Webinar overview: 3D Graphics in C++<\/span><\/h2>\n

Dr. Yilmaz Yoru shares his knowledge on graphics, as well as its counterpart analyzers and calculations used in 3D C++. He uses <\/span>C++ Builder<\/span><\/a> for most of his examples but almost any compiler can be used for the projects he demoed. Check out his website and other projects <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why use C++ for 3D<\/span><\/h2>\n

C++ is one of the top options if you are working with 3D graphics for the same reason you use it in embedded systems and high frequency trading\u2014speed and performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Any programming language can execute basic 2D graphics, but if we want to display 3D graphics in real-time (e.g. 3D simulations or rendering for video games),\u00a0 then a language and environment that runs fast is essential. Furthermore, C++ also provides support for some of the most popular 3D libraries available such as OpenGL (GLUT) or Direct3D libraries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Features of C++ used in 3D<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are a couple of useful features in C++ that can be used in general programming as well as 3D work. Watch the session to grasp the fundamentals of these features and how it can be used in 3D C++. Some of the features included:<\/span><\/p>\n
