Piegl Les A., Tiller Wayne. The NURBS Book

Издательство New Riders, 2006, -406 pp. To help you make better 3D renderings, this book fuses information from several fields. In these pages you will find concepts and techniques from professional cinematography, design principles from traditional visual arts, practical advice based on professional film production experience, and plain-English explanations of the latest science behind the scenes. You should read this book when you have at leas...

A K Peters Ltd., Wellesley, MA, 2008, 219 Pages This book is designed to give the reader a practical introduction to fluid simulation for graphics. The field of fluid dynamics, even just in animation, is vast and so not every topic will be covered, and many wonderful papers will sadly be passed over in the hope of distilling the essentials; this is far from a thorough survey. The focus of this book is animating fully three-dimensional incompressi...

Издательство Morgan Kaufmann, 1999, -383 pp. This book is about creating images. It will discuss a number of different tools that can be used to create these images, but it is not a book about tools. In the years that I have been involved with the field of digital compositing, there have been dramatic increases in the power and flexibility of the tools that are available. But the basic concepts have remained the same, and this will most likely c...

Издательство Academic Press, 1991, -351 pp. This is a book about computer graphics, and the creation of realistic images. By ‘realistic' we mean an image that is indistinguishable from a photograph of a real, three-dimensional scene. Of the many computer techniques that have been developed to create images, perhaps the algorithm called 'ray tracing' is now the most popular for many applications. Part of the beauty of ray tracing is its extreme s...

Издательство Academic Press, 1995, -449 pp. As with previous volumes of the Graphics Gems series, this book ultimately serves a number of purposes. First, it provides a recognized, moderated forum of computer graphics dialogue, allowing emerging techniques to come to light before a large audience. Where possible, it places evolving methods within their historical context through its choice of entries and through interactions between the technica...

Sрringеr-Verlag, 2008. - 272 pages. This book is about computer graphics; it is not about computer graphics applications. In this book, you will learn the meaning and usage of computer graphics tools and terminology, but more importantly, the basic observation skills needed to do something great with that knowledge. This issue is an application-independent, reader-friendly primer for anyone with a serious desire to understand 3D Computer Graphi...

Издательство Morgan Kaufmann, 2001, -343 pp. NonUniform Rational B-Splines, or NURBS, grew out of the pioneering work of Pierre B?zier's development of B?zier curves and surfaces in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Because of their increased power and flexibility, B-spline curves and surfaces rapidly followed. Rational and nonuniform rational B-spline curves and surfaces added both greater flexibility and precision. Especially important is the ab...

Springer, 2007. - 350 pages. This book covers Curve Modeling with solutions to real life problems relating to Computer Graphics, Vision, Image Processing, Geometric Modeling and CAD/CAM. Chapters deal with basic concepts, curve design techniques and their use to various applications and a wide range of problems with their automated solutions through computers. The book provides an invaluable resource which focuses on interdisciplinary methods an...
