The Magic of Computer Graphics

About this book

Starting from the basic behavior of light, Ms. Kurachi introduces the most useful techniques for global and local illumination using geometric descriptions of an environment in the first section. She then goes on to describe image-based techniques that rely on captured data to do their magic in the second section. In the final section, she looks at the synthesis of these two complementary approaches and what they mean for the future of computer graphics.
