Inhaltsangabe
Computer graphics is a vast field that is becoming larger every day. It is impossible to cover every topic of interest, even within a specialization such as CG rendering. For many years, Noriko Kurachi has reported on the latest developments for Japanese readers in her monthly column for CG World. Being something of a pioneer herself, she selected topics that represented original and promising new directions for research. Many of these novel ideas are the topics covered in The Magic of Computer Graphics.
Starting from the basic behavior of light, the first section of the book introduces the most useful techniques for global and local illumination using geometric descriptions of an environment. The second section goes on to describe image-based techniques that rely on captured data to do their magic. In the final section, the author looks at the synthesis of these two complementary approaches and what they mean for the future of computer graphics.

Von der hinteren Coverseite
In broad terms, computer graphics (CG) is the use of computers to create images. CG has come to be the dominant form of content creation for video games, movie special effects, and many other forms of entertainment. One of the principal things CG does for creatives is to free them from the bounds of what can be held in front of a camera. From the standpoint of a naïve observer, CG really is magic. Vision is entwined with our sense of reality, “seeing is believing” as they say, and when the line between physical experience and imagination is crossed, there is simply no other word for it.Computer graphics is a vast field, and getting larger every day. It is impossible to cover every topic of interest, even within a specialization such as CG rendering. For many years, Noriko Kurachi has reported on the latest developments for Japanese readers in her monthly column for Computer Graphics World. Being something of a pioneer herself, she selected topics that represented original and promising new directions for research, as opposed to the tried and true methods. Many of these novel ideas paid off handsomely, and these are the topics covered in this book.Starting from the basic behavior of light, Ms. Kurachi introduces the most useful techniques for global and local illumination using geometric descriptions of an environment in the first section. She then goes on to describe image-based techniques that rely on captured data to do their magic in the second section.
