In this video, I will show you all of the graphical effects you can do in OpenGL, Vulkan, or DirectX that I know of. There are of course many more but this compilation will definitely have new things for you to learn 💪!

Why it's here
1 person recommends this
What people say. Recommended as a comprehensive checklist of graphics effects for developers looking to build their rendering portfolio.
On “Does GPA in college matter to landing a job in computer graphics?”
No.
Grades for the most part are ignored.
A portfolio demonstrates you not only understand the theory but can implement it.
Implement **one feature** mentioned in this video All OpenGL Effects, such as deferred rendering, and then another such as PBR.

On “Career Pivot: from digital animator to graphics programmer, where to start?”
1. Start by reading some of the frame analysis:
* Behind the pretty ring: Elden Ring
* Doom (2016) Graphics Study
2. Look at a list of graphics effects
3. Play around with ShaderToy such as my Ray Marching
4. Learn OpenGL, Vulkan, or D3D 11/12
5. Have fun!
