An introduction to BREW and OpenGL ES
Aug 27, 2004
This article will go from installing and setting up a BREW development environment and emulator, through to getting an OpenGL ES system up and running and displaying a single triangle. From there existing OpenGL API resources can take you further into the process of developing your 3d application. This tutorial is particularly timely given the OpenGL ES 1.1 Coding Challenge beginning Sept 17th.

Notes3D lets you view 3D models, without expensive CAD software using the OpenGL API for rendering
Aug 25, 2004
Notes3D lets you view, share and document your 3D CAD models using the OpenGL API for rendering.. While Notes3D has typical viewer capabilities, the real power of Notes3D is in its ability to document the 3D model by adding text and hyperlinks to parts, steps and snapshots, and then publish (on or offline). It also support different render styles.

OpenGL ES, OpenML, OpenVG, OpenMAX lectures and training sessions - London Sept 01, Helskinki Sept 1
Aug 23, 2004
Khronos is launching the Khronos Developer University Lecture series which features presentations and practical tutorials focused on the mobile and desktop graphics standards for OpenGL ES (OpenGL for mobile devices), OpenML (video & graphics I/O and handling), OpenVG (vector graphics acceleration), and OpenMAX (acceleration for media primitives). The first 2 lecture events are free in London (Sept 1 ‘04) and Helsinki (Sept 17 ‘04), followed by international locations through the next 6 months.

Tutorial on rendering particles using the GL_ARB_point_parameters and GL_ARB_point_sprite extensions
Aug 23, 2004
In particle engines using a quad to render geometry, it is computationally expensive for each particle to billboard the face and then send 4 points and 4 textures coordinate to video cards. The GL_ARB_point_parameters and GL_ARB_point_sprite offer a fast and easy way for rendering particles. This tutorial explains how to use points rather than quads.

JAD OpenGL API-based game provides sample code
Aug 23, 2004
JAD is a tile based Maze-RPG, using the OpenGL API for graphics and SDL for input and sound. The new release includes sample code for a pong game with simple collision detection, getting input for a map grid, and an example how to implemet a turn based game in a game loop which allows animation at the same time.

VRMesh 1.0 sketch-based 3D modeling tool using the OpenGL API
Aug 17, 2004
VRMesh is a new style of sketch-based free-form 3D polygonal parametric modeling software using the OpenGL API for rendering. It creates an object directly from a sketched curve, represents the object with a two-manifold triangle mesh, and also provides a bundle of mesh editing tools to modify objects indirectly or directly on the triangle mesh (i.e. just sketching a curve, you will get an editable 3D model).

Fusion 5 media compositing language and pipeline adds OpenGL API-accelerated rendering
Aug 16, 2004
Fusion is a digital media pipeline language that also takes advantage of an advanced node-based compositing engine. It permits composite planes transformable in 3D space, but also allows 2D objects to move along spline paths in XYZ space. (e.g. to have text deform on a circular path around another object with occlusion, simply draw a circular spline oriented in 3D space and attach a text object to it). The new Fusion 5 previewed at Siggraph adds OpenGL API-accelerated rendering, camera path import, and masking and B-spline enhancements.

Silo V1.3 OpenGL-API based modeler adds Topology brush and Mac OS X support
Aug 16, 2004
Silo is a subdivision surfaces modeler that combines several new modeling methods with established tools in an interface that is fully customizable. The new v1.3 for Windows and Mac OS X adds a topology brush that lets you sketch freehand lines on top of an existing mesh and automatically create new geometry based on the sketched topology. It also adds a slide tool, shortest path selection, and drag and drop button placement for custom interfaces.
