• Vulkan Tutorial (Alexander Overvoorde)

  This tutorial will teach you the basics of using the Vulkan graphics and compute API. Vulkan is a new API by the Khronos group (known for OpenGL) that provides a much better abstraction of modern graphics cards.

• Computer Graphics from Scratch: A Programmer's Introduction

  This book demystifies the algorithms used in modern graphics software with basic programming and high school math, and focuses on only one aspect of computer graphics: 3D Rendering. Pseudocode examples link to live JavaScript demos.

• Developing Graphics Frameworks with Python and OpenGL

  It shows you how to create software for rendering complete three-dimensional scenes, explains the foundational theoretical concepts as well as the practical programming techniques that will enable you to create your own animated and interactive worlds.

• Python and OpenGL for Scientific Visualization (Nicolas P. Rougier)

  The goal of this book is to reconcile Python programmers with OpenGL, providing both an introduction to modern OpenGL and a set of basic and advanced techniques in order to achieve both fast, scalable & beautiful scientific visualizations.

• Learn OpenGL: Graphics Programming in a Step-by-Step Fashion

  This book will teach you the basics, the intermediate, and tons of advanced knowledge, using modern (core-profile) OpenGL. The aim of this book is to show you all there is to modern OpenGL in an easy-to-understand fashion, with clear examples, etc.

• Introduction to Modern OpenGL (Alexander Overvoorde)

  This book will teach you the basics of using OpenGL to develop modern graphics applications. It contains a lot of interactive examples to make it both fun and easy to learn all the different aspects of using a low-level graphics library like OpenGL!

• OpenGL Programming (WikiBooks)

  This book presents definitive, comprehensive information on OpenGL 4.X, SPIR-V, OpenGL extensions, and the OpenGL Shading Language. It will serve you for as long as you write or maintain OpenGL code.

• Introduction to Computer Graphics (David J. Eck)

  Covering the fundamentals of computer graphics and computer graphics programming. It explains the principles, as well as the mathematics, underlying computer graphics - knowledge that is essential for successful work both now and in the future.

• 3D Game Shaders For Beginners (David Lettier)

  Interested in adding textures, lighting, shadows, normal maps, glowing objects, ambient occlusion, reflections, refractions, and more to your 3D game? Great! Below is a collection of shading techniques that will take your game visuals to new heights.

• Learn Computer Graphics From Scratch! (Scratchapixel)

  This book is designed to include the basic information needed in an introductory course. It also includes example tutorials for the use of graphics editing programs Microsoft Paint, GIMP and Blender, etc.

• Ray Tracing Gems II: Real-Time Rendering with DXR, Vulkan, OptiX

  This book is a must-have for anyone interested in real-time rendering. Ray Tracing is the holy grail of gaming graphics, simulating the physical behavior of light to bring real-time, cinematic-quality rendering to even the most visually intense games.

• Ray Tracing Gems: High-Quality & Real-Time Rendering with DXR

  This book is a must-have for anyone serious about rendering in real time. With the announcement of new Ray Tracing APIs and hardware to support them, developers can easily create real-time applications with ray tracing as a core component.

• An Introduction to Ray Tracing (Andrew S. Glassner, et al.)

  This book develops from fundamental principles to advanced applications, providing "how-to" procedures as well as a detailed understanding of the scientific foundations of Ray Tracing. It is also richly illustrated with four-color and black-and-white plates.

• Ray Tracing in One Weekend (Peter Shirley)

  This informal book takes you through most of the author's university course on Ray Tracing. Each mini-chapter adds one feature to the ray tracer, and by the end the reader can produce the image on the book cover.

• Blender Basics: A Classroom Tutorial Book (J. Chronister)

  This book is a definitive resource for getting started with 3D art in Blender, one of the most popular 3D/Animation tools on the market. It covers the philosophy behind this ingenious software that so many 3D artists are turning to today.
