From the table of contents: - Polyhedra - Boundary Models - A Small Language Modeler - The Algebraic Model - Computation of Algebraic Manifolds - Topological Specification of Forms and Shapes - The Modeling Principle - The GECO Language - Coefficients of a Projected Curve

Python is a great object-oriented and interactive programming language that lets you develop graphics, both static and animated, using built-in vector graphics functions that are provided with Python. Python 2.6 Graphics Cookbook is a collection of straightforward recipes and illustrative screenshots for creating and animating graphic objects using the Python language. This book makes the process of developing graphics interesting and entertaining by working in a graphic workspace without the burden of mastering complicated language definitions and opaque examples. If you choose to work...

This book focuses on the history of video games, consoles, and home computers from the very beginning until the mid-nineties, which started a new era in digital entertainment. The text features the most innovative games and introduces the pioneers who developed them. It offers brief analyses of the most relevant games from each time period. An epilogue covers the events and systems that followed this golden age while the appendices include a history of handheld games and an overview of the retro-gaming scene.

Blender 2.5 is one of the most usable 3D suites available. Its material and texture functions offer spectacular surface creation possibilities. It can take you hours just to create basic textures and materials in Blender and when you think of creating complex materials and textures you are petrified. Imagine how you will feel when you overcome these obstacles. This book wastes no time on boring theory and bombards you with examples of ready-created materials and textures from the start, with clear instructions on how they were created, and what you can learn from them for making your own. It...

Aus den Besprechungen: ..".Das vorliegende Buch geht von einer Vorstellung des zentralen Teils des Simulators, der Ablaufkontrolle, aus. Ihre Funktion zur Steuerung kontinuierlicher und diskreter Modellteile wird mit Hilfe von Beispielen in anschaulicher, gut verstandlicher Weise erlautert. Diese Anschaulichkeit und die Nutzung von Beispielen zur Verdeutlichung von Datenstrukturen und Algorithmen zeichnen das ganze Buch aus...Zusammenfassend ist der vorliegende Band 2 der Fachberichte Simulation als eine gut lesbare Anwenderdokumentation des Simulators GPSS-FORTRAN zu...

Computer Aided Design - kurz CAD - ist die Wissenschaft und Technik des Automatisierens von Konstruktions- und Zeichentatigkeiten. Wesentliche Inhalte des vorliegenden Buches sind dementsprechend die Grundlagen zur Automatisierung von Konstruktions- bzw. Gestaltungsprozessen, von Zeichen- und Darstellungsprozessen sowie der einschlagigen Datentechnik. Der Darstellung von Konstruktionsergebnissen, deren Ubertragung (Schnittstellenproblematik) und Weiterverarbeitung zu Produktionsdaten sind weitere Kapitel gewidmet. Ein Konzept fur ein umfassendes CAD-Konstruktions- und...

The last decade has seen the emergence of a unified approach for product design which attempts to combine traditionally distinct tasks such as design, management, marketing, analysis, manufacture and materials. Often called "Concurrent Engineering" or "Simultaneous Engineering", this new philosophy aims at improving cost competitiveness by reducing waste of time, money, and other resources inherent in the iterative traditional methods. In view of the importance of this new philosophy, concurrent engineering was selected as the theme for the conference on which this text is based. The main...

3D Modeling, Animation, and Rendering: An Illustrated Lexicon, Black and White Edition presents definitions for over 1200 terms, with hundreds of illustrations.

"Machine, Meet Human: Designing a Useful Interface" is written to help anyone from any background get up to speed with the state of SCADA HMI graphics design and to teach the concepts of the most effective design ideas. The idea of graphic creation covered here is a holistic approach starting with the need. Then it progresses to understanding the aspects of the Machine and the Human; what makes them unique and what makes them similar. Finally we see how we can design with those understandings in mind to leverage existing habits and natural tendencies to create graphics that enhance efficiency...

Graphics Shaders: Theory and Practice is intended for a second course in computer graphics at the undergraduate or graduate level, introducing shader programming in general, but focusing on the GLSL shading language. While teaching how to write programmable shaders, the authors also teach and reinforce the fundamentals of computer graphics. The second edition has been updated to incorporate changes in the OpenGL API (OpenGL 4.x and GLSL 4.x0) and also has a chapter on the new tessellation shaders, including many practical examples.

The book starts with a...

The absolute cutting edge for application development at the moment is using Macromedia's Flash MX (the premier software for designing fantastic looking interfaces) with Microsoft's .NET framework (tremendously powerful server-side technology).
