Design and Implementation of 3D Graphics Systems covers the computational aspects of geometric modeling and rendering 3D scenes. Special emphasis is given to the architectural aspects of interactive graphics, geometric modeling, rendering techniques, the graphics pipeline, and the architecture of 3D graphics systems. The text describes basic 3D computer graphics algorithms and their implementation in the C language. The material is complemented by library routines for constructing graphics systems, which are available for download from the book's website. This book, along with its companion Computer Graphics: Theory and Practice, gives readers a full understanding of the principles and practices of implementing 3D graphics systems.

Computer Graphics: Theory and Practice provides complete and integrated coverage of the subject, including geometric modeling, graphics interface, and visualization. It focuses on conceptual aspects of computer graphics, covering fundamental mathematical models as well as the inherent problems encountered in the implementation of the models. The approach assumes only a fundamental knowledge of calculus and linear algebra and provides the basis for an introductory course.

The text offers a global conceptual view of the field and an understanding of its main problems. For each problem, solution strategies are compared and presented in algorithmic form and complete working implementations are provided in the C language. The complete C source code for the implementation of all the algorithms can be accessed from the book 's website. Together, the book and electronic portion enable readers to understand and practice with the basic techniques involved in the implementation of a 3D graphics system.
