This series of videos will demonstrate my progress in making a Game Engine in OpenGL.



I've been spending a bit more time trying to figure out better atmospheric effects. I came across this very helpful article, developer.nvidia.com/gpugems/gpugems2/part-ii-shading-lighting-and-shadows/chapter-16-accurate-atmospheric-scattering, and a shadertoy that implements the article's code (shadertoy.com/view/lslXDr) which I've made a few adjustments to to get to the effects in this video.


This will probably look even better with HDR once I get to implementing that (at some point!).


As before, this engine does not use any libraries; I'm trying to learn everything by hand here (perhaps a slightly ridiculous endeavour).
