Customer Reviews

The examples work!

This book has useable examples and provides understandableand concise explanations of the complex subject of 3D computer graphics.Yes this book won't choke a horse, but just because it isconcise does not mean that it isn't a good 3D computer graphicsbook. The choice of plainly written C makes the examples easyto translate into other languages such as Java or Perl.

The first edition was very concise and helpful

The Booknews review is very uninformed. One can not do computer graphics without matrix algebra. If you just want to draw things on your screen this is not the book for you. If, however you need to learn about a specific aspect of fundamental graphics programming this is a book to consider.
