Cutting-Edge Direct3D Programming: Everything You Need to Create Stunning 3D Applications with Direct3D

Buy
Explains Direct3D in clear, understandable language. Appeals to software developers interested in writing any type of 3D application for Windows 95, from hobbyist to professional. Emphasizes development of many types of software, not just games. Includes plenty of demos enabling readers of varying skill levels to create source code ideal for their needs. Includes a body of code that is fast, debugged and royalty-free so readers can program with Direct3D without having to learn the entire API. Addresses topics such as 3D coordinates, rendering, texture mapping, animation, hit-detection, lighting, and morphing.

The origin of the human race and the details of our early history are the subject of much debate. Early human history is only loosely recorded, but we can make some educated guesses about how we spent our time. For example, it is safe to say that we spent a good deal of time designing and using tools.

When we think of tools today, we think of wrenches and hammers, or, for us programmers, software tools. But the first tool was probably a sharpened rock or bone that served as a knife. From this humble beginning, we eventually designed spears, skewers, shields, and sheaths. We designed vessels for the transport and storage of food and water and slings to carry infants. We invented sewing to hold skins together. Later we invented the wheel. The bronze age saw the introduction of metal pans, swords and shields. The industrial revolution changed the worlds of finance, labor and consumerism forever with the introduction of complex machines that could perform routine tasks consistently and reliably. The last one hundred years has brought cars, washing machines and can openers to millions of homes around the world.

The point is that is that we have inherited a rich and powerful legacy: a legacy of shapes, levers, pulleys, cams, and gears, and this technical portion of our heritage is fundamentally three-dimensional.

Firewall Policies and VPN Configurations
Firewall Policies and VPN Configurations
Deploying a network security policy is a significant and serious undertaking. Making good decisions in this matter will save a great deal of money and prevent many future security issues on your network, while making incorrect or hasty decisions will lay the foundation for an insecure network infrastructure. Creating a network security policy will...
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP): Controlling Convergent Networks (McGraw-Hill Communication Series)
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP): Controlling Convergent Networks (McGraw-Hill Communication Series)
Telephone networks have come a long ways in the last 100 years. Or have they? If one looks at how a telephone network works, not much has changed. Connections are still made through “dedicated” circuits connected end to end for the duration of a call. While switchboard operators have been replaced by digital switching systems, the...
Microsoft Dynamics CRM API Development for Online and On-Premise Environments
Microsoft Dynamics CRM API Development for Online and On-Premise Environments

I have had the pleasure to work with Dynamics CRM since its 1.1 version. I can be honest—I didn’t feel cheated when Microsoft skipped the 2.0 release, and although it has been a late bloomer in the CRM market, it has gained significant traction over the last few releases and manages to land in the right (top right, to be specific)...


Managing Emotion in Design Innovation
Managing Emotion in Design Innovation

This book presents an emotion centered research framework titled "emoha" for design innovation. It defines emoha and underlines the importance of the developed framework in culturalization of technology and thereby design innovation. The book explains the detailed research on product styling which leads to the creation of...

Linear Models with R (Chapman & Hall/CRC Texts in Statistical Science)

Books on regression and the analysis of variance abound-many are introductory, many are theoretical. While most of them do serve a purpose, the fact remains that data analysis cannot be properly learned without actually doing it, and this means using a statistical software package. There are many of these to choose from as well, all with...
