Every wonder how MojoWorld, Bryce, Vue, Terragen, etc., work? This book tells you how.It's got chapters for artists and chapters for hard-core programmers--it's kind of all over the place. :-)
Check out what Pay Hanrahan, Canon USA Professor of Computer Science at Stanford, says in the Foreword:
"The authors are the key inventors of the technology and some of the most creative individuals I know. This book has always been my favorite computer graphics book, and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I have."
I was stunned when I read that!
Amazon.com has an introductory price of $55.97, a good discount off the list price of $74.95. I get, like, $0.50 for every compy that sells. ;-) "It's a labor of love."
This edition has color throughout, and is up to 687 pages. It's beautiful and fairly compendious.
Id you want to know how these programs work, this is your source. Enjoy!
