SSI Fellow and Professor of Computer Graphics Technology at Purdue University Northwest Magesh Chandramouli has recently published 3D Modeling & Animation: A Primer. The book contains over two hundred images to illustrate the concepts and uses a simple, clear, and concise approach to explaining the basics of modelling and animation. Each chapter ends with review questions that help the reader consolidate their understanding of what they have learned.

3D Modeling & Animation: A Primer is an essential text in the journey to mastering Graphics and 3D modelling and animation. These highly stimulating subject areas should not be watered down by pure theory and erudite equations. Without being too generic and too detailed, the book presents the right amount of material to provide a firm grasp of the underlying principles in a simple but engaging manner.

Graphics, 3D modelling, and animation are the cornerstones of the video game industry, the motion picture industry, digital lighting, and many other professions. These subjects intertwine with each other and even require a sufficient understanding of mathematics and physics. While other books assume readers know these basics, 3D Modeling & Animation: A Primer provides the necessary foundations for newcomers to construct their new worlds of art and 3D design.

If you want to learn more about the subject, 3D Modeling & Animation: A Primer can be purchased on Amazon.co.uk.

Review

"If I were still teaching introductory computer graphics, I would not hesitate to use this textbook as it has just the right amount of coverage of the topic for a semester course and is presented in a highly appealing manner to engage the reader."
