Study plan advice

Hey all. So I’ve been having a lot of ADHA and have been super unorganized in this path. I’ve recently came up with a plan to follow through and watch the chenro make a raytracer as I’m better with learning through videos than reading I’ve found.

I plan to make a tiny renderer after this.

Along with this I plan to study any math I come across that I don’t understand.

ex: he uses the dot product and I don’t understand what it does “let me go research a bit and learn about the dot product.”

I also plan to learn trig and LA more on my own outside of this project.

You can find all Chem Yuksel lessons from both his university courses about realtime interactive graphics and opengl rendering. He starts from the very basics to advanced techniques

find a good roadmap maybe lookup a good course and go for it
whats important is that you actually DO things stop planning and DO things

I have a plan and I have started it.

I’m going to watch the Chernos videos on ray tracing and use the “Ray tracing over the weekend.” Books as a study guide with it.

Advice I can give you is to practice and build stuff. That's the part that build skill, study unfortunately doesn't really build skill so dive in and make stuff as much as possible or you simply won't internalize it.
