NeHe's OpenGL Tutorials

Начало книги

Welcome to my OpenGL tutorials. I am an average guy with a passion for OpenGL! The first time I heard about OpenGL was back when 3Dfx released their Hardware accelerated OpenGL driver for the Voodoo 1 card. Immediately I knew OpenGL was something I had to learn. Unfortunately, it was very hard to find any information about OpenGL in books or on the net. I spent hours trying to make code work and even more time begging people for help in email and on IRC. I found that those people that understood OpenGL considered themselves elite, and had no interest in sharing their knowledge. VERY frustrating!

I created this web site so that people interested in learning OpenGL would have a place to come if they needed help. In each of my tutorials I try to explain, in as much detail as humanly possible, what each line of code is doing. I try to keep my code simple (no MFC code to learn)! An absolute newbie to both Visual C++ and OpenGL should be able to go through the code, and have a pretty good idea of what's going on. My site is just one of many sites offering OpenGL tutorials. If you're a hardcore OpenGL programmer, my site may be too simplistic, but if you're just starting out, I feel my site has a lot to offer!
