Introduction To Tessellation // OpenGL Tutorial #47

In this video we use the Tessellation feature in OpenGL 4.0 in order to render a Cubic Bezier Curve.
This video is based on the "OpenGL 4 Shading Language Cookbook" 3rd edition by David Wolff (pages: 299-305).

I really love that you care to turn these topics into easily digestible video format. looking forward to next videos!

[@OGLDEV]

Thanks! Please send me your email to get a supporter perk (my email is in the vid desc).

[@ph4nt0m33]

Thanks I sent it :)

[@kgnet8831]

TOP Video 👏👍 (as was to expected^^). Please do more Tessalation (especially with tries / quads). In the meantime I will try to add this to my vulkan playground 🙂.

[@OGLDEV]

Thanks! Will do! They will probably be interleaved with other material as well.

[@kepcukhusamettin9400]

Thanks!

Welcome!

[@topg3067]

your videos are great. I would love a tutorial on lighting that looks good. Some kind of global illumination.

[@OGLDEV]

I hope to do a video on that sometime in the future. Please note that global illumination is kind of an umbrella term for a group of algorithms. I do have an article on my website about ambient occlusion.

@@OGLDEV I think its a good tutorial to make as there are not many resources on the internet for it. Especially compute shaders and tracing etc. Hope you will do it one day!
