Beschreibung

Whether you're a programmer developing new animation functionality or an animator trying to get the most out of your current animation software, Computer Animation: Algorithms and Techniques will help work more efficiently and achieve better results. For programmers, this book provides a solid theoretical orientation and extensive practical instruction-information you can put to work in any development or customization project. For animators, it provides crystal-clear guidance on determining which of your concepts can be realized using commercially available products, which demand custom programming, and what development strategies are likely to bring you the greatest success. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers GOR002681210

Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

Are you a graphics programmer who builds animation functionality? Are you an animator who uses it? Whatever your role, Computer Animation: Algorithms and Techniques will help you work more efficiently and achieve better results. Covering everything from the low-level techniques that are key to creating precise effects to high-level computations responsible for a scene's general attributes, this book equips you with the breadth of knowledge you need to tackle every facet of the most complex animation projects. Complementing this breadth s the depth required for complete technical mastery-including stop-by-stop instruction, detailed examples, full-color illustrations, and focused coverage of model-specific applications.
