Overview
In this 10 hr course, you will learn the essentials of modern OpenGL development to create stunning 3D graphics applications. With a focus on hands-on implementation using OpenGL, GLFW, and C++, this course will guide you from setting up your first graphics window to rendering complex models with advanced lighting.
What I will be able to do after this course
- Set up an OpenGL project using GLFW and OpenGL API for rendering 3D graphics.
- Develop GLSL shaders to control shader programs for vertex and fragment manipulation.
- Render and texture objects with lighting effects for realistic visual representation.
- Load 3D models into OpenGL programs for display and interaction.
- Implement a virtual camera for navigation and scene exploration using keyboard and mouse inputs.
