Web references
This section contians links to web sites with relevant material to the topics diiscussed in the book:
Chapter 1 Introduction
- The references in the text provide an excellent compendium of additional reading.
Chapter 2 Mathematics for 3D Graphics
- The excellent book by Lengyel offers a very open and completely comprehensive explanation of the maths for 3D graphics.
Chapter 3 Datastructures for 3D Graphics
- No references.
Chapter 4 Basic Visualization
- No references - see references in the text..
Chapter 5 Realistic Visualization
- Radiosity Software...
A freely available radiosity renderer with code. - The book by Pharr and Humphreys is regarded as the cold standard in this area.
Chapter 6 Animation

Link to the apple web site - Android development
Lin to the Android developer information - Eclipse
The Eclipse developer platform
Chapter 9 The Complete Package: OpenFX
- Get everything from the OpenFX.org web site
Chapter 10 Modeling with Polygonated Datasets
- In addition to the raw code for all the algorithms that can be obtained here; OpenFX has source implementations in the context of a rich set of data structures.
- The book by
O'Rourke is an excellent source of algorithms for many key
modelling algorithms. Code for the algorithms is available from
the author's web-site.
Chapter 11 Algorithms for procedural textures
- .. Implementations of all the procedural textures for both a
software rendering engine and an OpenGL shader based engine may
be obtained from the OpenFX web site.
Libraries
-
The GL utility Toolkit GLUT..
The Original OpenGL add on.
- GLUI...
A user intterface component library for OpenGL based programs that builds on the GLUT or Freeglut.
- FREEGLUT..
An uptodate version of the GLUT that is also available for Anroid mobile platforms. - GLFW
An equally useful encapsulating library to that of the FreeGLUT. - GLEW
Adds al OpenGL extension functions in an easy to access format.
- HaptiMap..
The haptimap toolkit allows for 3D graphics on mobile platforms specifically for mapping applications.
