5. |  OpenGL® ES 2.0 Programming Guide By: Aaftab Munshi; Dan Ginsburg; Dave Shreiner Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Publication Date: 24-JUL-2008 Insert Date: 01-MAR-2008 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: OpenGL® ES 2.0 Programming Guide This is the Safari online edition of the printed book.
OpenGL ES 2.0 is the industry’s leading software interface
and graphics library for rendering sophisticated 3D graphics on
handheld and embedded devices. With OpenGL ES 2.0, the full
programmability of shaders is now available on small and portable
devices—including cell phones, PDAs, consoles, appliances,
and vehicles. However, OpenGL ES differs significantly from OpenGL.
Graphics programmers and mobile developers have had very little
information about it—until now.
In the OpenGL® ES 2.0 Programming Guide, three
leading authorities...
