Synopsis
In this book, a variety of algoritbms are described that may be of interest to everyone who writes software for 3D-graphics. It is a book that haB been written for programmers at an intermediate level as well aB for experienced software engineers who simply want to have some particular functions at their disposal, without having to think too much about details like special cases or optimization for speed. The programming language we use is C, and that has many advantages, because it makes the code both portable and efficient. Nevertheless, it should be possible to adapt the ideas to other high-level programming languages. The reader should have a reasonable knowledge of C, because sophisticated pro grams with economical storage household and fast sections cannot be written without the use of pointers. You will find that in the long run it is just aB easy to work with pointer variables as with multiple arrays . .Aß the title of the book implies, we will not deal with algorithms that are very computation-intensive such as ray tracing or the radiosity method. Furthermore, objects will always be (closed or not closed) polyhedra, which consist of a certain number of polygons.

Review
A tremendous book on the theoretical and mathematical foundations and practical aspects of C programming for writing fast 3D graphics code. Topics covered thoroughly by the book and its diskette include hidden surfaces, shadows, reflections, patterns, spline curves and surfaces, and real-time animation. Requires a good background in mathematics and C programming. Highly Recommended.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The aim of this book is to provide a mathematical background to techniques in computer graphics, to develop a graphics program in C implementing these techniques, and to illustrate the use of C stressing portability and speed. It hopes to supply the reader with a complete graphics program capable of rendering three-dimensional images comparatively quickly, including shadows and - to a limited degree - reflections. Scenes can be animated interactively or by using animation files, and series of scenes may be stored and played in real time. Readers are assumed to be moderately familiar with basic programming concepts, although all programming techniques are described thoroughly before their first applications. Whilst ray-tracing is not covered, the book does cover: hidden surfaces, shadows, reflections, patterns, and modelling curves and surfaces. As a result, many students and professionals will find this presentation gives them a thorough understanding of the most fundamental algorithms in graphics programming as well as providing them with a usable graphics package. The aim of this book is to provide a mathematical background for techniques in computer graphics, to develop a graphics programme in C implementing these techniques, and to illustrate the use of C stressing probability and speed. A basic familiarity with C is assumed (though all programming is explained). Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
