Modern 3D Game Programming
Inspired by the wealth of information in the Game Programming Gems and AI Game Programming Wisdom series, this book applies and expands on that information by utilizing the techniques and ideas to build a complete game framework.
 
Modern 3D Game Programming: Building and Applying a Complete Framework details 3D game programming, and teaches professional and practical methods for constructing code and processing content. It covers advanced C++ techniques, object management techniques, hardware programming issues, UI programming, and 3D game object programming. Additionally, it includes techniques for bringing characters to life through 3D character animation programming, simulating character needs, and creating behaviors.
