tailieunhanh - OpenGL Programming Guide, 8th Edition

Today's OpenGL software interface enables programmers to produce extraordinarily high-quality computer-generated images and interactive applications using 2D and 3D objects, color images, and programmable shaders. OpenGL Programming Guide: The Official Guide to Learning OpenGL, Version , Eighth Edition, has been almost completely rewritten and provides definitive, comprehensive information on OpenGL and the OpenGL Shading Language. This edition of the best-selling "Red Book" describes the features through OpenGL version | Dave Shreiner Graham Sellers John Kessenich Bill Licea-Kane Praise for OpenGƯ Programming Guide Eighth Edition Wow This book is basically one-stop shopping for OpenGL information. It is the kind of book that I will be reaching for a lot. Thanks to Dave Graham John and Bill for an amazing effort. Mike Bailey professor Oregon State University The most recent Red Book parallels the grand tradition of OpenGL continuous evolution towards ever-greater power and efficiency. The eighth edition contains up-to-the minute information about the latest standard and new features along with a solid grounding in modern OpenGL techniques that will work anywhere. The Red Book continues to be an essential reference for all new employees at my simulation company. What else can be said about this essential guide I laughed I cried it was much better than Cats I ll read it again and again. Bob Kuehne president Blue Newt Software OpenGL has undergone enormous changes since its inception twenty years ago. This new edition is your practical guide to using the OpenGL of today. Modern OpenGL is centered on the use of shaders and this edition of the Programming Guide jumps right in with shaders covered in depth in Chapter 2. It continues in later chapters with even more specifics on everything from texturing to compute shaders. No matter how well you know it or how long you ve been doing it if you are going to write an OpenGL program you want to have a copy of the OpenGL Programming Guide handy. ---Marc Olano associate professor UMBC If you are looking for the definitive guide to programming with the very latest version of OpenGL look no further. The authors of this book have been deeply involved in the creation of OpenGL and everything you need to know about the cutting edge of this industry-leading API is laid out here in a clear logical and insightful manner. ---Neil Trevett president Khronos Group This page intentionally left blank .
