After 8 months of hard work, I am now a published author! It has been a challenging but rewarding experience and I’m really excited to finally see it published. I hope people find it as enjoyable to read as I found it to write.
If you’re interested in taking a look, there is a sample chapter available on the book’s page at Packt Publishing or from Amazon (Direct3D Rendering Cookbook
About Direct3D Rendering Cookbook
Direct3D Rendering Cookbook contains 50 practical recipes to guide you through a number of advanced Direct3D rendering techniques to help bring your 3D graphics project to life. This is a practical cookbook that dives into the various methods of programming 3D graphics with C# and SharpDX. It is a package of innovative and up-to-date 3D rendering techniques supported by illustrations, sample code, and concise explanations.
The book covers a range of topics including:
- How to set up a Direct3D application and perform real-time 3D rendering with C# and SharpDX
- Learn techniques for debugging your Direct3D application
- Render a 3D environment with lights, models, and materials
- Explore character animation using bones and vertex skinning
- Create additional surface detail using tessellation with displacement mapping and displacement decals
- Implement image post-processing tasks within compute shaders
- Use real-time deferred rendering techniques to implement improved shading for lighting and shadows
- Learn to program the graphics pipeline with shaders using HLSL and Shader Model 5
That is awesome! Congratulations!
