Description
This book provides a fundamental understanding of global illumination algorithms, and introduces a theoretical basis for the algorithms presented. It also includes exercises for each chapter. The new material on environment map sampling, lightcuts, and precomputed radiance transfer expands on the material in the second edition of this book.
This book provides the reader with a fundamental understanding of global illumination algorithms. It discusses a broad class of algorithms for realistic image synthesis and introduces a theoretical basis for the algorithms presented. This completely updated second edition includes: Exercises for each chapter New material on environment map sampling, lightcuts and precomputed radiance transfer Expanded material on human perception
