Hi everyone!

I'm a self-taught programmer with absolutely nil 3D programming experience.

A client of mine has related to me an idea for an iPhone app that requires OpenGL ES 2.0 for it's inherently complex 3D structure and animations.

Where do I start on this ( albeit long ) journey toward OpenGL ES competence?

I'm willing to put in a tremendous amount of time and effort into learning, and if i could please get some pointers to where I should start and what to expect, that would be awesome!

iPod/iPhone OpenGL ES UIView flashes when updating

I have a simple iPhone application which uses OpenGL ES (v1) to draw a line based on the touches of the user. In the XCode Simulator, the code works perfectly. However, when I install the app onto an iPod or iPhone, the OpenGL ES view "flashes" when drawing the line. If I disable the line drawing… >>> More
