Everything you need to create your own 3D game engine Most game programming books hand you a finished game engine and then tell you how to add on a few features, so you're locked into someone else's design from the beginning. But why compromise? This book shows you how to build your own custom engine from scratch using AST3D, a powerful 3D graphics library that's included on the disk. Now you can build the game you want, and you'll never have to pay a licensing fee again. This book/disk set, written by professional game programmer Brian Hook, gives all the technical details, shortcuts, and tricks of the trade he had to learn the hard way. Find out how to: Design and develop games like the professionals Create real-time 3D graphics games Implement collision and boundary detection Create "intelligent" entities using AI algorithms Disk includes: AST3D, a C++ library specifically designed for 3D game programming Source code for Borland and Watcom C++ compilers An original 3D game engine you can use to create your own games

Intended as a textbook for students of computer science and management, this study strives to bring the concept of multimedia and computer graphics into a single volume. The book covers most of the scan conversion algorithms and other necessary ingredients for realistic rendering, such as techniques of image clipping, illumination and shading. It lays down the fundamental principles of computer graphics and provides the methodologies and algorithms, which act as building blocks of advanced animation and rendering techniques. The emphasis is clearly on explaining the techniques and the mathematical basis. The book also gives an introductory level description on graphics and audio and video hardware, which is sufficient for understanding some of the intricacies in these fields. Since graphics are best learnt with the help of computer implementation of the graphics algorithm, the pseudocodes and problems at the ends of chapters will encourage readers to implement some of the interesting applications of graphics.
