A few people have suggested that I post the source code for the 3D software-rasterization book I've worked on over the last few months. Well, here it is!
Source code, free to use and modify.
Also, I hate to post redundant content (same book, no changes since last time) in the last few days, so if this gets down-voted, shit happens. As always, I hope people learn something new, have fun, and hopefully post changes back to me - any and all help is greatly appreciated!
I will like to create something like this in 3D:
What is different under the hood that allows game engines to handle so many assets in real-time wheres 3D graphics software spend ages in one small patch environment
Recently, I am studying about computer graphics programming with OpenGL. Now I need a 3D computer graphics software to create a 3D model, UV map, bone animation, material, and so on. To help me to learn more computer graphics programming.
So which 3D computer graphics software is good for me? I prefer to free software. So I don't consider about 3ds Max. Also, I hope the software supports glTF export and I can design my own export.
Blender seems to be a good choice. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you very much.
EDIT: just noticed the book uses OpenGL, so I think I should study that first.
I'm just a simple beginner testing the waters. While there are many books that deep-dives on rendering, physics and its related math, Mathematics for 3D Game Programming and Computer Graphics caught my attention because it seems to give a good overview about it game engines, which I think it could be interesting to someone still at the beginning of its studies and could start implementing some basic things before going further on other subjects.
The thing is, its last edition is from 2011. Is this too old? I think the author is prioritizing his other books that goes into more details about each of this topic, only the ones about math and rendering is published and, as I said, I think just the basics of each topic could be more productive.
P.S: I'm studying linear algebra from a pure math book and plan to do the same with calculus, so I think that part is well served at the moment, but would still welcome any recommendations.
I have been searching for so long.
Per the FAQ:
> Games with 3D graphics. As of this writing, MAME does not pass polygons down to the video card of your system; instead, it renders all 3D graphics by hand in software.
But most arcade engines from the mid 90's on used 3D hardware, and as MAME is about preservation, wouldn't translating the original game's 3D API through OpenGL be a more accurate representation of the system?
Certainly, I know for a fact so many of those early 3D chipsets by 3Dfx and PowerVR made it into some arcade cabinets, and their APIs were based on OpenGL. Anyway, I'm not trying to kick up a argument with MAME preservation purists, just wondering if emulating the 3D hardware with modern 3D APIs would be more accurate or not.
Hey, i'll like to move to Leipzig, after finish my Master in March. Iam looking for nice job as Software-Developer in companys, institute or colleges which has topics of Artificial Intelligence, Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, 3D, Algorithm and Image Processing. Has anyone a nice idea or tip wher to apply?
Hey all,
I'm a freelance software developer with 20 years of experience, including Computer Vision, image and video processing and 3D/2D graphics using OpenGL, DirectX and XNA. I've done mobile apps, I worked with databases and data mining. I have years of experience with C++, Java and C# and Python.
I've worked extensively with sensors and cameras (IR, 3D, thermal), I build and program robots and quadcopters and I teach 3D printing & modeling workshops.
I worked in two big companies and several startups, I've managed teams of developers and I also have a lot of experience with product management, system design and dealing with customers.
I've had my work (mainly interactive kiosks) displayed at the Beijing Olympics, Disney movie premiers, shopping malls and major events around the world.
My portfolio and full CV can be found at http://ShacharWeis.com/
I'm based in Canada and I'm available for contract or consulting work.
Thanks !
Well, I know the fundamental difference between the two dimensions: 2D is length and width, 3D is length, width, and height. But I still don't get how a monitor which is essentially flat can show 3D images and it actually looks 3D despite being on a flat surface. Are 3D video games just 2D with the illusion of being 3D? And how does the computer generate them both?
Software developer with over 15 years of experience, including but not limited to:
- Computer vision and image/video processing using OpenCV, EMGU, ITK and other libraries.
- 3D and 2D graphics, using DirectX, OpenGL and XNA
- 3D Printing, Scanning, working with 3D data, point clouds, meshes and geometry
- Hardware integration with sensors and cameras (IR, thermal, depth, line cameras)
- Robotics, commercial drones and real-time systems
- Database systems
- C++, C#, Python and Java.
Based in Canada, looking for remote part-time contract work. Can travel for meetings. PM for portfolio and email.
Thanks!
