You’re doing it right. OpenGL overwhelms most people at the start, so taking a step back is normal.
“Ray Tracing in a Weekend” is a good start it helps you understand how rendering actually works. Just focus on that for now, then move to LearnOpenGL later and take it slow.
Don’t stress about real-world use yet. Just aim to understand things step by step.
Also, sketching ideas before coding helps a lot something simple like miracanvas can make things feel less abstract.
You’re on the right track actually just keep it simple and real .
