How to optimize (almost) anything
How to optimize (almost) anything YouTube video by SimonDev

Great video covering the fundamental concepts and techniques for optimizing graphics in 3D games. You don't need to be an expert, but it's valuable to understand and develop an intuition for these basics -> youtu.be/phbaxNPJxss

Agreed! Although, it's the constraints that make every project, creator, and process uniquely interesting. I love hearing about these unique experiences - like someone starting from scratch just two days before a competition closes and still making the top 10!
