Computer graphics & rendering Videos Recommended on Hacker News (114)

Computer graphics & rendering is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 114 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2009 and 2026 — 303 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.

Computer graphics: ray tracing, path tracing, shaders, GPU rendering, real-time graphics, SIGGRAPH, procedural generation, simulation, volumetric displays, physics-based rendering.

Why HN keeps sending people here — on The Beauty of Bézier Curves: “it's genuinely one of the best math/graphics/explainer videos ever made” — an HN commenter, 2025.
