本书是一本内容丰富、取材新颖的计算机图形学著作，并在其前一版的基础上进行了全面扩充，增加了许多新的内容，覆盖了近年来计算机图形学的最新发展与成就。全书层次分明、重点突出，并附有使用OpenGL编写的大量程序以及各种效果图，是一本难得的优秀教材。 本书共分为15章，全面系统地讲解了计算机图形学的基本概念和相关技术。作者首先对计算机图形学进行综述；然后讲解二维图形的对象表示、算法和应用，以及三维图形的相关技术、建模和变换；接着介绍光照模型、颜色模型和动画技术。本书还新增了有关层次建模和图形文件格式的介绍，最后的附录给出了计算机图形学中用到的基本数学概念。 本书可作为信息技术等相关专业本科生和研究生和研究生的教材的教材或参考书，也可以作为计算机图形学工作者的参考书。

Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent or programmable shaders, a wide variety of new algorithms have arisen and evolved over the past few years. This edition discusses current, practical rendering methods used in games and other applications. It also presents a solid theoretical framework and relevant mathematics for the field of interactive computer graphics, all in an approachable style.

Michael Abrash's classic Graphics Programming Black Book is a compilation of Michael's previous writings on assembly language and graphics programming (including from his "Graphics Programming" column in Dr. Dobb's Journal). Much of the focus of this book is on profiling and code testing, as well as performance optimization. It also explores much of the technology behind the Doom and Quake 3-D games, and 3-D graphics problems such as texture mapping, hidden surface removal, and the like.
