Hi, I had a question about OpenGL. Please don''t get angry..I''m new to openGL. Since there''s x,y,z, does openGL already use 3D ? i.e. i can create a 3D Object without knowing much ?? as in i don''t have to draw stuff in 2D such that is looks 3D, i mean openGL does that for me, rite ? Thanks.

Hmm..

yes, but it''s easier with OGL. Don''t ask me why, unless you want to start a flame war.
