This course is a mix of programming (in OpenGL) and theory. Students should be comfortable programming large assignments independently in C++ or C. Some mathematical maturity is also expected.

One component of this course traditionally is a project in which students create some high quality images using a non-pipelined graphics renderer such as POVRay, Blender, 3DS, etc.

Here is a link to previous years' projects:

And in Fall 1998 the students made some movies!

The Povray organisers run a contest too and here is a link to some of the amazing winners .

On-line documentation (NeHe): OpenGL tutorials etc.

Some help with using devc++ for OpenGL

And here are some more hints from Breanne on how to get devc++ working for OpenGL and her glut.DevPak .

Some notes (courtesy of Ethan Kim) on how to get OpenGL working under Linux

For Ubuntu: Ubuntu

Mac users: In the include header, change GL to GLUT. If you use xcode, see: Mac tutorial

An important link for glut and tutorials on OpenGL (a bit dated).
