3D Games

This is the first academic games programming book/CD package that is expressly written for new degree courses in 3D-games programming. Authors Watt and Policarpo introduce the theory behind the design of computer games and detail advanced techniques used in the industry, such as: physically based animation; advanced scene management; pre-calculation techniques/image-based rendering; advanced motion capture; and artificial intelligence. Students will be able to develop their own games within the games "skeletons" accompanying the book, and will learn how to program complex games. This book could also be used for a more standard undergrad 3D graphics programming course, with the games context being highly motivational.

From the Back Cover
With this book, authors Watt and Policarpo introduce the theory behind the design of computer games and detail advanced techniques used in the industry, such as: physically based animation; advanced scene management; pre-calculation techniques/image-based rendering; advanced motion capture; and artificial intelligence. Readers will be able to develop their own games within the games "skeletons" accompanying the book, and will learn how to program complex games. The book is divided into six parts: Foundations (which covers the foundations of 3D computer graphics), Classical 3D Graphics, Real-Time Rendering, Control of Objects, 2D Technology, and Software Technology. An appendix on Fly3D SDK Tutorials is also included, and the ... [강컴닷컴 제공]
