Hello Everyone,

I would like to ask you what could be your recommandation for an opengl c++ mooc course. I have scanned on udemy but they do not cover like text rendering and rotation of text around axis for example.

My goal will be to implement a waterfall control and all usefull information will be really appreciate to follow step by step the opengl concept and usage.

Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards.

What I have tried:

I have scanned on udemy but they do not cover like text rendering and rotation of text around axis for example.

I have found:
www.udemy.com/graphics-with-modern-opengl
www.udemy.com/learn-modern-opengl-programming
www.udemy.com/opengl-and-glsl-fundamentals-cpp

But more basic and also text rendering will be nice to have.

Solution 2

I learn OpenGL 4.x from OpenGL Essentials LiveLessons (Video Training), Downloadable | InformIT[^]. The trainer, Paul Varcholik, has a PhD and also have a DX 11 course for sale.

I put what I learned into writing my slide show app and its Video Encoder. See my CP article below.

H264 Video Encoder for OpenGL[^]

Thank you, looks promising.

The target I have received as mission is to develop a waterfall control.
I do not see where the cover of text display and rotation around axis, font selection.
As you have already followed the course, are these parts also covered as I will need to prompt the annotations ?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards.

I do not remember if text display is taught, but static text is just transparent texture. You can implement your own font atlas class where each character is a texture. Google "OpenGL font atlas"

I implemented a static text display in this Youtube video.

Rotation is covered. Font selection code can google yourself. Since my slide show app is mainly quads, I do not pay attention to those advanced OpenGL topics. The waterfall is definitely not taught in the course.
