DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe goal of image synthesis is to create, using the computer, a visual experience that is identical to what a viewer would experience when viewing a real environment. Radiosity and Realistic Image Synthesis offers the first comprehensive look at the radiosity method for image synthesis and the tools required to approach this elusive goal. Basic concepts and mathematical fundamentals underlying image synthesis and radiosity algorithms are covered thoroughly. (A basic knowledge of undergraduate calculus is assumed). The algorithms that have been developed to implement the radiosity method ranging from environment subdivision to final display are discussed. Successes and difficulties in implementing and using these algorithms are highlighted. Extensions to the basic radiosity method to include glossy surfaces, fog or smoke, and realistic light sources are also described. There are 16 pages of full colour images and over 100 illustrations to explain the development and show the results of the radiosity method. Results of applications of this new technology from a variety of fields are also included. Michael Cohen has worked in the area of realistic image synthesis since 1983 and was instrumental in the development of the radiosity method. He is currently an assistant professor of computer science at Princeton University. John Wallace is a software engineer at 3D/EYE, Inc., where he is the project leader for the development of Hewlett-Packard's ATRCore radiosity and ray tracing library. A chapter on the basic concepts of image synthesis is contributed by Patrick Hanrahan. He has worked on the topic of image synthesis at Pixar, where he was instrumental in the development of the Renderman software. He has also led research on the hierarchical methods at Princeton University, where he is an associate professor of computer science. All three authors have written numerous articles on radiosity that have appeared in the SIGGAPH proceedings and elsewhere. They have also taught the SIGGRAPH course on radiosity for 5 years. The first comprehensive book written about radiosity Features applications from the fields of computer graphics, architecture, industrial design, and related computer aided design technologies Offers over 100 illustrations and 16 pages of full-color images demonstrating the results of radiosity methods Contains a chapter authored by Pat Hanrahan on the basic concepts of image synthesis and a foreword by Donald Greenberg

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOnce the exclusive domain of a handful of academic researchers working with high-powered graphics workstations, now you can use radiosity to create extremely realistic, true-color images using off-the-shelf personal computers. Radiosity offers the ability to accurately render diffuse reflections, color bleeding between surfaces, realistic shadows, and detailed shading within shadows. More than this, it can create photorealistic images that are impossible to achieve using conventional ray tracing techniques. This book offers you a unique opportunity to explore this technology in depth.
