Course description

OpenGL™ has become widespread throughout the graphics world and understanding the mechanisms, the limitations and key work-around are important when writing complex programs. This course will open with a quick introduction to OpenGL™ exploring the main differences between ES v1.1 and ES v2.0 and then migrating into Windows based ES V1.1 Emulator. Throughout the course the instructor will build upon the foundation by introducing various functionality, (such as fixed function pipeline, rendering primitives, vertex array, various transformations, etc.) to create animation, wire frame and solid geometry. The student will learn how to apply special effects (lighting, textures and other effects) to increase realism. The course will introduce advance topics to challenge the students overall comprehension of the material

Topics covered

Windows OpenGL™ ES emulators Fixed & Floating Point interfaces Fixed vs. Programmable Pipeline Rendering Primitives Vertex Arrays Transformations Lighting Material Properties Rasterization Frame Buffer Operations

Texturing Vertex Buffer Objects Texture Objects Vertex Shaders Programming Fragment Shaders Programming Advanced topics, and more! Initializing a device with EGL ES 1.1 vs. 2.0 differences Multiple contexts Compressed Textures
