Everything you need to know about developinghardware-accelerated 3D graphics with WebGL!
As the newest technology for creating 3D graphics on the web, inboth games, applications, and on regular websites, WebGL gives webdevelopers the capability to produce eye-popping graphics. Thisbook teaches you how to use WebGL to create stunning cross-platformapps. The book features several detailed examples that show you howto develop 3D graphics with WebGL, including explanations of codesnippets that help you understand the why behind the how.
You will also develop a stronger understanding of WebGLdevelopment from coverage that:
*Provides a comprehensive overview of WebGL and shows howit relates to other graphics-related technologies
*Addresses important topics such as the WebGL graphicspipeline, 3D transformations, texturing and lighting
*Teaches you how to write vertex shaders and fragment shadersfor WebGL
*Includes a lot of useful guidelines, tips, and tricks forWebGL performance optimizations
Professional WebGL Programming is the first book on themarket to delve into this fascinating topic and it puts you on yourway to mastering the possibilities that exist with WebGL.
