Publisher Description: Get a quick introduction to WebGL, the new standard for 3D rendering on the Web and a member of HTML5's family of technologies. With this hands-on guide, you'll learn essential WebGL development and production concepts, using the JavaScript 3D engine Three.js. At the end of the book, you'll put everything together and build a full 3D application with WebGL. You don't have to be a game development wizard or have 3D graphics experience to get started. If you use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript--and have familiarity with JQuery and Ajax--this book will help you gain a working knowledge of WebGL through clear and simple examples.
WebGL: Up and Running is an ideal introduction to the world of 3D programming on the web. It's well-written, clear, and fun. I wish it had been around when I started learning! |
