I'd like to try and see if I can get my 3D Panel to render (no guages or stuff yet), but I'm a total nub with 3D programming. So I've found what looks like a context class in plib, but am not sure how to clear the z-buffer as mentioned. Also, any suggestions on how to proceed (general ideas and class names are both helpful). Still trying to find a good book. Have just picked up a copy of Hawkins' "OpenGL game programming"....but I'm thinking that there might be something better for someone who isn't interested in using DirectX.
