also getting my way around C and OpenGL but making a simulator of how diseases spread. =))))
But I don't want to post a screenshot from my work machine so I will build it on my C800 and share. =))))

I got a very nice book recently from a guy who teaches OpenGL for free, so I bought the book to support his work.

What is the name of the book and author?  Thanks!

Learn OpenGL: Learn modern OpenGL graphics programming in a step-by-step fashion.

It's OpenGL 3.3, however.
But he covers a lot of the math behind it and then a lot of the differences are a matter of syntax.
I've been using GLUT for most of my attempts but it's not so hard to infer the differences.

I'm enjoying it a lot and will post some of the results once I have what to show (and I want to post it from AIX or HP-UX, not Linux =))))

Thanks for the recommendation.  I might check out that book and update my graphics coding skills.

You are welcome.

He has the whole book for free online so you can check it and see if you like it. I bought a physical copy to support his work.
It's very well explained and illustrated. I'm enjoying it very much.
