From geometric primitives to animation to 3D modeling to lighting, shading, and texturing, Computer Graphics Through OpenGL: From Theory to Experiments, Second Edition presents a comprehensive introduction to computer graphics that uses an active learning style to teach key concepts.
Equally emphasizing theory and practice, the book provides an und. The third edition is a mess. Get the second edition which is 5-star and one of the great classics of computer graphics. Read 9 reviews from the world's largest community for readers. Good text book for computer graphics. Dave is currently reading it I'm actually reading this in bits and pieces, and um, I'm reading the 2nd edition, not the 3rd.
Despite its widespread use, there is a lack of material that addresses the balance of both theory and practice in OpenGL ES. This book shows the reader how to translate the math into program code and shows the result. This new edition provides readers with the most current information in the field of computer graphics. I have to say, that Interactive Computer Graphics is a good course text book and more up to date. The one book that I think is perfect for a modern introductory computer graphics course is Foundations of 3D Computer Graphics by Steven J.

Updated throughout for the latest developments and technologies, this text combines the principles and major techniques in computer graphics with state-of-the-art examples that relate to things students see everyday on the Internet and in computer-generated movies. Practical, accessible, and integrated in approach, it carefully presents each concept, explains the underlying mathematics, shows how to translate the math into program code, and displays the result.
