Description
Now that PC users have entered the realm of programmable hardware, graphics programmers can create 3D images and animations comparable
to those produced by RenderMan's procedural programs?-but in real time. Here is a book that will bring this cutting-edge technology to
your computer.
Beginning with the mathematical basics of vertex and pixel shaders, and building to detailed accounts of programmable
shader operations, Real-Time Shader Programming provides the foundation and techniques necessary for replicating popular cinema-style
3D graphics as well as creating your own real-time procedural shaders.
A compelling writing style, color illustrations throughout, and
scores of online resources make Real-Time Shader Programming an indispensable tutorial/reference for the game developer, graphics programmer,
game artist, or visualization programmer, to create countless real-time 3D effects.
Audience
Professional game developers, programmers, and real-time graphics programmers. Students in computer animation and computer graphics studying
game programming, real-time graphics, rendering, modeling, simulation, and virtual worlds and interactive environments on the web.
