Product Description
Master WebGL, and create interactive web browser-based 3D graphics with no plugins - even if you have no computer graphics experience!
- Learn breakthrough 3D programming techniques for tomorrow's web games, user interfaces, and information visualization applications
- Seamlessly integrate rich 3D into Web pages, and interact with your applications through 3D UI elements
- 100+ recipes demonstrate and explain basic to advanced tasks: complete code library jumpstarts your own projects
- Part of AW's official OpenGL series: co-written by a member of Khronos's official WebGL team.
WebGL brings plugin-free 3D to the web, enabling you to create sophisticated interactive 3D graphics right inside web browsers - perfect for games, user interfaces, and information visualization. The WebGL Programming Guide will help you get started quickly with interactive WebGL 3D programming, even if you have no prior knowledge of HTML5, JavaScript, 3D computer graphics, mathematics, or OpenGL.
You'll learn step-by-step, through realistic examples, building your skills as you move from simple to complex solutions for building visually appealing web pages and 3D applications with WebGL. WebGL and 3D pioneers Dr. Kouichi and Dr. Rodger Lea offer easy-to-understand tutorials on every technology you'll need, plus 100 sample programs, each demonstrating a specific WebGL topic.
You'll move from basic techniques such as rendering, animating, and texturing triangles, all the way to advanced techniques such as lighting, interacting with 3D objects, fogging, shadowing and working with 3D models generated by 3D authoring tools. This book won't just teach you WebGL programming best practices: it will give you a library of code you can use to jumpstart your own WebGL projects.
