OpenGL ES 2.0 on desktop PCs?

Post by spock »

i would like to learn some 3d graphics programming and OpenGL ES 2.0 seems to be a much cleaner and smaller API than OpenGL.

is it possible to use it on desktop PCs somehow? (i am still on windows.) i mean really using OpenGL ES 2.0 and not just trying to figure out what the equivalent/similar functions in OpenGL are.

(i am really looking forward to the raspberry pi (raspberrypi.org). it will also support OpenGl ES 2.0 and it would be cool if the stuff i do will be easily portable to it.)

If your driver supports OpenGL 4, then yes. If not, there are some wrappers ES to normal GL.
