ooooo how about showing how to build a bezier curve path and have a camera follow it? =)

And if you wanted to be even fancier you could have two paths, one for the position and one for the view vector of the camera?

I''m just firing off every cool idea that comes to mind but I guess that''s what you''re looking for =)

I''d much rather see a great example and discussion on using OpenAL for 3D sound, I don''t think I have any books on it, and it would be nicer for people reading the book that need a portable solution (OpenAL + OpenGL rocks)

Maybe a section on both?

Doesn''t Jim Adams cover advanced animation in his new DirectX book? Is it just about keyframe animation?

Hi,

These are some of the topics I had most difficulty to find in books:

- Skeletal animation

- Shaders (per-pixel effects, like per-pixel lighting, bump mapping, etc...)

What about a powerful animation system (with skinning, mesh morphing etc)

hi

subject that definitely will be:
skeletal animation system from the simple to the advanced.
system, also BSP trees solid and leaf teory and use.

few people said that they would like to see a working code that plugs into a real game, to do this i''m contacting with companies that ouns several great data formats such as bsp3 and md3 and i hope they give me the permission to include info about them and use it to show how the teory implemnt in a real game env''.

10x for answering

I''ll buy it

Personally, I want to see topics not already found in other books. Something like:

(From Demo to Game-of-the-Year, Taking your idea to the next level.)

Focus on ideas such as:

1. Market Research
2. System Requirements
3. Open Standards vs. Proprietary API''s
4. Conversion from Demo to Full game
5. Client/Server Model
6. "Tricks" vs. Gameplay
7. Homegrown engine vs. Licensed

but that''s my opinion, I could be wrong!

Would like to see a reference to this site and perhaps a few of our demos on an accompanying disk.

Shaders, I''m still in search of a book that goes into good detail and has practical, advanced, modern usage. (A lot has changed in the past 3 years with the usage, and advancement of 3d card capibilites)
