Computer Graphics: Implementation and Explanation - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Modern graphics ‘shader architecture’ provides unprecedented access to graphical functions and processing power. With this full-color book, programmers can harness its capabilities.

Written by a professor for his students, skills are developed with carefully designed exercises.

Part historical, part theoretical, and totally practical, this book develops all the software needed for an application that includes:

faceted shading, smooth shading,
texture-mapping, bump-mapping, displacement-mapping,
model and image file access,
meshes, curves, patches,
quaternion arcball,
model articulation,
anti-aliasing, and text.

Not a comprehensive review, but a direct path to powerful applications.
