Photorealistic rendering techniques

the long version

This book presents the most recent advances and trends in the field of computer generated photo-realistic rendering. It contains 28 selected international contributions presented at the Fifth Eurographics Workshop on Rendering, held in Darmstadt, Germany, in June 1994. After more than 20 years of development, rendering of realistic images remains an interesting and challenging field. The book covers a wide spectrum of topics including not only the "classics" such as radiosity, ray tracing, meshing and sampling, Monte Carlo, and viewing solutions, but also new areas of increasing interest, such as participating media, dynamic solutions and walkthroughs, and wavelets.
