Rendering With Radiance The Art and Science of Lighting Visualization - Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Graphics and Geometric Modeling Author:Greg Ward Larson, Rob Shakespeare The Radiance Lighting Simulation and Rendering System is a unique suite of lighting-visualization programs that is capable of true photo-quality light simulation for existing, imagined, or reconstructed scenes. The potential benefits of this facility to computer graphics practitioners, illumination engineers, and designers are enormous, and this... more » unique book makes these benefits accessible by providing a comprehensive tutorial and reference for Radiance.
* A graduated set of tutorials introduces the new user slowly while allowing the more advanced user to immediately begin at the appropriate level.
* Five Radiance experts provide extensive example applications in lighting analysis, daylight simulation, animation, roadway lighting, theatre lighting, and exterior lighting, with many full color illustrations.
* Advanced chapters detail the actual calculation methods Radiance uses for local and global illumination.
Whether the task is to render production-quality animations, design a museum gallery, or present an accurate facsimile of a site in court, Rendering with Radiance is an invaluable resource.« less
