DESCRIPTION
In the past, serious computer graphics programmers generally had to use "industrial strength" workstation hardware and software. Now, advanced graphics capabilities have become available in the PC arena. Whether you're a programmer, 3D enthusiast, C++ coder, games developer or animation specialist, POWER-3D will help you with fast, practical 3D implementations in the Windows environments.
What's inside:
- Coverage of three-dimensional mathematics with code examples in C++
- Full source code and documentation of many C++ objects for 3D graphics:
Intersection calculations
N-dimensional splines
Vertex object that encapsulates the world of 3D
Viewing volume clipping
Texturing
Lighting
Tessellating
Implicit surfaces
Constructive Boolean geometry
and much much more!
- COpenGLView object that lets you use OpenGL right now!
- A CD with a treasure trove of 3D graphics source code and program demos from all over the world.
