The design of the main graduation on the OpenGL application to the development of a 3D animation methods. Include : computer animation simple introduction, including computer animation (Computer animation) production areas and the principle of computer animation and classify, and then introduced the OpenGL application development procedures used in the environment : OpenGL and Visual C + +. and every one of them describing the OpenGL animation by the use of some techniques : OpenGL Modeling (Modeling) and transformation, color mode settings. Illumination (Ligting) and the material, anti-aliasing (Antialiasing) display list (Display list) and double-buffer technology (double-buffer) Finally, a practical routines on how to establish an OpenGL 3D animation.
