OpenGL Frameworks

OpenGL Loading Library
An OpenGL Loading Library is a library that loads pointers to OpenGL functions at runtime, core as well as extensions. This is required to access functions from OpenGL versions above 1.1 on most platforms.

OpenGL

API for rendering 2D and 3D Computer Graphics
Developed by SGI in 1992
Open Standard, now maintained by Khronos Group consortium
Used in CAD, Games, VR/AR, etc…

OpenGL ES

OpenGL for Embedded Systems
Implementations by nvidia, AMD, etc.
Available on Windows, MacOSX, Linux, iOS, Android, etc.
Bindings for C, C++, Java, C#, Python, Ruby, Go, etc.
Latest version OpenGL ES 3.2 (2019)
… but anything from OpenGL ES 2.0 onwards is cool!

EGL

Native Platform Interface
Creates & Configures OpenGL ES Context (view/window/fullscreen)
Your platform might come with something else (Mesa, WGL, CGL, GLX, etc.)

Rasterizer

Describe our geomentry in world coordinates (3D)
Rasterizer projects it onto a projection plane (2D) => your screen
Geometry in projection plane are now called fragments
For each of the triangles, we figure out how we wan to color them
If we have a triangle on that surface with 3 colors, the rasterizer will interpolate the values between the colors (pixel by pixel)
Vertex- and Fragment-Shader go the projection and the texture mapping
When you render a scene, the vertex shader is responsible for taking all your geometry and transforms/moves/scales it. Then it’s passed to the Rasterizer stage that does the real projection, figuring out which vertices end up on the 2D surface (plane) => output: fragments.

GLSL Shader Language

C-like syntax
Vector and Matrix types (float, vec2, vec3, vec4, mat4, etc.)
Built-in math functions (sin, cos, exp, sqrt, dot, cross, etc.)
No recursion
Limited loops

Vertex Shader

Runs once for each vertex of each triangle of the geometry
Get per-vertex input from attribute
Global parameters: get parameters from uniform: projection from camera
Pass output to fragment shader in varying
Pass position vector to rasierizer pipeline in gl_Position (magic variable)

Fragment Shader

Runs once for each fragment of each rasterized triangle
Sets the final color for each fragment
Get per-vertex input from varying
Get parameters from uniform: get texture data from uniform sample2D
Pass color vector to fragment pipeline in gl_FragColor

Math

Vectors describe coordinates
Matrices describe transformations

Vector Operations

Scalar Multiplication / dot-product: alpha = acos(dot(u,v))
Vector Multiplication / cross-product: n = cross(u,v)

Transformation Matrices

Translate
Rotate
Scale

Projection Matrix (perspective vs. orthographic)

Matrix Operations

Multiplication of a vector with a matrix: transformed vector
Multiplication of a matric with a matrix: chained transformation
