NeHe Lessons

From SDL.NET

The NeHe lessons are a series of demos and tutorials to guide through the various features of OpenGL. SDL.NET provides implementations of most of the NeHe lesson tutorials by using a number of assemblies from the Tao Framework including Tao.OpenGl and Tao.Platform.Windows

NeHe Lesson 07: Texture Filters, Lighting, and Keyboard Control

The right, left, up and down arrows will rotate the cube. The'L' key will change the lighting. The 'F' key will change the filtering. The source code is here (http://cs-sdl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/cs-sdl/trunk/SdlDotNet/examples/SdlDotNetExamples/NeHe/NeHe007.cs?view=markup)

NeHe Lesson 08: Blending

Similar to Lesson 7, but the 'B' key will blend the cube. The source code is here (http://cs-sdl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/cs-sdl/trunk/SdlDotNet/examples/SdlDotNetExamples/NeHe/NeHe008.cs?view=markup)

NeHeLesson 09: Moving Bitmaps in 3D Space

This demo draw a bitmap in 3D space. the 'T' key will change the twinkling of the stars. The 'PageUp' and 'PageDown' keys change the zoom. The 'Up Arrow' and 'Down Arrow' keys change the tilt. The source code is here (http://cs-sdl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/cs-sdl/trunk/SdlDotNet/examples/SdlDotNetExamples/NeHe/NeHe009.cs?view=markup)

NeHe Lesson 10: Loading and Moving through a 3D World

This demo moves you through a small room of rendered walls. Use the arrow keys to move around. The 'F' key will change the filter. The source code is here (http://cs-sdl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/cs-sdl/trunk/SdlDotNet/examples/SdlDotNetExamples/NeHe/NeHe010.cs?view=markup)

NeHe Lesson 11: Flag Effect (Waving Texture)

This demo shows a texture waving liek a flag. The source code is here (http://cs-sdl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/cs-sdl/trunk/SdlDotNet/examples/SdlDotNetExamples/NeHe/NeHe011.cs?view=markup)

NeHe Lesson 12: Display Lists

This demo uses lists to create series of boxes that can be rotated withte arrow keys. The source code is here (http://cs-sdl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/cs-sdl/trunk/SdlDotNet/examples/SdlDotNetExamples/NeHe/NeHe012.cs?view=markup)

NeHe Lesson 13: Bitmap Fonts

This lesson renders a bitmapped font. This lesson is for the Windows platform. The source code is here (http://cs-sdl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/cs-sdl/trunk/SdlDotNet/examples/SdlDotNetExamples/NeHe/NeHe013.cs?view=markup)

NeHe Lesson 14: Outline Fonts

This lesson renders a outline bitmapped font. This lesson is for the Windows platform. The source code is here (http://cs-sdl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/cs-sdl/trunk/SdlDotNet/examples/SdlDotNetExamples/NeHe/NeHe014.cs?view=markup)

NeHe Lesson 15: Texture Mapped Outline Fonts

This lesson renders a texture onto a bitmapped font. This is for the Windows platform. The source code is here (http://cs-sdl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/cs-sdl/trunk/SdlDotNet/examples/SdlDotNetExamples/NeHe/NeHe015.cs?view=markup)

NeHe Lesson 16: Cool Looking Fog

This lesson creates fog around the rotating cube found in Lesson 7. The 'G' key will filter the fog. The source code is here (http://cs-sdl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/cs-sdl/trunk/SdlDotNet/examples/SdlDotNetExamples/NeHe/NeHe016.cs?view=markup)

NeHe Lesson 17: 2D Texture Font

This lesson uses a 2D texture font instead of a bitmapped font. The source code is here (http://cs-sdl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/cs-sdl/trunk/SdlDotNet/examples/SdlDotNetExamples/NeHe/NeHe017.cs?view=markup)

NeHe Lesson 18: Quadrics

This lesson shows how to use quadrics to draw complex shapes such a a cube, a cone, a cylinder and a sphere. The 'space bar' will toggle through the various shapes. The arrow keys will rotate the object in different directions. The source code is here (http://cs-sdl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/cs-sdl/trunk/SdlDotNet/examples/SdlDotNetExamples/NeHe/NeHe018.cs?view=markup)

NeHe Lesson 19: Particle Engine Using Triangle Strips

The source code is here (http://cs-sdl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/cs-sdl/trunk/SdlDotNet/examples/SdlDotNetExamples/NeHe/NeHe019.cs?view=markup)

NeHe Lesson 20: Masking

This lesson uses masking instead of blending to place two images on top of each other. The source code is here (http://cs-sdl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/cs-sdl/trunk/SdlDotNet/examples/SdlDotNetExamples/NeHe/NeHe020.cs?view=markup)

NeHe Lesson 23: Sphere Mapping, Multi-Texturing and Extensions

This lessons shows how to create a reflection off of an object. The space bar will toggle through the various objects. The arrow keys will rotate the object. The source code is here (http://cs-sdl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/cs-sdl/trunk/SdlDotNet/examples/SdlDotNetExamples/NeHe/NeHe023.cs?view=markup)

NeHe Lesson 25: Morphing and Loading Objects from a File

This lesson loads points from a file and displays them in a shape. use the arrow keys to rotate the object. Use the '1-4' keys to toggle through the shapes. The source code is here (http://cs-sdl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/cs-sdl/trunk/SdlDotNet/examples/SdlDotNetExamples/NeHe/NeHe025.cs?view=markup)

NeHe Lesson 26: Clipping & Reflections Using The Stencil Buffer

This lesson creates realistic reflections. Use the arrow keys to rotate the ball. Use the 'Page Up' and 'Page Down' keys to change the ball height. The source code is here (http://cs-sdl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/cs-sdl/trunk/SdlDotNet/examples/SdlDotNetExamples/NeHe/NeHe026.cs?view=markup)

NeHe Lesson 34: Beautiful Landscapes By Means Of Height Mapping

This lesson renders a height map. Use the 'Up' and 'Down' arrow keys to zoom in an out. The source code is here (http://cs-sdl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/cs-sdl/trunk/SdlDotNet/examples/SdlDotNetExamples/NeHe/NeHe034.cs?view=markup)
