Synopsis
This text offers a comprehensive treatment of computer graphics. It provides the fundamental mathematics used in graphics programs and covers the basics of graphics pipeline, BSP trees and ray tracing. The volume addresses a wide range of advanced topics, including NURBS, animation, colour science, global illumination, subdivision surfaces, virtual reality, visualization and others. The author provides enough detail to implement the ideas presented; the mathematics in the book stress a geometric point of view and are oriented toward clean implementation. Each chapter contains a set of exercises and references for further reading. The intended audience for this work are programmers with an undergraduate-level background in mathematics. "Computer Graphics" is suitable for one- or two-semester courses or for practitioners as a reference. No particular computer language or API is assumed; the book covers the material in a manner that should allow readers to quickly understand implementations in APIs such as OpenGL, Java3D and Direct 3D.
