>>I took one 3D graphics class in undergrad and it was all so absurdly low level basics, most just mathematics, it never remotely showed how something like this could actually be put together. I feel like this is a huge problem in higher education especially: bottom-up learning leaves students bored, confused and demotivated because they don’t understand the purpose of what they are learning and have no immediate use for it. Whereas top-down learning, where you start with the end result and work backwards/downwards from it, can provide the enjoyment and motivation necessary to persevere, especially when the subject matter is challenging and the road long and arduous.
