What does it take to build an iPhone app with stunning 3D graphics? This book will show you how to apply OpenGL graphics programming techniques to any device running the iPhone OS -- including the iPad and iPod Touch -- with no iPhone development or 3D graphics experience required. iPhone 3D Programming provides clear step-by-step instructions, as well as lots of practical advice, for using the iPhone SDK and OpenGL. You'll build several graphics programs -- progressing from simple to more complex examples -- that focus on lighting, textures, blending, augmented reality, optimization for performance and speed, and much more. All you need to get started is a solid understanding of C++ and a great idea for an app. - Learn fundamental graphics concepts, including transformation matrices, quaternions, and more
- Get set up for iPhone development with the Xcode environment
- Become familiar with versions 1.1 and 2.0 of the OpenGL ES API, and learn to use vertex buffer objects, lighting, texturing, and shaders
- Use the iPhone's touch screen, compass, and accelerometer to build interactivity into graphics applications
- Build iPhone graphics applications such as a 3D wireframe viewer, a simple augmented reality application, a spring system simulation, and more

Colophon The insect on the cover of iPhone 3D Programming</emphasis is a grasshopper (insects of the suborder Caelifera Grasshoppers have short antennae, wings, and large back legs that allow them to jump nearly 20 times their body length. Their legs also help produce the familiar chirping sound grasshoppers are known for when they rub against the insect's abdomen. Several species of grasshopper are categorized as locusts, due to their habit of swarming. These swarms come about when locusts are overcrowded. All grasshoppers feed on grass and other live plant matter, consuming roughly 16 times their weight each day. Most species are green or brown so they can camouflage themselves from predators, although more colorful grasshoppers can be found in tropical climates. If picked up or otherwise threatened, grasshoppers will spit out a brownish liquid known colloquially as "tobacco juice." Grasshoppers are the only kosher insects-Leviticus 11:21-22 forbids the consumption of any flying insect with legs, except for the locust. A locust swarm was also one of the biblical plagues of Egypt. |
