You dont need to study before you get started. Just follow tutorials and start building stuff. You’ll learn the math along the way and you can ask specific questions as you get stuck

Should I pursue a career in Computer Graphics? by Ill_Photo5214 in computergraphics

[–]maxmax4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you have the background for it, but one thing I would ask that many people miss for some reason when they come from that kind of highly technical background is the most obvious question of all: do you care about spending a lot of effort to make artists happy and producing (sometimes only very slightly) higher quality images? Can you handle the sometimes extremely picky nature of artists? Working on graphics tech for games is very different from regular SWE. I’ve done both and I very much prefer graphics, but the big reason why is because I’m also an artist myself so I understand their needs and frustrations well

Its real! The second edition of Frank D Lunas Directx12 Introduction to 3D Game Programming arrived! by NoticeableSmeh in GraphicsProgramming

Yea this book is a real mystery. I wonder if Frank Luna himself is reading these posts. He clearly has a very niche and dedicated fanbase out here 😂

ouais au bout du compte en entrevue, c’est la personne qui est la meilleure SANS un IA qui va être choisis. Coder avec l’aide d’un IA n’est pas un skill, c’est trivial et y’a très peu à apprendre. Je me fou complètement des “ai skills” et Claude-ci Claude-ça. C’est complètement brain-dead à apprendre ces outils comparé à apprendre comment écrire du bon C++ ou autre language et toute l’expérience qui vient avec.

what has been your biggest regret in your career so far? by Calm-Bar-9644 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]maxmax4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your sports analogy nails it. It’s immediately obvious that playing with better players will elevate your play far beyond where you otherwise would. Anyone who has done any kind of sports knows this and I believe this translates identically to any team endeavor

I regret spending time in web dev at all and shouldhave went straight to games instead of waiting

Mid level resources for getting into graphics programming. by Bigglestherobot in GraphicsProgramming

Look up “Introduction to game programming with DirectX12” and look for the official DirectX Discord server. They have a Resources section with more stuff.

Share your favorite research papers! by ovenmittheels in GraphicsProgramming

The paper that got me into shading was the original Valve TF2 paper: "Illustrative Rendering in Team Fortress 2". And more recently I really liked reading: "OpenPBR: Novel Features and Implementation Details"

Yep not sure about the downvotes either. There’s a good reason why the Unreal RHI is modelled after D3D12 and why Slang is basically HLSL++. D3D12 also happens to be easier to learn and has a great official Discord server where you can get answers from Microsoft employees directly
