OpenGL beginners + version 2.0?

in Core Library Questions • 11 months ago

Hi, I am new to processing. With version 2, the changes to 3D rendering are not clear to me. There's no openGL documentation on the Reference page. The only examples bundled with 2.0b5 have errors (LowLevelGL error 1280 at top beginDraw(); invalid enumerant), and I can't find any FAQ or way to begin composing using openGL in 2.0. GLGraphics contributed library is not ready for 2.0 yet. Should I just stick to 1.5? Was there a bulletin about ETA on new documentation which I missed? Any advice or suggestions are appreciated. Sorry if I have overlooked anything obvious.

There are some notes at Andrés Colubri blog http://codeanticode.wordpress.com/, in some senses aspects of the GLGraphics have informed the opengl in processing-2.0 after all it was created by Andrés. It is hard to give a recommendation, because it depends where you are coming from if you want immediate results stick with 1.5 but be aware that you are using a much earlier version of OPENGL.

Thanks! Since things still seem to be fluid with regards to 2.0 code persistence, I'll use the older version to get started. I'm very grateful for the hard work of the development team, and can't wait to play with 2.0 once it's out of beta. If Andres, Ben or Casey are reading, thanks for your hard work, guys :)
