DESCRIPTION:
An Introduction to Computer Graphics does not replace the highly regarded Second Edition of Foley, et al., but simply offers professionals the option of a briefer, less expensive version.. While retaining the currency and accuracy of the larger work, coverage has been trimmed to the essential topics. This brief version uses C as the programming language for all worked examples. Explanations of key concepts have been expanded and further illustrated, assuming less background on the part of the reader. This adaptation of the definitive book in the field (Computer Graphics, Second Edition by Foley, et al.,) provides a more concise, less expensive introduction to computer graphics
A Customer said Very good book for a beginner Very good book for a beginner 3d coder! This new introductory text to computer graphics is an adaptation of Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice,Second Edition, which remains the most comprehensive and authoritative work in the field. While retaining the currency and accuracy of the larger book, this abbreviated version focuses on topics essential for all beginners in computer graphics and provides expanded explanations for readers with little or no technical background.

Are you tired of spending hours of your time searching for 3d documentation on the net? Are you tired of searching for books? Are you tired of spending $50 on a book only to find out that it doesn't cover any of the subjects you were hoping for? Introduction to Computer Graphics covers every aspect of 3d theory to get any beginner started. It is true that some of the math requires more than high school education, but that didn't stop me when I read it in 9th grade. And if I can understand it, pretty much anybody can. If a person reads this book straight through, he not only wil. The Bible which ALL 3D Programmers NEED This is the 3D programmers bible for 3D graphics. It is far from a breeze to read as the nature of the beast is not an easy subject.One of the most wonderful things about this book is that it supplies an extensive bibliography about each subject covered.It isn't a "how to" for DirectX or OpenGL it's more of a "here are the equations" for 3D in pretty much every aspect.You have to have it.You don't? Buy it!Expect to brush up on your maths tho! (unless yur a math head :) )Regards,Ian
