    The book is a great place to look at https://github.com/glium/glium/tree/master/book And glium itself is a bit outdated might be good to look at alternatives like glow

    Hi rustaceans! I glued this prototype together with vtkio and glium. There are more features that are unsupported than supported at this point, but the code is here if you want to check it out: https://github.com/JeffIrwin/skillet
  • [GLIUM] - how to pass structs as uniforms to shaders
    1 project | /r/rust | 9 Jul 2022
    https://github.com/glium/glium/issues/941 is the relevant Glium bug/feature request. Long story short, structs as uniforms aren't supported by Glium's current design, it looks like.
  • should i learn glium?
    3 projects | /r/rust | 12 Jun 2022
    Should i learn glium (https://crates.io/crates/glium)? i have some experience in opengl (C++) and i would like to use the opengl functionality in the Rust ecosystem.
  • How to abstract OpenGL for future use?
    4 projects | /r/opengl | 8 Feb 2022
    I can recommend https://github.com/glium/glium as a good, safe abstraction. There was a time when I wanted to learn shaders and write complex pipelines with several stages, this library allowed me to learn about the important objects and their responsibilities without having to program the very verbose chunks of code to initialize. I learned the following:
  • Where to find resources to learn OpenGL with Rust ?
    6 projects | /r/rust | 19 Jan 2022
    Glium is a Rust-y OpenGL wrapper, and its repository contains a discussion that should give you an idea whether this is what you want to use, as well as some tutorial.
  • Workaround for counter that goes out of scope
    1 project | /r/learnrust | 19 Jan 2022
    With a gluim window open, I want to count the number of user clicks and retain the number after the window is closed. In order to keep the program running after the window is closed, I had to change event_loop.run to event_loop.run_return and I think that means all variables will be moved into the closure and my counter goes out of scope.
