What you'll learn
- Learn all about shaders and how the graphics pipeline works to render images on screen in OpenGL
- Students will learn different transformations, projections and views.
- Understand how VAO and GLM works
- Master projections in 2D and 3D environments in OpenGL
- Learn about ambient, diffuse and specular lighting and how they work in theory. Build and code your own 'Light' class to set up lighting.
- Understand, code and use your own textures in OpenGL
Requirements
- Knowledge of C++
Students will learn about the different projections, namely 2D and 3D and will have the ability to start moving about in a 3D environment. Understand different transformations, projections and views. Students will also learn about GLM and link the library to their project.
Course will go over shaders and how the graphics pipeline works to render images on screen. Understand usage of vertex attributes and uniforms and how data is passed to the shaders using these. Students will learn about ambient, diffuse and specular lighting and how they work in theory. Learn to code and set up lighting for your scene. Add texture to your objects and learn about texture mapping.
By the end of this course, you should be able to code your textures, setup lighting for your 3D scene and move objects in a 3D environment and have a sounds grasp regarding the internals of OpenGL.
Who this course is for:
- Beginners curious about OpenGL and 3D game development
- Developers interested in basics of 3D game development and graphics
- C++ developers looking to add OpenGL to their skillset
