About
Features
• Text-specific Web site:
– Easy for student to use and obtain source code from book. – Offers convenient access to many images, references and sample programs to support the discussion in the book.
– Vastly expanded to include all color images, source programs for all complete programs given in the text, and resources closely related to the book’s material.
• C++ as the underlying programming language –Introduces useful classes for graphics, but does not force a rigid object-oriented posture.
• Early, in-depth treatment of 3D graphics and the underlying mathematics – Enables students to produce realistic 3D graphics much earlier in a course. Students can write programs to “fly” a camera through a 3D scene.
• Extensive case studies at the end of each chapter.
• Clear flow of ideas from first principles to the techniques of graphics:
– Develops the underlying mathematics from first principles.
– Shows students where the math comes from, why it is used, and how it is applied, allowing them to grasp it much more quickly and apply it to their graphics work.
* Clear presentation of the links between a concept, underlying mathematics, program coding, and the result – e.g., the use of vectors in graphics, the underlying theory of transformations, the mathematics of perspective projections, etc.
• An abundance of state-of-the-art worked examples.
• Numerous practice exercises (approx. 30 per chapter).
