Free Online Book: Learning Modern 3D Graphics Programming

Free online book “Learning Modern 3D Graphics Programming”, written by Jason L. McKesson, is intended to teach you how to be a graphics programmer. It is not aimed at any particular graphics field; it is designed to cover most of the basics of 3D rendering. So if you want to be a game developer, a CAD program designer, do some computer visualization, or any number of things, this book can still be an asset for you.

Book Description

What this book offers is beginner-level instruction on what many consider to be an advanced concept. It teaches programmable rendering for beginning graphics programmers, from the ground up.

This book also covers some important material that is often neglected or otherwise relegated to “advanced” concepts. These concepts are not truly advanced, but they are often ignored by most introductory material because they do not work with the fixed function pipeline.

This book is first and foremost about learning how to be a graphics programmer. Therefore, whenever it is possible and practical, this book will present material in a way that encourages the reader to examine what graphics hardware can do in new and interesting ways. A good graphics programmer sees the graphics hardware as a set of tools to fulfill their needs, and this book tries to encourage this kind of thinking.
