Interactive Computer Graphics with WebGL, Global Edition

This book is suitable for undergraduate students in computer science and engineering, for students in other disciplines who have good programming skills, and for professionals. Computer animation and graphics are now prevalent in everyday life, from the computer screen to the movie screen to the smartphone screen. The growing excitement about WebGL applications and their ability to integrate HTML5 inspired the authors to exclusively use WebGL in the seventh edition of Interactive Computer Graphics with WebGL. This is the only introduction to computer graphics text for undergraduates that fully integrates WebGL and emphasizes application-based programming. The top-down, programming-oriented approach allows for coverage of engaging 3D material early in the course, so students immediately begin to create their own 3D graphics.

Teaching and Learning Experience: This program will provide a better teaching and learning experience for you and your students. It will help engage students immediately with 3D material. A top-down, programming-oriented approach allows for coverage of engaging 3D material early in the course, so students immediately begin to create their own graphics. It also introduces computer graphics programming with WebGL and JavaScript. WebGL is not only fully shader-based—each application must provide at least a vertex shader and a fragment shader—but also a version that works within the latest web browsers.
