-My admiration for computer graphics grew with my interests in programming and 3D animation. Finding out I can combine my love for programming and graphics changed me. Since July of 2024, I have been trying teaching myself graphics programming (it's difficult but I love it). Currently, I am teaching myself *OpenGL* and *GLSL*. Eventually, I hope to move onto something modern like *Vulkan* once I'm more experienced. I also hope to experiment more with *HLSL* in Unity and the *Godot Shader Language* in Godot. +My admiration for computer graphics grew with my interests in programming and 3D animation.
