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 =))))

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.
