Create An Animated 3D Application Training Course (WebGL)

WebGL (Web Graphics Library) is a JavaScript API for rendering 3D graphics within a web browser without the use of plug-ins.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to generate realistic computer images using 3D graphics as they step through the creation of an animated 3D application that runs in a browser.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand and use WebGL's various functionality, including meshes, transforms, cameras, materials, lighting, and animation
• Animate objects with WebGL
• Create 3D objects using WebGL

Outline:

• Introduction
• Preparing the Browser for Rendering WebGL Content
• Overview of the Graphics Creation Process
• Creating a 2D Static Object
• Adding Color to the Object
• Spinning the Object Around
• Making the Object 3D
• Understanding Points, Vectors, and Meshes
• Transforming the Object
• Adding Directional and Ambient Lighting
• Adding Transparency, Texture and Reflection
• Introducing other Objects
• Simulating Camera Movements
• Programming Vertex and Pixel Shaders
• Animating the Object
• Using the Mouse to Interact with the Object
• Summary and Conclusion
