Requirements

Having basic OpenGL programming notions and computer graphic fundamentals can help, but the course starts from scratch

Prepare the needed environment to follow the practical sessions (if you don't know how, don't worry, it's very easy, and I'll explain it to you in the course!)

A decent computer and of course, desire to learn!

Description

Become an OpenGL professional and learn one of employer's most requested skills nowadays!This comprehensive course is designed so that Graphics Programmers, Computer Graphics Researchers, Software Developers and Creative Professionals can learn OpenGL from scratch to use it in a practical and professional way. Never mind if you have no experience in the topic, you will be equally capable of understanding everything and you will finish the course with total mastery of the subject.After several years working in computer graphics, we have realized that nowadays mastering OpenGL for is very necessary in computer graphics, game development, or other graphics-related fields. Knowing how to use this tool can give you many job opportunities and many economic benefits, especially in the world of graphics programming.The big problem has always been the complexity to perfectly understand OpenGL requires, since its absolute mastery is not easy. In this course we try to facilitate this entire learning and improvement process, so that you will be able to carry out and understand your own projects in a short time, thanks to the step-by-step, detailed and hands-on examples of every concept.With 9 exclusive hours of video, this comprehensive course leaves no stone unturned! It includes both practical exercises and theoretical examples to master OpenGL. The course will equip you to develop games, simulations, visualizations, and applications with 2D and 3D graphics in a practical way, from scratch, and step by step.We will start with the setup of the needed work environment on your computer, regardless of your operating system and computer.Then, we'll cover a wide variety of topics, including:● Introduction to OpenGL and course dynamics● Getting Started with Computer Graphics and OpenGL Environment Setup● Mastering 2D Graphics by learning Rendering Modes and Shape Drawing● Transformation Techniques- Translation, Rotation, Scaling, and More● Exploring Textures- Mapping, Filtering, and Mipmapping● Entering the World of 3D, Creating a 3D Cube and Depth Buffering● Illuminating the Path-Lighting Models and Material Properties in OpenGL● Advanced OpenGL Techniques-Rendering Multiple Objects and Framebuffers● Modern Graphics with OpenGL-Introduction to Vulkan and DirectX● Harnessing the Power for Games● Final Project and Reflection-Showcasing Your OpenGL Journey● Mastery and application of absolutely ALL the functionalities of OpenGL and you will have a final quize to check your learning● Practical hands-on exercises, complete projects and much more!In other words, what we want is to contribute our grain of sand and teach you all those things that we would have liked to know in our beginnings and that nobody explained to us. In this way, you can learn to build and manage a wide variety of projects and make versatile and complete use of OpenGL. And if that were not enough, you will get lifetime access to any class and we will be at your disposal to answer all the questions you want in the shortest possible time.Learning an OpenGL and Computer Graphics has never been easier. What are you waiting to join?
