About this eBook

Developing Graphics Frameworks with Python and OpenGL shows you how to create software for rendering complete three-dimensional scenes. The authors explain the foundational theoretical concepts as well as the practical programming techniques that will enable you to create your own animated and interactive computer-generated worlds.

You will learn how to combine the power of OpenGL, the most widely adopted cross-platform API for GPU programming, with the accessibility and versatility of the Python programming language. Topics you will explore include generating geometric shapes, transforming objects with matrices, applying image-based textures to surfaces, and lighting your scene. Advanced sections explain how to implement procedurally generated textures, postprocessing effects, and shadow mapping. In addition to the sophisticated graphics framework you will develop throughout this book, with the foundational knowledge you will gain, you will be able to adapt and extend the framework to achieve even more spectacular graphical results.

Ratings and reviews

In this title i use this book for development and all types of information that it can give . I own a video game designing private corporation company online that i recommend to all video game developers that want the best in there video game development this book is for you that is why i started reading and studding all books that are based on video game design and development i am a chief executive officer of director of computer gaming design republic of south africa international corporation is the first online private corp company in south africa.

but don't teach how to develop website

the basically element is a book, are you studying without book?? it's meant the principle study is a book.
