Why would I need to change it?
Does GLM not use the same standard for matrices?

Thanks Dan, the matrix you showed helped. I just had a really simple matrix set up with the final "-1". I'd seen the other matrix before in my book, but I assumed it wasn't necessary. I'm not sure why. It seemed like all I was really doing was dividing by the z, so I should only need to ch...

Should I have not tried making my own projection matrix? Should I have just used the GL math functions? I'm beginning to think that would be wiser.

Ugg. I had left this program for a week and came back to it again, only to realize I wasn't testing to see if the perspective uniform was working. I put in an error message and it came up. That makes sense, as nothing would show no matter how I used it. Once I figure out what is missing I will see i...

For some odd reason my perspective projection matrix is not working. I created it as an array, with the second to last element being -1/2. I applied it in the vertex shader, which compiles without error, but nothing shows on the screen. One thing that isn't clear in what I've read is whether the vec...

Interesting article.

Ok. This is interesting. I have a couple books on computer graphics, both of which discuss the concept. It is just a little difficult to understand. I think I understand a bit better. Looking through my books, the issue is that the w isn't really to be thought of as a coordinate in the program. It i...

I've been getting back into graphics programming, which I tried before but never really took seriously. Regarding perspective, I don't understand what I'm doing with the "w" variable in the matrix. What IS the w variable? What does it represent? Why do I use it for perspective? What is it ...

I'm using masm32 now. Been reading one lesson online about it. I keep having issues installing masm32 because every time it gets to installing, it can't find kernel32.lib. I finally searched the computer for it and found it in "Windows Kits." and "Microsoft SDKs." Where is it EXP...

So am I supposed to understand him? There is no point in sticking it out if I should simply be reading a book about it instead. I'm not trying to impress anyone, I simply stop using a source if it isn't comprehensible to me. Endurance by itself doesn't produce understanding if I'm not starting where...

Oh, that's the one I was talking about.

I have no clue what the man in the tutorial is talking about.
He seems to assume I already understand the basics of assembly, which I do not.
Perhaps I should read about it extensively first.

I've been playing and learning with C++ on and off for a while now, through books, experimentation, and a little bit with graphics.
What are the chances I would learn anything valuable by studying assembly? Have any of you learned assembly and found it helpful in any way?

Ok. Let me just try to get everyone's opinion on this; Do you think there is a significant difference between the personalities and interests of men and women? I think there is a significant difference between the interests of men and women. That doesn't mean that a woman should be discouraged from ...

Does Falco have his Master degree yet? When will Falco get his Master of Engineering degree?
Is he still going to try to go and acquire the title of "Dr"?
What is the full explanation of Falco's education plans?
