Overview of this book

<p>"Write once, use anywhere" is truly the power behind OpenGL ES and has made it an embedded industry standard. The library provides cutting-edge, easy-to-use features to build a wide range of applications in the gaming, simulation, augmented-reality, image-processing, and geospatial domains.</p> <p>The book starts by providing you with all the necessary OpenGL ES 3.0 setup guidelines on iOS and Android platforms. You'll go on to master the fundamentals of modern 3D graphics, such as drawing APIs, transformations, buffer objects, the model-view-project analogy, and much more. The book goes on to deal with advanced topics and offers a wide range of recipes on the light shading, real-time rendering techniques with static and procedure textures to create stunning visualizations and runtime effects.</p>

Adding local and relative transformations

Transformation can be divided into two types:

  • Local transformation: This type of transformation is only applicable to an object; it does not affect its child objects. For example, if two objects are in a parent-child relationship, then applying the local scale transformation will not scale the child object.

  • Relative transformation: This type of transformation is applied with respect to the parent of the object. Here, the transformation of the parent is propagated to the children, thereby affecting the geometrical vertex positions in the 3D space. For example, in this case, the scaling transformation to the parent object will scale all its children and their children.

    Note

    If an object does not have a parent (called the root object), then the OpenGL ES coordinate system will be considered its parent. The next recipe will discuss more about the parent-child relationship.

This recipe will create two mesh objects (Torus, Suzzane) and produce an effect similar...
