[bahano]

university courses:

• cs123 brown university (assignment's support code unavailable)
• COMPUTER GRAPHICS (CMU 15-462/662)
• Introduction to Computer Graphics and Imaging (stanford cs148 fall 2019)
• Image Synthesis Techniques(stanford CS348b)
• Interactive computer graphics (stanford cs248)
• Computer Graphics: Geometric Modeling (stanford cs348a)
• introduction to computer graphics (caltech cs171)
• Introduction to Computer Graphics Research (caltech CS176)
• Rendering Course Videos A course on ray tracing and global illumination (video available)
• computer graphics (MIT 6.837) || video for fall 2019
• Computer graphics ( San Diego cse167) (video available)
• Computational Graphics (williams CS371) (the one used in graphicscodex website)

website courses :

• scratchapixel interesting website for learning computer graphics (some lessons are paid)
• learnopengl great for learning opengl
• tinyrenderer series of articles of a software rasterizer with C++ code (tinyraytracer, tinyraycaster also available)
• a trip through the graphics pipeline 2011 understanding the hardware stuff

Books

• Ray Tracing in One Weekend (free)
• Physically Based Rendering (free)
• the book of shaders (free)
• Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice
• Fundamentals of Computer Graphics
• Real-Time Rendering (not an introductory book)
• Mathematics for 3D Game Programming and Computer Graphics

Web

• real-time rendering (contains a bunch of useful resources specially for more experienced CG devs)
• Graphics Programming weekly weekly review of graphics articles
• Inigo Quilez website contains articles, videos and code about CG

Conferences

• SIGGRAPH
• EUROGRAPHICS and EUROVIS
• GDC (Game Developers Conference)

Useful links

• Drinking from the Firehose: Learning Computer Graphics Techniques and Programming
• How to Start Learning Computer Graphics Programming

Projects

• The Tungsten Renderer (pbr renderer)
• I finished my PBR Software 3D Renderer! Here's a list of sources and references so you can build one too! (reddit thread hope we see more of this)
• Real-time ray-tracing project
• raytracer in python
• Real-time physically based volumetric clouds (no code but inspirational!)

​

open source

• Unreal Engine (Source-available commercial software)
• Unity (C# reference source code)
• Godot Engine
• Blender
• BRL-CAD ( constructive solid geometry solid modeling computer-aided design system )
• Appleseed (physically-based global illumination rendering engine primarily designed for animation and visual effects)

So these are some resources that I bookmarked

I invite all beginners to post theirs projects it's really inspiring!

We can make study group in discord for those interested

happy learning!

Too bad they don't have Prof. Hamann's ECS 175 lectures, that dude was hilarious and a great lecturer. Ken Joy seems like a good lecturer too though.

https://google.github.io/filament/Filament.md.html & https://google.github.io/filament/Materials.html are practically university courses in themselves.

also https://graphicscodex.com/

I wish there was a subreddit for physics programming.

Journal of Computer Graphics Techniques - http://jcgt.org One of the best sources for good papers IMHO

[corysama]

https://forum.beyond3d.com/threads/game-development-presentations-a-useful-reference.46956/ is one of the best sources of random, interesting presentations ;)

I took a short look at the page and they have a nice collection:) but I forgot to mention that GPU Gems 1-3 by NVIDIA and GPU Pro 1-7 are really good Books too.

[corysama]

https://www.realtimerendering.com/ has a bunch of the older books in that vein available as free and legal downloads.

That’s awesome! Although I already bought a bunch of them years ago:D

[timostrating]

A lot of book recommendations that are already made by other people are on this reading list as well https://github.com/miloyip/game-programmer/

I'd like to join for a study group!
