Some of you may already know about this, but I walked into my local bookstore today and found…
“Tricks of the 3D game programming Gurus - Advanced 3D graphics & rasterization” by Andre Lamothe.
…this book is basically Volume II to his first which had the subtitle “Fundamentals of 2D & 3D game programming”.
To use the books you must know C or C++. For me they are the final word in learning games programming.
I hope this will be of use to my fellow CGTalkers…
Dont forget to mention that this is an advanced book. Knowledge of OpenLG / DirectX and Windows programming is assumed.
So it maybe a little out of reach for someone who isnt familar with those topics.
Re: Kid Mesh.
Well, actually its API independant. Andre had multi-platforms in mind.
He pretty much says “if the API has a dot-to-screen function, and recieve input, then you’re able to use this knowledge to make a SOFTWARE 3d engine…”.
I was pretty pissed when I found out the book didn’t cover Direct3D or OpenGL.
But I would recommend a bit of C or C++ programming before taking on this titanic book.:rolleyes:
