Wow! You sumed up the whole Apple's and MSDN's documentation combined in that intro.

"If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe." I've got this in my UKposts feed somehow. While I'm not necessarily agree with the motivation, I think it's going to be a great journey.

I am not sure about using such a high number of triangles for each glyph, especially when rendering hundreds of them to the screen in a text editor with different positions etc... But it surely is an interesting approach.

AWESOME! This video is AWESOME! You are suck a great teacher. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the vid. Ill add you in my prayers.

Wow nice work!

Great video, I really learned a lot.

Was there any reason that you didn't want to use a multichannel signed distanc field? Using bilinear filtering and an MSDF shader gives you perfect scaling.

great video! btw, bezier is pronounced "bez-zee-ay", but native english speakers will still understand what you mean by "biz-zee-er". the word comes from french, which is why its pronounced like that.

What algorithm do you use to convert the points (shapes) into triangles? Do you use a lib? Or do you do it yourself?

Hi, i was wondering how you generated the triangles from the points extracted from the ttf glyphs? Does the algorithm that you used have a name?

If you really desire pure performance, you should not render the Text frame by frame with open gl like that. Better use your procedure and store the renderered Glyphs into a Texture, or a TextureArray. Then address the right glyph via an index in the shader. And also keep culling in mind even when printing simple text - Opening large files could be painfull otherwise. But great approach!

Fantastic, are you South African?

It a excellent video. But the lack of information and many things like what libraries and algorithms etc etc makes so difficult to achieve for beginners. You can remake and do more smoothly with more details about regarding tools.... Thanks

Wait, why are your rendering the character with a bunch of triangles. I thought the normal (and probably way faster) way to do this is to convert the character into a texture and then draw a quad, with the character as texture. I think the only downside to this is, that when you resize your characters, at some point you probably have to recalculate your textures, because the resolution is to low/high, for its size. But that way you would only need 2 Triangles for every character and I think it will be much faster to render text. That said, I'm not an expert, I've never done something like this, so maybe all I'm saying is wrong.

Sup man i am your teamate from valorant (neon)
