Akenine-Möller Tomas, Haines Eric, Hoffman Naty. Real-Time Rendering

Third Edition
CRC Press, 2008, 1045 p.
International Standard Book Number-13: 978-1-4398-6529-3 (eBook - PDF)Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of programmable shaders, a wide variety of new algorithms have arisen and evolved over the past few years. This edition discusses current, paractical rendering methods used in games and other applications. It also presents a solid theoretical framework and relevant mathematics for the field of interactive computer graphics, all in an approachable style.Contents Overview
