Very clear introduction. Thanks a lot!

[@fawadmirza.]

I just like how we can create stuff only using maths, definitely going to spend time learning OpenGL in free time.

. ꓝᥲᴡᥲꓓ࿐ same the power of math is rlly something

[@pumpkinot9900]

It’s called a simulation.

[@ji1046]

this is way more than just maths. what you are talking about is software rendering which only depends on a function to put a pixel on the screen.

[@dr20231may]

this is what i wnat to learn now . thanks

Imma pumped lets go

YEEESSS!!!!!!

01:56 maybe, "clip space" shoud be "NDC"?

Hey brian, love your videos. But aren't these opengl videos uploaded in the wrong order or i'm mistaken?

[@CoryTheSimmons]

Is his OpenGL playlist out of sort, or just the uploads?

[@ghostsdefeated4078]

​@@CoryTheSimmons it was just this introduction video that was missing, I just checked the playlist now it's sorted

it said intro but has no introduction what the actual heck is opengl :-/

[@nickwilson3499]

Open graphics library

[@volbla]

(2 years late, but w/e)
OpenGL is a standard for the capabilities and interface of graphics hardware. "Standard" here means a list of requirements to be considered part of the standard. For example, if a graphics card implements all the functionality specified in OpenGL 4.2, it is said to be compatible with OpenGL 4.2.
It is up to hardware manufacturers which standards they want to implement, but basically everything handles opengl. DirectX was more common in the past. The Khronos group (who is currently responsible for opengl) has also developed a more low level api called Vulkan. There is a slimmed down version of opengl for the web/javascript called WebGL. Apple has their own api made for their own hardware called Metal.
tl;dr: If you want to do graphics programming, opengl is the most common specification for telling the graphics hardware what to do.

hello sir really a great video but telling frankly i dont know anything about opengl but i want to learn the complete opengl from basic to advance and i thing you are the best person who can guide me. so sir can you please tell me what are the requirement of learning opengl (currently i am learning c is it useful in learning opengl)?? please sir help me out please .

[@logc1921]

You can use C or C++ with OpenGL, and stop saying sir so much, it's not required no need to be that formal.

[@nandlalchoudhary2579]

@@logc1921 thanks a lot bro for guiding me (this time i havent used sir 😅😅)

[@puranjanprithu6337]

@@nandlalchoudhary2579 well u did use it in the end!

[@chrischoir3594]

that is probably the worst opengl site there is
