KEY MESSAGE: OpenGL(R): A Primer is a concise presentation of fundamental OpenGL, providing readers with a succinct introduction to essential OpenGL commands as well as detailed listings of OpenGL functions and parameters. Angel uses a top-down philosophy to teach computer graphics based on the idea that readers learn modern computer graphics best if they can start programming significant applications as soon as possible. Introduction, Two-Dimensional Programming in OpenGL, Interaction and Animation, Basic Three-Dimensional Programming, Transformations, Lights and Materials, Images, Texture Mapping, Curves and Surfaces, Putting It Together, Looking to the Future. For all readers…
