Abstract

Computer animation and graphics–once rare, complicated, and comparatively expensive–are now prevalent in everyday life from the computer screen to the movie screen.

Interactive Computer Graphics: A Top-Down Approach with Shader-Based OpenGL, 6e, is the only introduction to computer graphics text for undergraduates that fully integrates OpenGL 3.1 and emphasizes application-based programming.

Using C and C++, the top-down, programming-oriented approach allows for coverage of engaging 3D material early in the text so readers immediately begin to create their own 3D graphics. Low-level algorithms (for topics such as line drawing and filling polygons) are presented after readers learn to create graphics.

All references in this paragraph refers to the book:

+ Chapter 1 - (All) Pinhole camera, human visual system, graphics pipeline

+ Chapter 2 - (All) This chapter gives a quick introduction to OpenGL and simple GLSL. Most content is repeated in other chapters, but this chapter ties it together nicely.

+ Chapter 3 - (All except 3.13-3.14) Definitions: Scalars, points, vectors, dot & cross product, frames.
Transformation: Translation, rotation & scaling.
Concatenation of transforms.
Coordinate frames, homogeneous coordinates.

+ Chapter 4 - (4.3-4.9)
Derivation of camera transform from VRP, VPN and VUP (the LookAt function). Perspective projection including matrix representation. The z-buffer and backface culling (4.8).

+ Chapter 5 - (All except 5.6 and 5.11)
Light sources. Diffuse and Specular shading.
The Phong shading model. GLSL

+ Chapter 6: (6.11) : Hidden surface removal, z-buffer

+ Chapter 7:
7.2, 7.4-7.6. Texture Mapping.
7.8-7.10 Environment Mapping, Reflection Map & Bump Mapping

+ Chapter 8:
8.1-8.2: Hierarchical Models
8.3-8.4: A robot arm
8.8: Scene Graphs

+ Chapter 9: (9.9 Procedural Noise)

+ Chapter 10:
10.1: Implicit and explicit representations
10.5: Hermite Curves
