You packed a lot into 4 minutes. I had to pause the video many times, but it all worked out beautifully in the end! Excellent job!

To those who are getting errors early on, try to add an additional header file from the same imgui/backends folder called "imgui_impl_opengl3_loader.h" with the rest of the headers you got earlier.

Thank you for this!! Keep tutorials like these coming; us engine devs are a dying breed lol

[salieri]

Very clean and straightforward, Thanks!

[KlezHistory]

All tutorials should be clean like this man, aaah i wish!

[MegaMorche]

great and comprehensible tutorial, I made an error and forgot the # in front of "version 330" spent like half an hour figuring that out. subscribed

[narottams]

Amazing tutorial man! Most practically

I've been watching your videos a lot lately and I noticed the custom like and dislike bar you made that seems to update daily any possibility of showing us how to make that perhaps pointing us in the direction of some good resources! Thanks again for all the great videos

[loufadoros]

Very nice, I had though some hard time to keep up with the commands as they were in Fast forward. I have a question how would be possible to change the background colour on the window?

[pickles]

Nice 👍 i was looking for something like this. May I ask if you have any idea how to remove the main window of imgui. I only found a way to do it in dx9. Thanks.

[MaxwellGauss-znyx]

This probably a stupid question but i keep getting '' can't open glad.c from source '' even though i downloaded it from github from the triangle video and added it to source files

[stonemclaren]

Great video, is it possible with ImGui to change a color of text and a couple of secs later change it back like a flicker effect without using sleep() or chrono because that messing with things

[Sparrowhawk-zk]

Hi victor, can you do a tutorial on rendering multiple viewports using imgui

[cyrusparvereshi]

One thing I'd like to say is that I got an error without also extracting the file "imgui_impl_opengl3_loader.h" into the Header Files / ImGui filter of the project. (and the ImGui project folder)

[jeezlaqueez]

mine just says cannot open source file

[openroomxyz]

Is Dear imgui different from imgui or are they the same thing ?

[SkyPoly]

could you make a tutorial on Opengl render to texture i want my opengl view in a imgui widget with the imgui docking system

[Eggnog]

Those following in later years, use version 1.82 from the releases tab (page 3 as of posting). Functions change over the years xD

[Joeonthetues]

where did you get the source code ik its in the description but idk how to get the main.cpp like you had open plz help
