Pro OpenGL ES for Android

Pro OpenGL ES for Android Synopsis

In Pro OpenGL ES for Android, you'll find out how to harness the full power of OpenGL ES, and design your own 3D applications by building a fully-functional 3D solar system model using Open GL ES! OpenGL has set the standard for 3D computer graphics, and is an essential aspect ofAndroid development. This bookoffers everything you need to know, from basic mathematical conceptstoadvanced coding techniques. You'll learn by building a fascinating 3D solar system simulator! After introducing Open GL ES, Pro OpenGL ES forAndroid explains the basics of 3D math and thenorients you to the native Android3D libraries you'll be using inyour own 3D games and the solar system project you'll buildusing this book.Through the solar system example project, you'll learn how to incorporate a variety of graphic and animation techniques into your applications. You will also discover howthe full spectrum of 3D development that awaits, with topics such as lighting, texture-mapping, modeling, shaders, blending modes, andseveral moreadvanced concepts. By the time you finishPro OpenGL ES for Android, you'llhave learned allthe skills you'll need to build your own incredible 3Dapplications, based on one of the most powerful 3Dlibraries available.
