This book is a comprehensive treatment of modern 3D games technology. It concentrates on: • real-time rendering, or the necessary enhancements of 3D graphics to enable rendering at interactive rates; • topics from areas such as Al, physics and collision detection, that are used in games; • the software technology of games - engine architecture and multi-player technology. The text is written around the engine Fly3D (included with a full SDK on the CD) that implements most of the described techniques. Readers can try out their own ideas by writing source code and experiment with existing demonstrations by writing plug-ins and altering existing ones. You can even develop your own game.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. This is the first academic games programming book/CD package that is expressly written for new degree courses in 3D-games programming. Authors introduce the theory behind the design of computer games and detail advanced techniques used in the industry. Students will be able to develop their own games within the game 'skeletons' accompanying the book, and will learn how to program complex games. This book could also be used for a more standard undergraduate 3D graphics programming course, with the games context being highly motivational. This book is a comprehensive treatment of current 3D games technology, including: * Theoretical foundations * Classical 3D graphics * Real-time rendering technology * Dynamics * Collision detection * Artificial Intelligence * Image-based rendering * Multi-player technology * Software technology * Engine architecture The text is written around an actual engine that implements most of the described techniques and accompanies the book on a CD-ROM. Readers can try out their own ideas by writing source code and can experiment with existing demonstrations by writing or altering plug-ins. The supplied engine features are: * BSP/PVS render management * Light maps for static geometry * Diffuse and specular (hardware) vertex lighting for dynamic objects * Volumetric fog with fog maps * Detail textures * Multi-texture support * Collision detection * Dynamic lights * Dynamic Shadows * Physically based animations * Animated meshed * Tri-strips and fans * Subdivision surfaces * 3D sound support * Complete plug-in directed. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR003943169
