Hi Everybody,

For a year I was browsing this site and checking the engine. Finaly, a friend and I decided to start developing our project with help of Irrlicht.

However, we want to sharp our skills in OpenGL. I know there is Red Book and some tutorials online but maybe anybody got a really good Web Site or a Book?

Thanks :)

Yes, it's a great site, but the info is more in tutorial form. I would like to find a complete book that goes from A to Z or atleast covers the basics :)

You already said it :D . It's the OpenGL ARB red book. I think gamedev.net also recently had a review of a new book with the title (I think) A Beginner's Guide to OpenGL

Heh, yes I have no choice but to read the Red Book. However, I don't have enough math knowladge for some aspects in the book :-( It's pretty weird for beign a Computer Sc. student in a college where Physics and High Maths aren't given !!

Anyway, thanks for the reply everybody! :)
Electron, nice Sig :)))

im not too good at the low-level graphics programming, so i got these two books to help me out when needed:

the big red book(of course), and
OpenGL Game Programming by Hawkins, Astle and LaMothe
its about the same size as the red book, but can be interesting because its more in a
game-programming perspective...
