Project mention: I have a few months to prepare for an interview. Is there a project that would get me at least part of the way there for the interview? | reddit.com/r/GraphicsProgramming | 2023-01-23
In terms of a project which would be worthwhile, I think building a software rasterizer from scratch is a useful first step. TinyRenderer is a great place to start. Looking at the high level overview of many graphics subjects, ScratchAPixel is a valuable resource. Theres also just great information in some of the rote graphics programming textbooks (Michael Abrash's Black Book fully available online from Jason Gregory, and this book is really interesting). The "RayTracer in a weekend" series is also (seemingly) very illuminating (no pun intended).
