From the Author
I’m very grateful for the opportunity to say a few words about my book to Amazon.com customers. My goal when I started the book was to provide an easily digestible tutorial for learning how to do 3D graphics, using OpenGL. I first learned how to do 3D graphics programming by learning OpenGL. My strongest desire was to enable others to repeat this delightful experience, and perhaps make it even smoother for them than it was for me.
OpenGL is the perfect API for learning 3D graphics programming. It is clean and well documented. The functions all follow a consistent naming convention, and it takes an astonishingly small amount of code to simply describe a 3D object, shine a light on it, and move it around! Best of all, OpenGL does all the hard work for you – you don’t need to understand matrix math, linear algebra, or complex physics to start doing cool things right away with OpenGL. Knowing how to do these things, will certainly make you a more capable 3D programmer, but the point is that OpenGL will meet you where you are. Are you a beginner? OpenGL will hold your hand and lead the way. Are you an expert? OpenGL will set you free to create your masterpiece in code.
Since the book came out, I’ve had the privilege to contribute to the subsequent version of the OpenGL Specification (1.2). I’m looking forward to an exciting future ahead as OpenGL continues to grow in popularity on Windows and other hardware platforms and operating systems!
