The OpenGL Extensions Guide (Hardcover)

Summary

OpenGL is the premier environment for developing 2D and 3D graphics and game applications. The interface has been the choice of game programmers, primarily because of its cross-platform operability, but also, because it is constantly evolving to keep pace with hardware advances in the form of extensions. Until now, the game industry was lacking one single, concise reference to help make sense of the dozens of extensions available.

The OpenGL Extensions Guide provides a valuable resource that concentrates specifically on the extensions most important to developing modern 3D games. The book describes extensions in groups that modify or augment similar components of the base OpenGL architecture.
 

OpenGL是開發2D和3D圖形和遊戲應用程序的首選環境。該界面一直是遊戲程序員的首選，主要是因為它具有跨平台的可操作性，同時也因為它不斷發展以跟上硬件進步的形式擴展。直到現在，遊戲行業一直缺乏一個簡潔的參考資料，以幫助理解數十個可用的擴展。

《OpenGL擴展指南》提供了一個寶貴的資源，專注於開發現代3D遊戲最重要的擴展。該書將擴展分組描述，這些擴展修改或增強了基本OpenGL架構的相似組件。
