Android is using OpenGL ES See http://www.khronos.org/opengles/ Sounds like what you are interested in is gluProject() and gluUnProject() see http://developer.android.com/reference/android/opengl/GLU.html > > 2) I intend to take a 3d format and import into my app, and there is > plenty of documentation on the formats I intend to use, so I can write > an importer... but does android 2.1 support anything out of box? It's openGl ES, so you can draw Lines, Points and Triangles. AFAIK there is no built in calls for drawing higher level structures. For my app I wrote a parser which could take files exported from Blender and generated Java source code which then calls the OpenGL functions to draw the triangles. > > 3) For basic menus and screen overlays, are those typically drawn with > opengl stuff too?

I had to pause the rendering when the menu comes up, or else it was not as responsive as it should be. -Kevin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
