🌟 Learn GLSL Shaders from Scratch 🎮 🚀

Course Headline: Bring your WebGL alive with custom shaders!

Course Overview:

Dive into the world of WebGL and custom shaders with GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) to create visually stunning effects right in your browser. Whether you're a designer, developer, or game developer, this course will equip you with the skills to add a touch of magic to your 3D objects and web projects.

What You Will Learn:

• GLSL Basics: We'll start from the ground up, assuming no prior knowledge of the language or its syntax based on C.
• GPU Utilization: Discover how GLSL leverages the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) to execute tasks with remarkable speed.
• Hands-On Practice: Code alongside real-world examples using THREE.js and CodePen, requiring only a web browser.
• GLSL in Various Programs: Learn how to apply your new skills in different programming environments, including C/C++/C# or Python.
• Shader Components: Understand the roles of vertex shaders and fragment shaders and how they interact with each other.
• Progressive Learning: Work through simple examples and gradually build up your knowledge to more complex shader applications.
• Shader Libraries: Gain access to dozens of example shaders to help you learn the language and its capabilities.

Course Structure:

1. Introduction to GLSL: A gentle dive into what GLSL is and why it's essential for creating advanced WebGL graphics.
2. Understanding Shaders: Learn the differences between vertex and fragment shaders, and how they transform raw data into stunning visuals.
3. Mathematics of Graphics: Break down the math behind shaders in a way that is accessible and intuitive, even for those who are not mathematically inclined.
4. GLSL Syntax and Semantics: Master the syntax and semantics of GLSL to write clear and efficient code.
5. Rendering Techniques: Explore various rendering techniques and how they can be used to create different effects and animations.
