ABSTRACT
OpenGL

The purpose of this seminar topic to introduce the new Graphic Library used into the
Computer , Mobiles , Automobiles Instruments etc. nowadays for various purpose. This paper
discuss about an automatic 3D scene generation system. Recently 3D graphics application has
become in great demand in various fields, especially in the video games industry year by year.
The development of 3D graphics development system for 3D graphics application has been
proposed so far.

The OpenGL is a Open Graphics Library. This is used for designing or creating 2D and
3D computer graphics. It is a standard specification defining a cross language. It is a graphics
library available on numerous platforms including windows. It is a programming interface
mainly for 3D application.

It is an open standard. In OpenGL high quality graphics are possible to create. It is

portable. Implementation available across many platform ,many professional graphics card
support OpenGL.
