Learn OpenGL
Joey de Vries
Joey de Vries’s online book on modern OpenGL (3.3 core), with C++ examples for every chapter. It starts by opening a window and drawing a triangle, then covers lighting, model loading, framebuffers and shadows, and later PBR. One section builds a Breakout clone from start to finish. It assumes you already know some C++.
What you'll learn
- Shaders, textures and coordinate transformations
- Building a free-moving 3D camera
- Phong lighting, materials and light casters
- Loading 3D models with Assimp
- Shadow mapping, normal mapping, HDR and bloom
- Physically based rendering with image-based lighting
