Scott Steffes explains how the GPU converts 3D triangles and textures into 2D pixels on the screen without writing code.

I go over the background knowledge you should really understand before checking out other shader tutorials. This information is relevant to most 3D rendering applications like Blender, Unity, Unreal, etc... Even if you're just curious about how 3D graphics work in general, this video should be of interest to you.

For anyone who's curious about graphics and shader programming, this goes over how the GPU turns triangles and textures into pixels on the screen. It clarifies what the system does for you and at what point it calls the shader code you write. It should be useful no matter what language you're using
