In this tutorial series, Hans takes you from zero through to rendering 3D texture-mapped objects with lighting. By the time you're done you'll have the fundamentals of 3D graphics using Warp3D Nova, and will be ready for bigger things. What You'll Learn Here's an overview of what's inside: - Tutorial 1: Create a window - Tutorial 2: Hello triangle - draw something - Tutorial 3: A splash of algorithmic colour - procedural texture mapping - Tutorial 4: Colour another way - per-vertex colour - Tutorial 5: 3D at last - draw a cube - Tutorial 6: 3D lighting - add lighting to the scene - Tutorial 7: Animation - making objects move - Tutorial 8: Adding texture - texture-mapping - Tutorial 9: Normal mapping - extra realism with surface bumps and features - Warp3D Nova gotchas - easy mistakes and how to avoid them - GLSL shader debugging - tools and tips - Where to go from here - next steps in your graphics programming journey What is Warp3D Nova? Warp3D Nova is a modern shader-based 3D graphics API for AmigaOS 4.1+. To follow these tutorials, you will need an AmigaOS machine with suitable hardware (e.g., an AmigaOne X5000 with a Radeon RX 560 graphics card). ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1R8ZSI-l34

So, you're convinced that you need a realistic deadline/target-date to keep your software or engineering project on track. But, how do you come up with that realistic deadline? The truth is that you'll never know for sure exactly how long a project will take, but there are ways to make a decent estimate. In this video Hans outlines the method he usually uses, along with common pitfalls.

In this video Hans talks about the problems he encountered with the event loop in his FTP server that wouldn't exist if C++ had a Garbage Collector (GC). He's always liked the lack of GC, until recently...
