If you're more interested in learning how to make games instead of playing them! Then this book is your sweet ticket! Games on the web are evolving - and so are the technologies. Get your teeth into the latest API - and API with `teeth'! Breaks the mould and is a pioneer - including a new shader language known as the WebGPU Shader Language (WGSL). Working with the WGSL shaders! The only web-specific shader language....designed especially for the web! Dual-quaternions are now one of the standard mathematical models for representing spatial transforms - as with quaternions, they offer an efficient, robust solution that can solve a number of unique problems (e.g., interpolation and skinning challenges). After you get over the name, which can be scary, they're not bad - as Shakespeare said, 'a rose by any other name would smell as sweet' - well I can tell you, if Roses were called 'dual-quaternions', they would definetly not be as romantic :D But for spatial transforms and solving kinematic and graphical problems they're very useful (and important).

3D File Formats
The bits and bytes...
  
... 3D FORMATS ... THE BITS & BYTES .. WHATS GOING ON INSIDE ... FUN!


Data for 3d models has to be stored in files - this data can be as simple as positions to materials and animation frames. The following is a range of popular file formats for storing 3d model data.


3D File Formats - From A to Z (Raw Juicy Workings)


The following provide tutorials, source code and exploration insights on various 3d file formats below - which usually start with opening and looking at the inner file data - through to extracting it and analysing it - then onto actually processing the data and using it (e.g., displaying it on screen).


• Quake 2 Format (.md2) - 3D File Format.

• Quake 3 Format (.md3).


• 3D Studio Max (.3DS) Format - So much its scary..

    - 3DS Part 1 - "the bits inside"

    - 3DS Part 2 - re-usable body parts


• X File Format (.x) - DirectX!

• 3D Milkshape (Plugin Exporter)

• MS3D MilkShape Format (.ms3d)

• BVH 3D Format (.bvh)

• OBJ Model Format (.obj)

• ASE Model Format (.ase)

• JSON 3D Format (.json)

• LiDAR (LAS) 3D Point Cloud Format (.las)

• glTF 3d file format (.gltf)


Get in touch if you think of a 3d file format that would be really useful - or if you discover a link/information that you think should be added to an article for extra help for readers.
