OpenGL ES 1.1 SDK for Sony Ericsson phones UIQ 3-based phones

The OpenGL ES 1.1 SDK provides documentation, source code and utilities to take advantage of the the OpenGL ES graphics library on the P990, M600 and W950. The SDK is designed for usage with the UIQ 3 SDK and relevant Sony Ericsson extensions.

OpenGL ES 1.0 and OpenGL ES 1.1 PowerVR SDK

The PowerVR OpenGL ES SDKs provide a set of documentation, source code and tools that allows developers to create applications for the following development environments:

• TI OMAP2 Family - Symbian, Linux, Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone, Windows Mobile 5 PocketPC
• ARM VP- Symbian, Linux, WinCE 5
• Intel i2700G - Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PC (Dell X50v & Dell X51v), Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC (Dell X51v)
• Philips PNX4008 - Symbian UIQ3
• Freescale i.MX31 - Linux
• PC Emulation - Windows XP - OpenGL ES 1.X, Linux

OpenGL ES 1.0 Linux Sample Reference Implementation

Implements the OpenGL ES 1.0 Common and Common-Lite profiles using a desktop OpenGL 1.3+ implementation as a rasterizer. This is not a registered OpenGL ES implementation, but it has been tested against the the OpenGL ES conformance tests.

Java Binding for the OpenGL ES API, JSR 239

Java Binding for the OpenGL ES API (JSR 239) enables access to the low level OpenGL ES 3D graphics library through a standard Java interface. This specification defines a Java ME optional package creating a standard Java interface into the OpenGL ES API and the EGL API for window system binding. JSR 239 requires an underlying native engine that has been certified by Khronos to be conformant with the OpenGL ES and EGL APIs. This engine must support version 1.0 of the OpenGL ES and EGL and all core extensions associated with those APIs. It may optionally support version 1.1 of the OpenGL ES and EGL APIs.

GLUT|ES - The OpenGL ES Utility Toolkit

GLUT|ES is a port of the OpenSource freeglut implementation for WinCE and Win32 systems based on OpenGL ES. Most of GLUT API v.3 functionnalities are present: window creation, callbacks, menus, timers etc. Only functions that cannot exist with OpenGL ES or are not pertinent have not been ported (like overlays, joysticks on PocketPC, etc). It has been compiled, linked and tested successfully with Hybrid Rasteroid, Vincent and Intel 2700G implementations of OpenGL ES 1.1. It is compatible with both OpenGL|ES Common Light (CL) and Common (CM) profiles.

OpenGL ES tutorial on Windows CE (Chinese)

A series of articles on how progamming OpenGL ES on Windows CE, from initialization to use model exported from modeling tool. Articles are written in Chinese.

OpenGL ES Win32 CE API Programming for Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone using Pelles C

This tutorial details the basics of Win32 CE API programming for the Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone using Pelles C. This tutorial uses ANSI C language and Pelles C Compiler. The basics of setting up OpenGL ES are covered. You should at least have a basic working knowledge of console C before starting.

3D Graphics Made Easier with OpenGL ES for BREW

This article describes how to get your environment set up for OpenGL ES development in BREW, as well as introduces you to the basic concepts you need in order to get started.

7 OpenGL ES Tutorials for Win32/WinCE from TyphoonLabs

This set of 7 tutorials (available as a .zip collection) covers the basic setup and usage of OpenGL ES with mobile devices. All tutorials can be compiled and tested on the Pocket PC profile, but only few modifications are needed to get an executable version for Smartphones. Topics include: Win32/WinCE and OpenGL ES Initialization, 3D shapes, perspective and pointer clicks management, Texturing, Lighting and Fog, Blending and bitmapped fonts, Particles using Point Sprites, and Using Vertex Buffer Objects. In English and Spanish. (Entry from the 2005 OpenGL ES Coding Challenge)

Graphics Rendering with OpenGL ES - GDC 2006 presentations

PPT presentations from the day-long OpenGL ES tutorial on March 21st at Game Developers Conference 2006.

Programming OpenGL ES 1.0 in a BREW Environment (pdf)

This document provides game developers with an overview of the steps needed to build an run BREW OpenGL ES 1.0 applications. Included is an explanation of how to use the ATI IMAGEON 2300 series hardware with the BREW Software Development Kit (SDK).

Mobile 3D Graphics

Mobile 3D Graphics offers an in-depth look at OpenGL ES and teaches fundamental 3D mobile graphics programming with standard APIs. It covers the basic and advanced application program interfaces behind the major wireless and mobile devices supporting 3D graphics applications. It includes: a comprehensive explanation of 3D mobile graphics programming; an extensive range of OpenGL ES code samples; and examples of combining 3D and 2D mobile graphics methods.

Advanced Graphics Programming Using OpenGL

This book is about graphics techniques that dont require esoteric hardware or custom graphics libraries, and that are written in a comprehensible style and do useful things. It is relevant to both OpenGL and OpenGL ES. Sophisticated and novel programming techniques are implemented in C using the OpenGL library, including: coverage of color and lighting; texture mapping; blending and compositing; antialiasing; image processing; special effects; natural phenomena; artistic and non-photorealistic techniques, and many others.

PowerVR SDK example programs

Collection of example programs with source code illustrating: a Matrix Skinned Character in combination with DOT3 Per Pixel Lighting; Morphing in combination with multi-texturing; different primitive types; a model being lit with 8 point lights at high performance; cell-shading (a.k.a. Toon shading) effects applied on an animated model; performance increase when using optimized indexed triangle lists; particle effects with frame buffer blending; spherical harmonics and regular diffuse vertex lighting; PolyBump technology developed by Crytek to enhance 3D-rendering quality without increasing the overhead in real-time rendering; various shadow techniques; different texture filter modes; how to use user clip planes; and a transparent vase with dynamic reflections on its metallic sections.

RollerCoaster2005 (780 KB)

When launched, the OpenGL ES 1.1 program first dynamically generates all the vertices of the track for a few second. Then the animation starts with a first turn around the coaster, a fade in/fade out, and the ride starts. (Entry from the 2005 OpenGL ES Coding Challenge) GNU GPL license.
