SYNOPSIS
The creation of realistic 3-D images is one of the most powerful applications of Computer Graphics. The Ray Tracing technique has quickly become one of the most popular approaches to creating synthetic images. The algorithm is simple, elegant, and easily implemented by the professional and novice programmer alike. Ray Tracing is a powerful tool both for understanding image rendering, and for creating new pictures. An Introduction to Ray Tracing begins with the basic ideas of ray tracing, and builds to a survey of the state-of-the-art in efficient implementations. Along the way the book covers the basic algorithms in depth and reviews important material from surface physics, the geometry of shapes and surfaces, and a detailed analysis of the intersection routines at the heart of every ray tracing program. The book is heavily illustrated with color and black-and-white figures. This book will be welcomed by anyone interested in the art and science of creating realistic 3-D computer graphics for applications ranging from science to art. ABOUT THE AUTHOR
