McReynolds Advanced Graphics Programming Techniques Using OpenGL

Tom McReynolds , and David Blythe - Advanced Graphics Programming Techniques Using OpenGL.
Date April 26, 1998,
196 p.,
Lang english.This advanced course demonstrates sophisticated and novel computer graphics programming.
techniques, implemented in C using the widely available OpenGL library.
By explaining the concepts and demonstrating the techniques required to generate images of.
greater realism and utility, the course helps students achieve two goals: they gain a deeper insight into OpenGL functionality and computer graphics concepts, while expanding their “toolbox” of useful OpenGL techniques.OpenGLVersion.
