Book Description:

The last several years have seen some exciting advances in the field of real-time graphics. Starting slowly for beginning programmers, this book begins by reviewing recent 3D graphics developments and with an introduction to vectors, matrices, colors, and lighting. Then, it's on to rendering graphics! Learn various vertex and pixel shader techniques, discover how to use video as a texture, and get the scoop on several techniques for picking objects in a scene. Whatever your level of programming expertise, let this book serve as your guide to mastering the possibilities of real-time programming.

Benefits:

• Offers explanations of advanced features of DirectX

• Focuses on implementation

• One of the only books on the market covering high-end concepts and techniques in DirectX

• The CD includes the DirectX SDK, a shareware version of Rhino3D, samples of 3D models and textures, and the source code, media, and textures found in the book

• A demo version of Caligari TrueSpace 5

• ATI Technology papers and presentations

• Source code from the book
