Old graphics dev here who has mentored new hires in basic rendering tech. Learn JavaScript+WebGL to the point where you can render simple models with textures, shaders, and a basic camera controller. Then, if you enjoy it and want to go further, do the same but in your favorite language + Vulkan.

      It is serious this time? It was going to be early Summer 2022.

Inspiring. Thanks. I noticed you said WebGL. Is threeJS too high level?

I agree. You can start with https://threejs.org/ https://threejs.org/ to get things rolling.

  If someone wants to get into graphics API programming that’s probably a bit too high level, as lovely as it is.

    In 2022 starting with raw 3D APIs is like telling someone they need to learn Assembly from day 1.

Once I've got some neat stuff, how do I find someone to pay me money to work with these technologies?
