OpenGL Framebuffer Tutorial Now Up
Due to the voting poll on the site, I can safely announce that the want for a Framebuffer tutorial outmatched the other suggested tutorials with the following outcome:
1 – OpenGL: Framebuffers (88 votes)
2 – GLSL: Bumpmapping (52 votes)
3 – OpenCL: Setup (20 votes)
4 – XNA: Setup (14 votes)
Therefore I have written and put up a fairly extensive tutorial on creating and using frame buffers in OpenGL. You can find it at: Framebuffer Tutorial
I have also modified the GLUT keyboard input tutorial to also feature special keys, such as arrow keys.
I’ll be putting up another poll shortly for upcoming tutorials, and yes, I do take suggestions!
Cheers,

Hey, Donald!
Is it me or have you suddenly disappeared?
Your website is reaaaally great and inspiring and has helped me a lot with my 3d programming. I wanted to write you an email and thank you for your trouble putting these awesome tutorials together for people like me, but figured you’re probably a busy man, so I’d not bother you directly through email and rather write a comment here.
Then again, you’re most probably getting emailed for every comment on this blog though, but nevermind that.
Once again, a BIG thank you for all your work which has truly inspired me to do things, which years ago, I wouldn’t even dream about.
I really hope you haven’t stopped with the tutorials and am really hoping I’ll see a GLSL Normal/Bump mapping tutorial some time this year. That would be OMEGA-awesome ;}
Anyway, thanks again,
Audrius.
Hey Audrius,
Thanks for the support, it means alot!
I definitely have not disappeared 🙂 I’ve been rewriting the OpenGL rotation tutorial, starting the GLSL bump mapping tutorial, and have made a lot of optimizations to the site recently (knocked 60kb off of images on every page, just today). Unfortunately it’s taking a little while as it is assignment time at Uni again.
Feel free to email me though, I know about these comments through my email address anyway 😉
Thanks again for your comment, it made my day.
Cheers,
Donald
