This book covers both the theory and practice of game engine software development, bringing together complete coverage of a wide range of topics. The concepts and techniques described are the actual ones used by real game studios like Electronic Arts and Naughty Dog. The examples are often grounded in specific technologies, but the discussion extends way beyond any particular engine or API. The references and citations make it a great jumping off point for those who wish to dig deeper into any particular aspect of the game development process. Intended as the text for a college level series in game programming, this book can also be used by amateur software engineers, hobbyists, self-taught game programmers, and existing members of the game industry. Junior game engineers can use it to solidify their understanding of game technology and engine architecture. Even senior engineers who specialize in one particular field of game development can benefit from the bigger picture presented in these pages.

《3D 游戏编程大师技巧》是游戏编程畅销书作者André LaMothe的扛鼎之作，从游戏编程和软件引擎的角度深入探讨了3D图形学的各个重要主题。全书共分5部分，包括16章的内容。第1～3章简要地介绍了Windows和DirectX编程，创建了一个Windows应用程序模板，让读者能够将精力放在游戏逻辑和图形实现中，而不用考虑Windows和DirectX方面的琐事；第4～5章简要地介绍了一些数学知识并实现了一个数学库，供以后编写演示程序时使用；第6章概述了3D图形学，让读者对《3D 游戏编程大师技巧(附光盘)》将介绍的内容有大致的了解；第7～11章分别介绍了光照、明暗处理、仿射纹理映射、3D裁剪和深度缓存等内容；第12～14章讨论了高级3D渲染技术，包括透视修正纹理映射、Alpha混合、1/z缓存、纹理滤波、空间划分和可见性算法、阴影、光照映射等；第15～16章讨论了动画、运动碰撞检测和优化技术。 《3D 游戏编程大师技巧》适合于有一定编程经验并想从事游戏编程工作或对3D图形学感兴趣的人员阅读。

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.
