Advanced Global Illumination, Second Edition

Advanced Global Illumination provides the reader with a fundamental understanding of global illumination algorithms. The authors discuss a broad class of algorithms for realistic image synthesis and introduce the theoretical basis for those algorithms presented. The text covers the theory of Monte Carlo techniques and explains how these concepts are used in global illumination algorithms. Hints and tips on how to transform the theoretical concepts to actual software code are a significant feature of this text; the appendix describes how to design a global illumination system, using the building blocks outlined in the book. This book will appeal to all who are interested in implementing and designing a global illumination rendering system.Philippe Bekaert is the author of 'Advanced Global Illumination, Second Edition', published 2003 under ISBN 9781568811772 and ISBN 1568811772.
