List of OpenGL online tutorials
So I started to learn OpenGL, but the red book and blue book is just too detailed. I googled around, and knew that modern OpenGL is preferred (version 3 and above), however, the old Nehe's tutorial which is about OpenGL 1.x is still everywhere. To help beginners from digging too much into the old and deprecated way, here is a list of tutorials targeting modern OpenGL:
- Anton's OpenGL Tutorials Great, updated frequently, but there is no source code provided. Good as a reference and starting point, but you just can't get anything up and running with it, you can just get the concept of how to do things in OpenGL.
- open.gl not complete, but worth a view, the source code is elegant. Uses GLFW as window management
- OpenGL Tutorial Great, the code is horriable, but somehow they did make it clear about what they are doing. Uses GLFW and glm.
- Tom Dalling's OpenGL Tutorials Great, short and covers the basics
- Learning Modern 3D Graphics Programming Great, intermediate
- ogldev's OpenGL Step by Step Great, a little long(40 lessons), targeting linux
- OpenGL 3 and OpenGL 4 with GLSL only source code, no guides, eclipse needed.
- Scratch a Pixel a website about math used in Computer Graphics
- Swiftless's OpenGL Tutorial not complete, outdated
- OpenGL Book not complete
- Joe's not complete
