Jeremy Birn, George Maestri · CERN Document Server (European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2006
Using computer graphic and 3-D tools to create accurate images is easy, using them to produce beautiful, inviting, memorable images requires more than technical skill. [digital] Lighting & Rendering introduces reasons and techniques for using light, shadow, texture, and composition. The book is not software-specific, but demonstrates techniques that are applicable to almost any 3-D graphics application.
