While I just don't know enough to tell you how to do that I can give you a link to a great (free online) book that does. I have skimmed it and made a little triangle but it is really complex. Arcsynthesis Modern OpenGL Tutorial I'm going through LazyFoo's tutorials right now. They start with the glBegin(), glEnd() fixed function pipeline then move into more modern OpenGL using the fixed function pipeline as a foundation. I'll j | |
