Интерактивная компьютерная графика: Ввод. курс на базе OpenGL

This introductory text recognizes that beginners learn computer graphics more quickly by doing it. Taking a topdown approach, the book gets you started early in writing interesting 3D graphics programs. Each chapter is built around a nontrivial application program. In this programming context, key principles and techniques are explained as needed and in increasing detail. Coverage includes all the topics required for a fundamental understanding of computer graphics, such as light--material interactions, shading, modeling, curves and surfaces, anti-aliasing, texture mapping, and compositing, as well as important hardware issues. Graphics systems and models. Graphics programming. Input and interaction. Geometric objects and transformations. Viewing, shading. Implementation of a renderer. Hierarchical and object-oriented graphics ..
