• Wanting to get back into this

  I'm not sure if links/tutorials being recommended are really out of date or if I am just not understanding things but I've had trouble. For instance, the https://github.com/ssloy/tinyrenderer/ tutorial, I must be missing something because I don't understand what the frick I'm supposed to do with a .tga the code makes. I learned things in DirectX11. Should I simply just go straight back to that you think?? Or should I go back to making my own rasterizer/renderer...?

• Simple 3D renderer written in Rust

  I've written a simple 3D renderer entirely in Rust from scratch. You can try in an online sandbox here https://dzharvis.github.io/rusterizer/ The renderer was implemented by following these lessons I did not look at the original C++ code, so my code contains hacks or magic numbers in some places :) Anyway, I hope that this can be useful for somebody.

  How is this on the frontpage of HN? This is just someone going through the tinyrenderer tutorial at https://github.com/ssloy/tinyrenderer/wiki

• Are these advanced backgrounds for a career in CV necessary?

  I'm actually writing a book right now that is basically an improved version of tinyRenderer that's designed to be suitable for self study by a teenager with a minimal math background... I've managed to remove all matrices, fourth dimension, quaternions, cross products, and calculus. All they need is sin(), cos(), the inner product, and basic coding knowledge.

• For anyone who's curious about graphics and shader programming, this goes over how the GPU turns triangles and textures into pixels on the screen. It clarifies what the system does for you and at what point it calls the shader code you write. It should be useful no matter what language you're using

  Very neat! I write shaders for a living and I wish I'd had something like this when I was first starting out. If anyone is curious about this and would like to learn more of the low level details I'd recommend https://github.com/ssloy/tinyrenderer .

• New to graphics development, where should I start?

  Last point I'd mention is, if this seems overwhelming and there's too much to learn here you could start with either a smaller project like this one https://github.com/ssloy/tinyrenderer or go the engine route and let an engine take care of all the platform and API details and you can focus exclusively in the gfx like here: https://catlikecoding.com/unity/tutorials/ .

• Is this the right order? Bottom to top
  1 project | reddit.com/r/mathematics | 3 Jun 2021

  For a first-stab at graphics you don't need calculus. You will definitely need it, especially for physically based rendering and raytracing, but you can actually set it aside for now. A classic triangle rasterizer should probably be your first goal. TinyRenderer is a good first project, even if that link's pedagogy is a bit questionable.

  Thanks! I forgot about Pillow. I have used it when I was learning 3D graphics by making a renderer following this tutorial - https://github.com/ssloy/tinyrenderer/wiki. I really recommend it.

  there is tinyrenderer https://github.com/ssloy/tinyrenderer not simulations but a renderer from scratch
