Drawing a Triangle | OpenGL 3D Game Tutorial Series #3

 

Hello everyone, and welcome back to the OpenGL 3D Game Tutorial Series.

In this third episode we'll see how to draw our first triangle in OpenGL!

In particular we will see

  • what points of the space to use in order to render the triangle on the screen,
  • how to use OpenGL Objects like Vertex Array Object and Vertex Buffer Object in order to store correctly the vertices of our triangle,
  • how OpenGL is able to perform the rendering of 2D or 3d Scenes to a 2d screen by means of the so called graphics pipeline.

The code written in this tutorial works on Windows, macOS and Linux!
