Computer Animation: Algorithms and Techniques

By Rick Parent Ph.D. and Andrew Hogue Ph.D.

Computer Animation: Algorithms and Techniques, Fourth Edition surveys computer algorithms and programming techniques for specifying and generating motion for graphical objects, that is, computer animation. It is primarily concerned with three-dimensional (3D) computer animation. In this edition, the most current techniques are covered along with the theory and high-level computation that have earned the book a reputation as the best technically oriented animation resource. As in previous editions, the book addresses practical issues, provides accessible techniques, and offers straightforward implementations.
