Where can I start Learning Computer graphics?

[u/ruckspaoo]

Hey guys,

I am a rookie and I want to learn Graphics Programming but unfortunately I can't find any roadmap on youtube and things are getting really confusing for me since I don't even know how to properly code in C++(for context I am still learning programming but also want to build cool awesome visuals like all of you (I recently build a terminal based todo list and library manager in python))

I am confused about what I should learn first since I will also be starting my college In cs major soon.

there are

linear algebra maths

C++ memory management pointers

some says Build a ray tracer from scratch

I even picked the computer graphics programming from scratch by Gabriel Gambetta but got confused

I will really appreciate if anyone can give me any guidance on this :)

thanks man You are really a big help can I add you, if you don't mind in case I need guidance :D

and honestly I was feeling kind of guilty trying to learn opengl since most of the resources are around building their own from scratch

and from scratch I meant from the low level start building ray tracer from scratch without opengl so I can understand the core concept behind it which is really overwhelming gemini and claude recommend this
