Introduction

A graphics programmer is far more than just writing a few lines of Shader code or connecting different lines in ShaderGraph. In my opinion, it typically requires a deep understanding of Computer Graphics Theory and Mathematics. Additionally, one needs to master various graphics APIs such as DirectX, OpenGL, Vulkan, and so on. As a Game-Developer, I focus mainly on real-time graphics technology related to game development.

In game development, a skilled graphics programmer can make a game look stunning and have highly efficient rendering performance. This is the true skill of a graphics programmer.

Becoming a graphics programmer requires an enormous amount of learning. If you have the following foundational knowledge, it can make your learning process smoother and easier.
