本书面向学生、研究人员和从业人员，介绍计算机图形学的许多重要概念和思想。其中一些概念读者并不陌生，它们早已出现在广为流行的学术出版物、技术报告、教科书和行业报刊中。在某个概念出现一段时间后再将其写入教科书的好处是，人们可以更充分地理解它的长远影响并将其置于一个更大的背景中予以领悟。本书将尽可能详细地介绍这些概念（当然也略过了一些曾经火热但现在已不再重要的概念），并以一种清晰、流畅的风格将它们呈现给初学者。 本书属于第二代图形学教科书：我们并不将之前的所有工作全部认定为天然合理的，而是按今天的理解重新审视它们，进而更新其原有的陈述方式。 甚至一些最基本的问题也可能变得非常棘手。举例来说，假如要设计一个适用于低光照环境（如电影院的暗环境）的程序。显然，我们不能采用亮屏幕显示器，这意味着在显示程序中采用亮度对比来区分环境中的不同对象不再适宜。也许可以改用彩...(展开全部)
