Higher level wrappers for LWJGL 3 functionality.
Efforts have been moved towards JGLOOm, see that organization, as well as Swiss GL.
For new programmers or people learning the ways of OpenGL graphics, the confusing method names and pointer handling can be quite difficult. This is a library with classes that are built for beginners, with features tailored for those who are making the move from LWJGL 2 to LWJGL 3. Several core features and display handling are now included, and soon to come are other input handlers and possibly new shading resources.
One noticable difference between LWJGL 2 and LWJGL 3 is that the old Display and other built-in classes were removed. Its replacement was the fully functional and capable GLFW library originally written in C. To replace these missing classes, this library now has its own that utilize the GLFW library in as efficient of a way as possible.
For easier management of the application's window.
Display display = new Display();
display.setTitle("Display Test");
display.setDimensions(800, 450);
display.setVSync(true);
display.create();
Render more easily into textures and use for post processing.
Framebuffer framebuffer = new Framebuffer(1920, 1080);
framebuffer.bind();
// Render into framebuffer.
framebuffer.release();
// Modify matrices and set uniforms.
freambuffer.renderOut();
Keeps track of projection, view and model matrices.
MatrixSet matrices = new MatrixSet();
matrices.setIdentities();
matrices.setUniforms(shader);
Renders interleaved vertex data up to GL3.3 standards.
/* Interleaved X, Y, Z, R, G, B, A, S, T */
float[] data = { 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0 };
FloatBuffer dataBuffer = BufferUtils.createFloatBuffer(data.length);
dataBuffer.put(data);
dataBuffer.flip();
MeshRenderer renderer = new MeshRenderer();
renderer.createInterleaved(dataBuffer, 1);
renderer.renderInterleaved();
Create GLSL shaders for lighting and effects.
Shader stdShader = Shader.createStdShader();
stdShader.bind();
stdShader.setStdUniforms(matrices, 0);
Make your rendering more colorful and realistic.
