3D Computer Graphics with CDROM

by Alan Watt

3D Computer Graphics with CDROM Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The Third Edition of this well-known and popular book has been updated and expanded. It continues to focus on the 3D aspects of computer graphics and reflects the growing demand for real-time applications such as games and virtual reality for high complexity. It also addresses the majority of standard approaches and techniques. The author deals with the processes involved in converting a mathematical or geometric description of an object — a computer graphics model — into a visualization - a two dimensional projection — that stimulates the appearance of a real object. This book is ideal for readers who require sufficient knowledge to pursue a career or research in graphics programming. Practitioners will use it as a reference and resource book covering state-of-the-art techniques.

Synopsis:

The third edition of this book continues to focus on the 3D aspects of computer graphics and reflects the demand for real-time applications, such as games and virtual reality. New features include chapters on advanced radiosity and pre-calculation techniques.
