Ok I'm going to try and clarify what I'm trying to do here so that maybe it will be easier for you guys to point me in the right direction:

I want to be able to have a collection of renderable objects that contain loaded BufferedImages (sprites) that can render their content to a central frame renderer.  In my Java2D renderer, I did this by passing around a Graphics2D object generated by a VI.

I am first planning on writing class that would perform the necessary conversions and transformations to a BufferedImage on load.

I am using a FPSAnimator to control the rendering loop.

The reason I want a shader is for enabling gamma correction on rendered frames (and possibly lighting later on).

I'm stuck right now on how I should be collectively rendering the images.  Should I be loading them as Textures and drawing them as quads?  Or should I be using glDrawPixels?
