Interactive Computer Graphics, 8th Edition

A top-down, programming-oriented approach to introductory computer graphic.\n\nComputer animation and graphics are now prevalent in everyday life from the computer screen, to the movie screen, to the smartphone screen. The growing excitement about Web GL applications and their ability to integrate HTML5, inspired the authors to exclusively use Web GL in creating Interactive Computer Graphics�the only introduction to computer graphics text for undergraduates that fully integrates Web GL and emphasizes application-based programming. The top-down, programming-oriented approach allows for coverage of engaging 3D material early in the course so students immediately begin to create their own 3D graphics, while the application programming interface (API) makes it easier to teach key graphics topics, including three-dimensional transformations, lighting and shading, client�server graphics, modeling, and implementation algorithms. The new edition uses Web GL and Java Script for all the examples. With the 8th Edition, and for the first time, Interactive Computer Graphics moves into the world of interactive electronic textbooks, enabling students to experiment and view code and examples while reading. The convenient, simple-to-use mobile reading experience extends learning beyond class time. For courses in computer science and engineering.
