Got any tutorial?

hi,
i am a newbie in the world of extensions and shaders. I’d like to write some good shader program, but as for now i am lost in a sea of assembly like code and criptic speg files.
Are there some very introductory tutorials about GL_VERTEX_PROGRAM_ARB and FRAGMENT_PROGRAM_ARB? Just the kind of stuff u need to get started (like the good ole nehe tutorials)…
thank u

Here are some links I found useful, reading and trying to understand different fp’s & vp’s always help you get a grasp on what’s going on.

You should also search this forum and www.gamedev.net for “fragment program”, you’ll find lots of stuff.

Oh, and of course: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/registry/ARB/vertex_program.txt http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/registry/ARB/fragment_program.txt

Good luck.
