OpenGL
3D, Animation and Game Development
OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is a cross-platform, cross-language API for rendering 2D and 3D vector graphics, widely used in video games, CAD software, and scientific visualization. Graphics programmers and game developers use it to directly control GPU hardware for real-time rendering across Windows, Linux, and macOS.
