Roblox is a global virtual platform like no other for both playing and creating games. With well over 150 million monthly active users, Roblox hosts all genres of games that can be played by other members of the community using the Lua programming language. Not only can you create games for free, but you can also earn considerable sums of money if from the success of your games, and become part of the vast and supportive developer circle that provides excellent opportunities for networking in a tight-knit community.With this practical book, you'll get hands-on experience working on the Roblox platform. You'll start with an overview of Roblox development and then understand how to use Roblox Studio. As you progress, you'll gradually learn everything you need from how to program in Roblox Lua to creating Obby and Battle Royale games. Finally, you'll delve into the logistics of game production, focusing on optimizing the performance of your game by implementing impressive mechanics, monetization, and marketing practices.By the end of this Roblox book, you'll be able to lead or work with a team to bring your gaming world to life, and extend that experience to players around the world.

Unity is the leading platform to develop mixed reality experiences because it provides a great pipeline for working with 3D assets.Using a practical and project-based approach, this Learning Path educates you about the specifics of AR and VR development using Unity 2018 and Unity 3D. You’ll learn to integrate, animate, and overlay 3D objects on your camera feed, before moving on to implement sensor-based AR applications. You’ll explore various concepts by creating an AR application using Vuforia for both macOS and Windows for Android and iOS devices. Next, you’ll learn how to develop VR applications that can be experienced with devices, such as Oculus and Vive. You’ll also explore various tools for VR development: gaze-based versus hand controller input, world space UI canvases, locomotion and teleportation, timeline animation, and multiplayer networking. You’ll learn the Unity 3D game engine via the interactive Unity Editor and C# programming. By the end of this Learning Path, you’ll be fully equipped to develop rich, interactive mixed reality experiences using Unity.This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products:• Unity Virtual Reality Projects - Second Edition by Jonathan Linowes• Unity 2018 Augmented Reality Projects by Jesse Glover

This edition provides step-by-step instruction on modern OpenGL 4.0+ GLSL shader programming with C++, covering theoretical foundations of 3D computer graphics. Every shader stage is explored, from basics like modeling, textures, lighting, and shadows, to advanced techniques such as tessellation, noise maps, water, and stereoscopy. Expanded coverage includes camera control, refraction, and ray tracing with bounding volume hierarchies. Companion files include source code, shaders, model files, and skyboxes for all examples in the book.Understanding these concepts is crucial for creating sophisticated 3D graphics applications. The course begins with OpenGL basics and pipeline understanding, followed by mathematical foundations and managing 3D graphics data. It covers texture mapping, 3D models, lighting, shadows, enhancing surface detail, and advanced topics like parametric surfaces, tessellation, and geometry shaders. Final chapters delve into simulating water, ray tracing, and stereoscopy for 3D graphics.This book equips readers with the knowledge to master OpenGL programming and 3D graphics, making it invaluable for developers and enthusiasts aiming to advance their skills. The practical approach and comprehensive examples ensure thorough learning, bridging the gap between theory and real-world application.
