Im a begginer in opengl and Im learning about opengl 4.3.

I am doing a reference guide book's example using SDL 2.0.
The only thing that i can see is a black window, i dont know what i should do. Anyone can help me?

I tryied many things such as modifing frutum and translation. Any idea?

Here is my code:

This is Demo_OGL_2.h:

Vertex Shader:

#version 330
 
uniform mat4 model_matrix;
uniform mat4 projection_matrix;
 
layout (location = 0) in vec4 position;
layout (location = 1) in vec4 color;
 
out vec4 vs_fs_color;
 
void main(void)
{
    vs_fs_color = color;
    gl_Position = projection_matrix * (model_matrix * position);
}

And the simplest fragment shader:

#version 430
 
in vec4 vs_fs_color;
 
layout (location = 0) out vec4 color;
 
void main(void)
{
    color = vs_fs_color;
}

if u want to try it, just do:

Demo_OGL_2 d;

That's a lot of moving parts. Have you managed to draw anything before, like with a previous tutorial? Anything at all?

First the low-hanging fruit: I'd check for GL errors at the end of the render loop, check that there were no errors compiling and linking the shaders, and I'd turn face culling off just in case.

Then I'd try to draw *something* on the screen, like a single triangle or a couple of points, as fast as possible. Strip out and simplify large chunks of code until you see something. Then you can start re-adding the stuff piece by piece and see which of them was the problem.

Assuming your GL is in compatibility mode, you can initially disable the shader program and just draw your primitive with glBegin, glVertex etc. If that works, try to draw with the simplest possible shaders, like a vertex shader that ignores input entirely and outputs the positions of a single fixed triangle based on gl_VertexID, and a fragment shader that outputs constant white. Then add the position input back in, add indexed drawing, etc.

Yes, I tryed some tutorials before. I post in opengl forums too. They solved it!.

I had to change only one line:

thx anyway!!
