Opengl programmingscientific opengl tutorial 01 wikibooks. Download and install the opengl extensions viewer by following the link in the related information section below. Then to make sure the up vector is perpendicular to the direction and right vectors you recalculate it as their cross product, because when you give an up vector you cant make sure its perpendicular to the eyecenter vector view. When a line or a curve gets rasterized, you usually end up with a jagged, stepladder effect.
Contribute to fendevelguide tomodernopenglfunctions development by creating an account on github. One way you could think about this, your arm is a vector from the camera position your shoulder to the camera look at point your index finger if you stick you thumb out, this is your up vector.
