Warp3D Nova: 3D Lighting - Part 2
Time to put the theory learnt last time into practise. This means turning the phong model into shader code, and feeding the GPU the extra data required (surface normals, light/material...

Warp3D Nova: 3D Lighting - Part 1
Simulating lighting is critical to realistic 3D rendering. After all, light is what allows us to see the real world.
GLES2+ on AmigaOS - Hello Triangle
Last time I showed you how to set up a windowed OpenGL ES 2 (GLES2) context on AmigaOS. Now lets draw something.
GLES2 + Warp3D Nova Deliver Up to 4x Speed Boost in "Real-World" Test
Curious how OpenGL ES 2 (GLES2) + Warp3D Nova's performance compares to MiniGL + Warp3D? Well, the first comparison is here courtesy of the Entwickler-X team.
Warp3D Nova Gotchas
Like other Application Programmers Interfaces (APIs), Warp3D Nova has little "gotchas" that catch programmers out. These are common pitfalls that new programmers fall into.
OpenGL ES 2+ on AmigaOS - Getting Started
This tutorial will get you started with OpenGL ES 2+ (GLES2) on AmigaOS. It'll show you how to set up a window and render to it.
Survey Results: We Want to Make Games but Need Graphics Programming Skills
A few weeks ago I created a survey for AmigaOS developers. The goal was to gauge developer interest in Warp3D Nova, and the OpenGL ES 2 wrapper.
Warp3D Nova: 3D At Last - Part 2
It's finally time to render in 3D using Warp3D Nova. Last time we covered the theory; now it's time to put it into practise.
AmiCraftNova: The First Warp3D Nova Game
The first game using Warp3D Nova has just been released. It's a Minecraft type game for AmigaOS called AmiCraftNova.
When Flexibility Goes Bad
It was late morning when I got that sinking feeling. What I thought was an easy job was instead turning into a nightmare.
