Any benefits of learning 3D rasterization and software theory before jumping into OpenGL / Direct3D?

Question

I came across a very interesting book. I made some games with two games, but 3D is a completely new stadium for me. I just need to know if there are any benefits to learning about rasterization and 3D software theory before moving to OpenGL / Direct3D? Any reason why any of them are suitable? Thanks in advance!

Answer 5

I found out about this (wrote a software rasterizer), and I am very pleased that it is much more useful if I say that to open open gl tahan, for example, to build assembly code in c, it is extremely useful to get an idea of ​​things and sensations that anything is possible
