OpenGL Tip of the Day

In GLSL 1.10 all uniforms are assigned a default value of 0 when a program is successfully linked.  In GLSL 1.20 all uniforms, except for sa...

A uniform is only active if the GLSL compiler and/or linker determine that it is used in the shader, or cannot conclusively determine that i...

To render to multiple textures, you still use the glDrawBuffers function. However, you use the enums from GL_EXT_framebuffer_object . Exa...

Rendering to multiple buffers, known as MRT to the Direct3D world, can be accomplished with the GL_ARB_draw_buffers extension. Using this e...

It is possible to stream updates to a texture, often skipping a costly data copy, using the GL_ARB_pixel_buffer_object extension which was p...

While you can query the location of a generic vertex attribute in a GLSL shader by calling glGetAttribLocation(GLuint program, const GLchar ...

OpenGL supports fast crossplatform offscreen rendering through the GL_EXT_framebuffer_object extension. To render to a texture using the fra...
