I wholeheartedly agree with you. The tests do help a lot.
Funnily enough, I own PBR too (it's in my reading queue), and, having skimmed through it, it seems math heavy. I think I'll leave it for last. My current queue is:
- RTC (for fun),
- 3d Math primer for Graphics and Game Dev by Dunn (to solidify the math part)
- Foundations of Game Engine Dev - Mathematics, by Lengyel (because when it comes to math, overkill is underrated)
- CGPP (to get the basics down)
... not sure about the order for my other books, but then...
- OpenGL SuperBible (second time around, sadly)
- Real-Time Rendering
- PBR
For the math books, I was thinking to do the same thing as you: do the math by hand, and then translate them into tests.
- fesoliveira 7y ago> - OpenGL SuperBible (second time around, sadly) I tried using the SuperBible in order to learn OpenGL a few years back, but it always seems to be a bit too dense for my taste. Since OpenGL itself is an API specification and usually you would learn the basics of 3D graphics before delving into it, I recommend using the fantastic Learn OpenGL site (https://learnopengl.com https://learnopengl.com). It goes through the basics of OpenGL from ground-up and touches on more advanced techniques, such as shadow mapping and deferred shading. It is a fantastic site and a great resource for learning the API.
