Computer graphics systems are capable of generating stunningly
realistic images of objects that have never physically existed. In
order for computers to create these accurately detailed images,
digital models of appearance must include robust data to give
viewers a credible visual impression of the depicted materials. In
particular, digital models demonstrating the nuances of how
materials interact with light are essential to this capability.
This is the first comprehensive work on the digital modeling of
material appearance: it explains how models from physics and
engineering are combined with keen observation skills for use in
computer graphics rendering.
Written by the foremost experts in appearance modeling and
rendering, this book is for practitioners who want a general
framework for understanding material modeling tools, and also for
researchers pursuing the development of new modeling techniques.
The text is not a "how to" guide for a particular software system.
Instead, it provides a thorough discussion of foundations and
detailed coverage of key advances.
Practitioners and researchers in applications such as architecture,
theater, product development, cultural heritage documentation,
visual simulation and training, as well as traditional digital
application areas such as feature film, television, and computer
games, will benefit from this much needed resource.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Julie Dorsey and Holly Rushmeier are professors in the Computer
Science Department at Yale University and co-directors of the Yale
Computer Graphics Group. Francois Sillion is a senior researcher
with INRIA (Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et
Automatique), and director of its Grenoble Rhone-Alpes research
center.
* First comprehensive treatment of the digital modeling of material
appearance;
* Provides a foundation for modeling appearance, based on the
physics of how light interacts with materials, how people perceive
appearance, and the implications of rendering appearance on a
digital computer;
* An invaluable, one-stop resource for practitioners and
researchers in a variety of fields dealing with the digital
modeling of material appearance."
