OverviewDrawing on an impressive roster of experts in the field, Fundamentals of Computer Graphics, Fifth Edition offers an ideal resource for computer course curricula as well as a user-friendly personal or professional reference. Focusing on geometric intuition, the book gives the necessary information for understanding how images get onto the screen by using the complementary approaches of ray tracing and rasterization. It covers topics common to an introductory course, such as sampling theory, texture mapping, spatial data structure, and splines. It also includes a number of contributed chapters from authors known for their expertise and clear way of explaining concepts. Highlights of the Fifth Edition Include: Major updates and improvements to numerous chapters, including shading, ray tracing, physics-based rendering, math and sampling Updated coverage of existing topics Several chapters have been absorbed and reworked to create a more natural flow to the book The fifth edition of Fundamentals of Computer Graphics continues to provide an outstanding and comprehensive introduction to basic computer graphic technology and theory. It retains an informal and intuitive style while improving precision, consistency, and completeness of material, allowing aspiring and experienced graphics programmers to better understand and apply foundational principles to the development of efficient code in animation, visual effects, games, visualization, advertising, and other applications Full Product DetailsAuthor: Steve Marschner (Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, USA) , Peter ShirleyPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd Imprint: Taylor & Francis Ltd Edition: 5th edition Weight: 1.860kg ISBN: 9781032122861ISBN 10: 1032122862 Pages: 700 Publication Date: 14 March 2023 Audience: College/higher education , General/trade , Tertiary & Higher Education , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Not yet available  This item is yet to be released.
