Good OpenGL Books
October 02, 2002 08:00 PM
What are the best books an OpenGL programmer should have? I have Code Complete, and Math for Game Programming, but what else should I have that are up to date with atleast the OpenGL 1.2 specification?
Thank you in advance.

you can actually get the blue book and the red book online for free. I don''t know the url''s, but they shouldn''t be hard to find, just hop on google or something. The OpenGL Superbible is a good one. Also, OpenGL Game Programming is a good one.

After the Red Book, I''d actually recommend the Blu e Book if you''re going to get into any kind of serious OpenGL programming.

Thank you for your suggestions. I am getting some books already and I did find an online resource for the OpenGL guide and reference manual here (http://ask.ii.uib.no/ebt-bin/nph-dweb/dynaweb/SGI_Developer/@Generic__CollectionView;pt=4)
This site also otehr articles that may prove useful to many of us here. Again, thank you.
