Résumé

"Advanced Visual Effects with Direct3D" offers coverage of the latest need-to-know topics in the game industry. It covers advanced topics that have not been covered in other books on the market that have focused on introductory material necessary to educate the reader about Direct3D. If you're already experienced with Direct3D and have conquered the basics, this advanced level book offers the coverage you're searching for. By not concentrating on introductory coverage, far more space is available to provide rich coverage of advanced topics not adequately covered in current books on the market.

Features

An in-depth guide that dives deeper than most "teach yourself DirectX" books by focusing on cutting edge advanced topics.

Includes information about using DirectX and the upcoming XNA on other platforms such as the PS2.

Provides concise, need-to-know, information about each topic with well written technical prose and example code.
