N2  - "OpenGL is a powerful software interface used to produce high-quality computer generated images and interactive application using 2D and 3D objects and color bitmaps and images. [This book] provides definitive and comprehensive information on OpenGL and the OpenGL Utility Library. This book discusses all OpenGL functions and their syntax and shows how to use those functions to create interactive applications and realistics colour images. You will find clear explanations of OpenGL functionality and many basic computer graphics techniques, such as building and rendering 3D models; interactively viewing objects from different perspectives points: and using shading, lighting, and texturing effects for greater realism. In addition this book provides in-depth coverage of advanced techniques, including texture mapping, antialiasing, fog and atmospheric effects, UNRBS, images processing, and more. This text also explores other key topics such as enhancing performance, OpenGl, extensions, and cross-platform techniques." - Back cover
