| The most advanced coverage of 3D game programming that teaches real 3D engine building to the intermediate to advanced game programmer. Today is the greatest time in history to be in the game business. We now have the technology to create games that look real! Sonys Playstation II, XBOX, and Game Cube are cool! But, all this technology isnt easy or trivial to understand - it takes really hard work and lots of Red Bull. The difficulty level of game programming has definitely been cranked up these days in relation to the skill set needed to make games. Andre LaMothes follow-up book to Tricks of the Windows Game Programming Gurus is the one to read for the latest in 3D game programming. When readers are finished with this book, they will be able to create a full 3D, texture-mapped, lit video game for the PC with a software rasterizer they can write themselves. Moreover, they will understand the underlying principles of 3D graphics and be able to better understand and utilize 3D hardware today and in the future. |
