Springer Rendering Techniques '98 - Eurographics Workshop

Explore advanced research in computer graphics with Rendering Techniques '98. This volume contains the proceedings from the Eurographics Workshop held in Vienna, Austria, from June 29 to July 1, 1998. Published by Springer, this collection focuses on significant developments in realistic rendering techniques that shaped the field. Readers will find detailed studies on image-based rendering, covering real-world model acquisition, display, and illumination techniques. The text also addresses efficient ways to parameterize and compress images or light fields. Additionally, the volume explores the use of texture and compositing hardware for image warping and 3D surface textures. This book serves as a technical resource for understanding the evolution of global and local-illumination calculations. It provides a deep look into the methodologies used for efficient light calculations and model acquisition, making it a valuable reference for those studying the history and development of graphic arts and rendering technology.
