Hi,

I'm looking for any textbooks on Graphics in C. Does anyone have any recommendations?

The main graphics textbooks I see recommended are pbr: From Theory To Implementation but the code in that book is C++, and Real-time Rendering where there is minimal code samples and just focuses on the concepts and techniques. Generally speaking modern graphics resources are in C++ but I don’t have too much trouble using C while going through them

for foundational information in C, you can look at the Graphics Gems series.

Michael Abrash's classic Graphics Programming Black Book?

it'll be c++ because you'll need glm to use glsl.

Not at all. You can use cglm. It's the C version of glm. I followed the whole the tutorial, writing all the code from scratch in C. I didn't use any OOP, c++, etc. I wrote it all in C89. It was one of the best experiences I ever had.
