i i i i Foreword There have been tremendous advances in the realism of computer-generated images over the last twenty years. This is the result of a great deal of research and is documented in thousands of technical papers. While this eﬀort has resulted in many algorithmic and mathematical tools, it has also resulted in a vast and somewhat impenetrable literature. This literature has conﬂicting terms, symbols, and often advocates approaches that are simply not practical. As a result, it is very diﬃcult for new people to “get up to speed” and begin developing software to generate realistic images. The most technical part of realistic image generation is dealing with “global illumination.” The word “global” refers to the fact that the appearance of an object depends on the light it receives from all other objects. So in this sense, computing lighting even at a single point requires computation using the entire model of the scene. While this might seem like overkill, the visual richness of an image created using a global illumination program is simply not possible with simpler local illumination programs. This book breaks down the barrier to entry and describes global illumi- nation concepts and algorithms from a modern viewpoint using consistent terms and symbols. While there are good books on speciﬁc global illumina- tion topics, this is the ﬁrst book to address global illumination techniques as a whole. The authors are ideal for such an ambitious project; they have a broad background in rendering and have done signiﬁcant research in all of the major global illumination topics. Most of the major theoretical advances in global illumination took place in the 1980s. These included the development of both radiosity and Monte Carlo ray tracing. In the 1990s, it became apparent that none of these algorithms were practical when applied in a straightforward manner. In that time, a more quiet revolution took place as techniques were developed vii i i i i
