In this tutorial, I explain the graphics pipeline, and the process of converting a list of 3D points in game world coordinates (a mesh), into a picture to display on the end-user's device. I also give a thorough explanation of how Vertex shaders and Fragment shaders work, from how they accept input, to how they are compiled and linked together. I also explain how to use VBO's, VAO's, and EBO's to pass the vertex data from the CPU to the GPU. This is all explained in light of OpenGL programming for LWJGL.
