- roberttod 5y agoLike learning guitar - the trick is motivating yourself and making small investments by figuring out how to enjoy tiny projects that slowly get you to this level of skill/knowledge. This example uses HTML Canvas, so you could look up some tutorials and start there. At first, programming visually when you've only done API stuff is a whole new world, but it makes a lot of sense with some practice. I found a tutorial which is probably along the lines you'd want to go down, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm1QtePAYTM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm1QtePAYTM
- make3 5y agoTake a graphics class online. The great thing is that learning this has a very fast reward loop. With every small thing you learn, you can try it and it looks great right away. So: Probably take a graphics class, with an intro to shaders and the different lightning methods. Then lookup some cosmetic liquid simulation algorithms by graphics people. Then learn how to do shaders with canvas and javascript.
