Sane, I can't agree with your assumption that using DirectX or OpenGL is cheating or counter-productive. They are hardly just-add-water solutions. Truthfully they are fairly close to the hardware. In fact, OpenGL even moreso than DirectX. You still have to learn the math, but not the intricate details of the graphics architecture. Drawing vertices as you are now impedes progress if anything, since rather than working with traditional vertex buffers and matrices, for example, you are inventing your own solutions. While that can be a good thing when learning some topics, not so much in this case. As said, seeing as how OpenGL is considered somewhat lower level than DirectX, that might be the better place to learn the theory.
Also note that DirectX and OpenGL are not 3d engines, but rather interfaces to the underlying hardware. Itt is up to the developer to add another layer, the famed 3d engine. An example of a 3d engine would be Unreal or Source (Note that these also happen to implement other features such as scripting and network play, good canidates to be called something closer to "game engine", but you get the point).

I can't use OpenGL or DirectX because I have to use Turing.

And why you want to do that in Turing?

This topic keeps going around in circles, doesn't it? I mean really, I've seen questions to answers so many times in this thread, it's making my head spin.
And I quote: Quote:

From the first post:

There are OpenGL bindings for Python, which is why I keep pressin' it  PyOpenGL I have only experimented with Python, but it seems a fun language.

I did mention PyOpenGL in the second post in this topic, but i don't think he really wants to use OpenGL.

Oh, right. Those were excellent links. I didn't know the red book was available online (I have the 3rd Edition, but the first is definitely sufficient for many things).

Well I originally intended to do it in Python. But then realised it was for school, so I needed Turing. So yep... I'm going ahead with Turing, I'll just be using wire-frame models, to increase speed. Thanks for the help, you can close this thread I guess.
P.S. IF YOU WANT TO GO ON A DATE OR TALK TO ME YOU CAN FIND ME ON AMERICANSINGLES.COM. MY NAME IS IAMABIGFATLOSER AND IM 98 YEARS OLD. JUST LOOK UP THE PROFILE. Sorry, that was my friend. |
