OpenGL Examples
A collection of 45 OpenGL 3.x and 4.x examples with GLSL shaders demonstrating modern graphics programming techniques.
What is OpenGL Examples?
OpenGL by McNopper is a collection of 45 educational examples demonstrating modern OpenGL 3.x and 4.x programming with GLSL shaders. It provides practical code samples for developers learning contemporary graphics techniques like deferred shading, ray tracing, tessellation, and compute shaders. The project solves the problem of finding comprehensive, working examples that transition developers from legacy OpenGL to modern programmable pipeline approaches.
Graphics programmers, game developers, and computer science students learning modern OpenGL who need practical examples beyond basic tutorials. Developers transitioning from OpenGL 1.x/2.x fixed-function pipeline to OpenGL 3.2+ programmable pipeline.
Developers choose this project because it offers 45 complete, runnable examples covering a wide range of modern OpenGL features in one repository. Unlike fragmented tutorials, it provides a progressive learning path from basic window creation to advanced techniques like GPU ray tracing and ocean simulation.
