Title: OpenGL easy to code, POF Constructor Suite to undergo 1.0 Optimizations
Post by: Kazan on November 16, 2001, 08:05:00 am

I'm learning OpenGL and it's EASIER THAN CRAP, I had looked at DirectX and just about puked.


I'm going to go through and perform the final Version 1.0 clean up of POF Constructor Suite, then as I learn OpenGL I'm going to write that 3D Preview window some of you have been asking for.

Any chance of an auto-paths system sneaking it's way into v1.0? *puppy-dog eyes*  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/naughty.gif)

I completely agree with that, damn, if only Linux was more supported.

Anyway, back on topic, super l33t.  Being able to see changes immediately is very useful.

What on-line rescources can you recommend to somebody who's trying to learn this crap?
