OpenGL is the foundation for hardware-accelerated graphics in OS X. It powers Core Animation, Core Image, and Quartz Extreme and gives your app access to amazing 3D graphics capabilities. Use this industry standard graphics API to create a range of apps, including games, animation software, and medical imaging solutions.
Bring amazing graphics to life in your iOS apps with the hardware-accelerated OpenGL ES API. The OpenGL ES API is simpler than its desktop counterpart but uses the same key concepts, including programmable shaders and extensions that will make your 3D app or game stand out.
