诺大一个中国,却无书可读

在论坛里,经常看到有些网友说中国的游戏开发别的都不缺,就缺好的创意策化.其实,中国游戏开发什么都缺,游戏程序设计开发,美工,3D,AI都很落后. 

  目前国外流行的都是3D游戏(如半条命2),开发该类游戏的重要基础之一就是计算机图形学,而且是real-time rendering(实时绘制).因此游戏程序开发与一般程序设计不同,有一定的门槛,不象写信息管理系统程序,无论谁学几SQL语句,便能操刀上阵了. 

  要开发3D游戏,首先要学习计算机图形学,但由于各种原因,国内现有的计算机图形学书籍都比较初级,没有深入的.而且都是比较传统的.2000年左右, 随着显卡技术(GPU)的革命性突破,实时绘制大行其道,国外这方面的书籍很多,可在中国却看不到,我国没有把外版书直接放在书店卖的传统(怕太贵卖不掉,一本书要五百人民币左右);要等翻译吧,国内一年在这方面也翻译不了几本,而且等到翻译出来了,有些技术也成昨日黄花了,再说翻译的水准也不行(估计翻译的人员自己也不太懂);等影印版吧,便宜,可国外出版社哪肯把能卖大价钱的畅销书贱卖给我国. 

  国内学术界的杂志关于计算机图形学的文章很少,不象国外有很本多专门的计算机图形学杂志,而且高水平的很少.于是国内这方面的印刷资料基本上没有.国内也有些人编过3D的编程书籍,但太小儿科,这样的书没什么帮助. 

  常看英文文献的网友,会去国外下载高水平论文(如SIGGRPAH),但由于这些论文都需要一定的背景知识,否则很难看懂.这些背景知识散见于以前的论文和书籍.前面说过图形学外文书籍国内是不容易找到的,有些论文在网上只有会员才能下,一般人只能看个摘要. 

  所以,在国内一个业余爱好者研究计算机图形学的环境很差,有些网友虽然会依葫芦画瓢写VERTEX SHADER,PIXEL SHADER来达到特殊的效果,但对于这些程序背后的原理却一点儿不清楚,direct3D下有很多例子,能理解的人又有几个,HDRI, Subsurface Scattering这些术语背后后技术更是很少有人涉及. 

  由此造成国内民间对计算机图形学的认识很肤浅,没有普及,大部分计算机专业的学生都不太懂,运动员都是从群众中选拔出来的,群众体质较差,运动员也好不到哪儿去.可想而知专业的3D游戏程序设计水平会高吗?--- 空中楼阁. 

  而国外不一样,一个业余爱好者占有的资料会比大学教授都多,水平也就更高.(看看国外那些个3d引擎)国内大部分的游戏开发论坛都没有实质性内容,很肤浅. 

  所以希望出版社或相关部门能意识到这个问题,出版社最好能直接引进高水平,有深度的计算机图形学图书 
(不要老是VC,VB,JAVA),语言是工具,只有运用到各个专门领域才能发挥更大的作用. 

  这些都是高水平的real-time rendering书籍,看看国外有这么多,那儿的业余爱好者多幸福. 

  这些书国内基本上没有,国内的业余爱好者有多悲惨.
