Training programme

We all love the flashy side of rendering: from cutting-edge tech presented at GDC to the frontier of science presented in SIGGRAPH Tech Papers. However, we often overlook the nitty-and-gritty part of rendering: understanding the basics, like mipmapping, projection transformation, or the depth test. This Master Class from Peter, ex Rockstar and CD Projekt, will focus on the latest.

Objectives of the training

Revisit the core rendering concepts in-depth
Explore how understanding them could help you with real-life tasks.
