Newbie: Initializing and drawing 3D Objects

OpenGL Development JOGL Development
#1

Hi,

I’m new to this and got some help from a previous thread, but I still can’t seem to find an example of where I can display three-dimensional objects, for instance, cubes, spheres, etc…

I have read from different sources and have no problems with ordinary 2d polygons, but I can’t get my head round how to display a 3d object.

Any examples I find aren’t designed for jogl, but for C/C++. I don’t have any experience in C/C++, so its proving to be difficult for me!

Any help would be great, a simple example would be even better!! ;D

Thanks,
lillyhammer

they’re done in C but at the end of each is a list of ports to other languages
most of em have a port to jogl
