Do you find 3D programming boring ?

Less than one minute read time.

For a long time, I've not really been interested in 3D programming.

(Well, I've done some minor OpenGL programming many years ago, but I must admit that I'm more of a dev-tools programmer)

After watching the video Alban linked to in ARM Processor - Sowing the Seeds of Success - Computerphile, I decided to watch some more from Computerphile.

The videos by John Chapman are spoken in a very clear and very easy to understand english, and they explain advanced technology in a way so it's easy to follow.

If you're new to 3D programming, this might be a good starting point.

A Universe of Triangles

True Power of the Matrix

Triangles to Pixels

Visibility Problem

Lights and Shadows in Graphics

    I never really liked math because I have do not see what all these things much can serve.

    I started to really like it when I discovered the matrix calculation because there it already talk me more !
    Thanks jensbauer for have share these videos
