Shelving category: Computer GraphicsComputer Graphics and Virtual EnvironmentsFrom Realism to Real-TimeMel Slater, Anthony Steed, Yiorgos ChrysanthouReal-time virtual environments (VEs) are playing a fundamental part in the communications revolution. We can already watch news presented by virtual newscasters and play first-person 3D graphically based games with other players distributed around the world. Computer graphics is driving the technology for VEs, but the need for real-time is in conflict with the quest for increasing realism. This book shows how a real-time graphics system can be built using a top down approach to enhance understanding. It begins with high-level descriptions of perceptual and lighting issues relating to VEs, but quickly becomes more practical, showing how ray tracing can be used to produce high-quality images. Relaxing the assumptions of ray tracing, chapter by chapter, produces a system for generating 3D images in real-time or, in other words, the rendering pipeline of a graphics system.The book is intended for undergraduates or postgraduates studying computer graphics or the visual aspects of VEs. It aims to give students practical knowledge of the fu
