Title: [C++] Starting Out In Open GL
Post by: Storm Trooper on March 11, 2010

hello dbf forum,

you may of heard this question before.
i have been looking at nehe lesson on open gl. but the includes they use, etc, are missing or it looks like have been changed in vsc++2008. Is there an alternative way of working with open gl?

im interested in shaders, but don't really know how to make them. it looks to me like mixing per pixel effects like blending and blurring.

thanks for your valuable time,
Storm Trooper aka Trantor.

You can find an introduction to glsl here (http://www.lighthouse3d.com/opengl/glsl).
A very simple example-source can be found here (http://www.lcg.ufrj.br/Cursos/GPUProg/GLSLfirst) (at the bottom of the page).
You need to get glut from here (http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut.html) and copy glut.h, glut32.lib & glut32.dll into the same folder.

Do you mean gl.h / glu.h / glaux.h ?
I attached those here for you, just copy gl folder to your msvc lib folder.

You will find a little shader framework, it might help you start with it.
