OpenGL ES 3.0 is the industry’s leading software interface and graphics library for rendering sophisticated 3D graphics on handheld and embedded devices. In the OpenGL ES 3.0 Programming Guide, leading authorities on the OpenGL ES interface provide start-to-finish guidance on the new 3.0 release and how to maximize its use in a wide range of high-performance applications. Developers creating 3D handheld games, user interfaces, or applications using OpenGL ES 3.0 will want to read this guide that focuses on the OpenGL ES 3.0 pipeline (the API and the shading language), and shows how to develop applications for OpenGL ES 3.0 via examples, descriptions, and best-practices. The OpenGL ES 3.0 specification contains many new features that are covered in this 2nd edition of the book.
OpenGL® ESTM is the industry’s leading software interface and graphics library for rendering sophisticated 3D graphics on handheld and embedded devices. The newest version, OpenGL ES 3.0, makes it possible to create stunning visuals for new games and apps, without compromising device performance or battery life.
In the OpenGL® ESTM 3.0 Programming Guide, Second Edition, the authors cover the entire API and Shading Language. They carefully introduce OpenGL ES 3.0 features such as shadow mapping, instancing, multiple render targets, uniform buffer objects, texture compression, program binaries, and transform feedback.
Through detailed, downloadable C-based code examples, you’ll learn how to set up and program every aspect of the graphics pipeline. Step by step, you’ll move from introductory techniques all the way to advanced per-pixel lighting and particle systems. Throughout, you’ll find cutting-edge tips for optimizing performance, maximizing efficiency with both the API and hardware, and fully leveraging OpenGL ES 3.0 in a wide spectrum of applications.
All code has been built and tested on iOS 7, Android 4.3, Windows (OpenGL ES 3.0 Emulation), and Ubuntu Linux, and the authors demonstrate how to build OpenGL ES code for each platform.
Coverage includes
- EGL API: communicating with the native windowing system, choosing configurations, and creating rendering contexts and surfaces
- Shaders: creating and attaching shader objects; compiling shaders; checking for compile errors; creating, linking, and querying program objects; and using source shaders and program binaries
- OpenGL ES Shading Language: variables, types, constructors, structures, arrays, attributes, uniform blocks, I/O variables, precision qualifiers, and invariance
- Geometry, vertices, and primitives: inputting geometry into the pipeline, and assembling it into primitives
- 2D/3D, Cubemap, Array texturing: creation, loading, and rendering; texture wrap modes, filtering, and formats; compressed textures, sampler objects, immutable textures, pixel unpack buffer objects, and mipmapping
- Fragment shaders: multitexturing, fog, alpha test, and user clip planes
- Fragment operations: scissor, stencil, and depth tests; multisampling, blending, and dithering
- Framebuffer objects: rendering to offscreen surfaces for advanced effects
- Advanced rendering: per-pixel lighting, environment mapping, particle systems, image post-processing, procedural textures, shadow mapping, terrain, and projective texturing
- Sync objects and fences: synchronizing within host application and GPU execution
This edition of the book includes a color insert of the OpenGL ES 3.0 API and OpenGL ES Shading Language 3.0 Reference Cards created by Khronos. The reference cards contain a complete list of all of the functions in OpenGL ES 3.0 along with all of the types, operators, qualifiers, built-ins, and functions in the OpenGL ES Shading Language.
The OpenGL ES 3.0 specification contains many new features that have been updated in the text –
- Nearly half the text updated to get the shaders up to ESSL 3.0 along with including new vertex, texture, and renderbuffer formats
- Updated to account for changes in the OpenGL ES 3.0 API to existing functionality (for example, varyings becoming in/out variables)
- New content covering the new features in OpenGL ES 3.0
- Several new examples to Chapter 14 highlighting new features of OpenGL ES 3.0 such as using transform feedback in rendering a particle system, using pixel buffer objects for render-to-vertex-buffer, and doing shadows with depth textures with brand new samples
- Teaches how to write 3D applications using OpenGL ES 3.0
-
Discusses the entire the OpenGL ES graphics pipeline and best practices for development efficient OpenGL ES apps
-
Gives practical examples for the reader to use in his/her own code.
-

“As a graphics technologist and intense OpenGL ES developer, I can honestly say that if you buy only one book on OpenGL ES 3.0 programming, then this should be the book. Dan and Budirijanto have written a book clearly by programmers for programmers. It is simply required reading for anyone interested in OpenGL ES 3.0. It is informative, well organized, and comprehensive, but best of all practical. You will find yourself reaching for this book over and over again instead of the actual OpenGL ES specification during your programming sessions. I give it my highest recommendation.”
–Rick Tewell, Graphics Technology Architect, Freescale
“This book provides outstanding coverage of the latest version of OpenGL ES, with clear, comprehensive explanations and extensive examples. It belongs on the desk of anyone developing mobile applications.”
–Dave Astle, Graphics Tools Lead, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., and Founder, GameDev.net
“The second edition of OpenGL® ES™ 3.0 Programming Guide provides a solid introduction to OpenGL ES 3.0 specifications, along with a wealth of practical information and examples to help any level of developer begin programming immediately. We’d recommend this guide as a primer on OpenGL ES 3.0 to any of the thousands of developers creating apps for the many mobile and embedded products using our PowerVR Rogue graphics.”
–Kristof Beets, Business Development, Imagination Technologies
“This is a solid OpenGL ES 3.0 reference book. It covers all aspects of the API and will help any developer get familiar with and understand the API, including specifically the new ES 3.0 functionality.”
–Jed Fisher, Managing Partner, 4D Pipeline
“This is a clear and thorough reference for OpenGL ES 3.0, and an excellent presentation of the concepts present in all modern OpenGL programming. This is the guide I’d want by my side when diving into embedded OpenGL.”
–Todd Furlong, President & Principal Engineer, Inv3rsion LLC
