Introduction to OpenGL
OpenGL gives the programmer an interface with the graphics hardware. OpenGL is a low-level, widely supported modeling and rendering software package, available on all platforms. It can be used in a range of graphics applications, such as games, CAD design, or modeling (to name a few).
OpenGL is the core graphics rendering option for many 3D games, such as Quake 3. The providing of only low-level rendering routines is fully intentional because this gives the programmer a great control and flexibility in his applications. These routines can easily be used to build high-level rendering and modeling libraries. The OpenGL Utility Library (GLU) does exactly this, and is included in most OpenGL distributions!
Unlike DirectX, OpenGL is only a graphics API; it doesn't include support for functionality such as sound, input, or networking (or anything not related to graphics). That's ok, however, because in future tutorials I will teach you how you how to use DirectX for these things.
OpenGL was originally developed in 1992 by Silicon Graphics, Inc, (SGI) as a multi-purpose, platform independent graphics API. Since 1992 all of the development of OpenGL has been headed by the OpenGL Architecture Review Board (ARB). This exclusive board is composed of the major graphics vendors and industry leaders. Some of these are Intel, IBM, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Silicon Graphics.
