This updated third edition addresses the mathematical skills that a programmer needs to develop a 3D game engine and computer graphics for professional-level games. "Mathematics For 3D Game Programming And Computer Graphics, Third Edition" is suitable for advanced programmers who are experienced with C++, DirectX, or OpenGL. The book begins at a fairly basic level, covering areas such as vector geometry and linear algebra, and then progresses to more advanced topics in 3D game programming such as illumination and visibility determination. It discusses the math first; then it presents how to translate the math into programs. By providing the math behind the effect, screenshots of the results, and samples of code that translate the math so that the effect is achieved, readers get the full story rather than only a mathematical explanation or a set of code samples that are not clearly drawn from mathematical expressions. With this revised edition, almost every chapter will provide a programming example taken directly from a real-world game programming context, and based on programs that have been written and used in game engine development.

How can we capture the unpredictable evolutionary and emergent properties of nature in software? How can understanding the mathematical principles behind our physical world help us to create digital worlds? This book focuses on a range of programming strategies and techniques behind computer simulations of natural systems, from elementary concepts in mathematics and physics to more advanced algorithms that enable sophisticated visual results. Readers will progress from building a basic physics engine to creating intelligent moving objects and complex systems, setting the foundation for further experiments in generative design. Subjects covered include forces, trigonometry, fractals, cellular automata, self-organization, and genetic algorithms. The book's examples are written in Processing, an open-source language and development environment built on top of the Java programming language. On the book's website (http://www.natureofcode.com), the examples run in the browser via Processing's JavaScript mode.

Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent or programmable shaders, a wide variety of new algorithms have arisen and evolved over the past few years.
This edition discusses current, practical rendering methods used in games and other applications. It also presents a solid theoretical framework and relevant mathematics for the field of interactive computer graphics, all in an approachable style.

《全局光照技术：从离线到实时渲染》是一本聚焦于渲染领域的计算机图形学图书，它同时包含了离线和实时渲染的内容，探讨了渲染中最常用的约十种全局光照技术的概念，原理以及相互之间的联系，并以这些全局光照技术为线索介绍了大量计算机图形学相关的基础知识，全书约1000页左右的篇幅，是国内该领域较少的专著之一。

《GPU精粹3》是GPU精粹系列畅销书的第三卷，展示了当今最前沿的图形处理单元(GPU)编程技术。现代GPU的可编程性让开发者不仅可以在自己的岗位上迅速脱颖而出，更使得他们可以在非图形应用程序中运用GPU的卓越处理能力，例如，物理仿真、金融分析，甚至是病毒检测——尤其是在cuDA体系结构下。图形学仍然是GPU主要应用领域，通过学习本书，读者会惊喜地发现一些最新的算法，使用它们可以创建非常真实的角色，实现更逼真的光照效果，以及完成绘制后的混合效果。

A major revision of the international bestseller on game programming! Graphics hardware has evolved enormously in the last decade. Hardware can now be directly controlled through techniques such as shader programming, which requires an entirely new thought process of a programmer. 3D Game Engine Design, Second Edition shows step-by-step how to make a shader-based graphics engine and how to tame the new technology. Much new material has been added, including more than twice the coverage of the essential techniques of scene graph management, as well as new methods for managing memory usage in the new generation of game consoles and portable game players. There are expanded discussions of collision detection, collision avoidance, and physics - all challenging subjects for developers.

本书讲述的是计算机工作原理。作者用丰富的想象和清晰的笔墨将看似繁杂的理论阐述得通俗易懂，你丝毫不会感到枯燥和生硬。更重要的是，你会因此而获得对计算机工作原理较深刻的理解。这种理解不是抽象层面上的，而是具有一定深度的。

《计算机程序的构造和解释》成型于美国麻省理工学院（MIT）多年使用的一本教材，1984年出版，1996年修订为第二版。在过去的二十多年里，该书对于计算机科学的教育计划产生了深刻的影响。
在第二版中，大部分重要程序设计系统都重新修改并做过测试，包括各种解释器和编译器。作者根据其后十余年的教学实践，还对其他许多细节做了相应的修改。

Michael Abrash's classic Graphics Programming Black Book is a compilation of Michael's previous writings on assembly language and graphics programming (including from his "Graphics Programming" column in Dr. Dobb's Journal). Much of the focus of this book is on profiling and code testing, as well as performance optimization. It also explores much of the technology behind the Doom and Quake 3-D games, and 3-D graphics problems such as texture mapping, hidden surface removal, and the like.
