Beginning WebGL for HTML5, 9781430239963 (1430239964), Apress, 2012

WebGL (Web-based Graphics Language) is a wonderful and exciting new technology that lets you create

powerful 3D graphics within a web browser. The way that this is achieved is by using a JavaScript API that interacts with the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). This book will quickly get you on your way to demystify shaders and render realistic scenes. To ensure enjoyable development, we will show how to use debugging tools and survey libraries which can maximize productivity.

Beginning WebGL for HTML5 gets you rapidly up to speed with WebGL, a powerful new graphics language within the browser. You'll render realistic scenes with advanced lighting models, shadows, blending and textures. You'll also use mathematics to model fractals and particle systems. Going beyond that, Beginning WebGL for HTML5 presents advanced vertex and fragment shader usage for creating stunning, top-end results. 

You'll benefit from using modern frameworks to rapidly develop complex scenes, and make use of many tools to help improve rendering performance and debugging. Beginning WebGL for HTML5 builds your critical WebGL development skills while being enjoyable at each step of the way.

  • Quickly get up to speed with WebGL
