Through a method known as 'literate programming', the authors combine human-readable documentation and source code into a single reference that is specifically designed to aid comprehension. The result is a stunning achievement in graphics education. Through the ideas and software in this book, users will learn to design and employ a fully-featured rendering system for creating stunning imagery. This completely updated and revised edition includes new coverage on ray-tracing hair and curves primitives, numerical precision issues with ray tracing, LBVHs, realistic camera models, the measurement equation, and much more. It is a must-have, full color resource on physically-based rendering. Presents up-to-date revisions of the seminal reference on rendering, including new sections on bidirectional path tracing, numerical robustness issues in ray tracing, realistic camera models, and subsurface scattering Provides the source code for a complete rendering system allowing readers to get up and running fast Includes a unique indexing feature, literate programming, that lists the locations of each function, variable, and method on the page where they are first described Serves as an essential resource on physically-based rendering Review: Happy with purchase - I haven't read the entire book but so far it appears to be a week thought out and thorough resource. Review: Absolute classic, can't name other book which could compete with this one - Was happy reader of 1st edition of this book, this time decided to buy kindle edition, because this one do not only replaces all other books on this subject, but in a paper form could replace gym too. About the book itself - buy it, don't think. Frederick Brooks said once that the programming code is the best way to say what the program is doing, but this book written in English and on pseudo-code, understandable enough for inquiring non programmer reader. There is many angry reviews about printing quality. Kindle edition is a little bit blurry and looks more like pdf book when you read it in Kindle (no scaling, no page fit). But I use 12 inches iPad, so it's not a big problem, however... Just warning. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #245,810 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #13 in Rendering & Ray Tracing #25 in 3D Graphic Design #90 in Computer Graphics | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 80 Reviews | ## Images ![Physically Based Rendering: From Theory to Implementation - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614B4dIbfwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Happy with purchase *by H***W on September 23, 2020* I haven't read the entire book but so far it appears to be a week thought out and thorough resource. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolute classic, can't name other book which could compete with this one *by I***M on January 15, 2018* Was happy reader of 1st edition of this book, this time decided to buy kindle edition, because this one do not only replaces all other books on this subject, but in a paper form could replace gym too.
