Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] Book to refer for learning pyopengl

[Jonathan H. <ta...@ta...>]

There are some tutorials built into the PyOpenGL documentation itself. 
They are ostensibly about using shaders, but they provide complete 
stand-alone working code that shows exactly how to write OpenGL code 
using PyOpenGL:
http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/context/tutorials/index.xhtml

Once you've done a few of those and are starting to become familiar with 
PyOpenGL, then you can pretty much use any C tutorial, and convert them 
to Python yourself, usually quite easily.

If you want modern '>=version3' OpenGL, there are two C-based tutorials 
which seem to be of very high quality:

An Intro to Modern OpenGL
http://duriansoftware.com/joe/An-intro-to-modern-OpenGL.-Table-of-Contents.html

Learning Modern Graphics Programming Through OpenGL
http://www.arcsynthesis.org/gltut/index.html

I just started converting the C samples for the last of these into 
Python using PyOpenGL, and just this morning emailed the author to ask 
if he minds me making those public. More as it happens.
