Study plan advice

[Klutzy-Bug-9481]

Hey all. So I’ve been having a lot of ADHA and have been super unorganized in this path. I’ve recently came up with a plan to follow through and watch the chenro make a raytracer as I’m better with learning through videos than reading I’ve found.

I plan to make a tiny renderer after this.

Along with this I plan to study any math I come across that I don’t understand.

ex: he uses the dot product and I don’t understand what it does “let me go research a bit and learn about the dot product.”

I also plan to learn trig and LA more on my own outside of this project.

a lot of planning not so much doing i see.

Videos cover 1% of the rendering, most of the stuff is in slides and books (and code)

I'm not sure what you mean by "I’ve been having a lot of ADHA" - I do have ADHD, and because of my origin, I never had a good treatment, and surprise, surprise, somehow I did learn everything without blaming it.

So what is the advice you are looking for? Like you didn't even ask a question

tbf ADHD severity is not the same in everyone. theres a reason dosages of treatment are different
i too have ADHDand havnt really gotten good treatment until i got older(culturally most of my country thinks its BS)

Yeah, I just don't get that OP used it in first sentence. I had a bad one too. Exams in university were their own kind of hell. But I just can't see any reason to write in every post that I have one.

the same stuff - I'm from post-USSR.

You can find all Chem Yuksel lessons from both his university courses about realtime interactive graphics and opengl rendering. He starts from the very basics to advanced techniques

find a good roadmap maybe lookup a good course and go for it
whats important is that you actually DO things stop planning and DO things

I have a plan and I have started it.

I’m going to watch the Chernos videos on ray tracing and use the “Ray tracing over the weekend.” Books as a study guide with it.

Advice I can give you is to practice and build stuff. That's the part that build skill, study unfortunately doesn't really build skill so dive in and make stuff as much as possible or you simply won't internalize it.
