I can't wait to add a copy to my own graphics library.'ĭana Batali, Director of RenderMan Development, Pixar Animation Studios Saty's experience as both RenderMan practitioner and RenderMan teacher gives him a unique and valuable perspective.

#RENDERMAN BOOKS FOR FREE#

You can learn quite a bit for free online if you just know what to search for.Įdit: Advanced Global Illumination is a great book, also.'Rendering for Beginners is bound to become a must-read for anyone interested in Pixar's RenderMan. Feel free to PM me if you have any further questions. If you'd like some lecture notes and coursework on the topic, check out the 6.837 course on OCW here. They are somewhat biased towards interactive ray tracing as that was my primary interest, but they will likely lead you down the right path. Googling any of the names I mentioned in this post will likely lead to more rendering resources than you can shake a stick at. Most of their work in this field is documented online. If you're interested in pushing the performance envelope with interactive ray tracing, Intel and IBM both have teams dedicated to making photo-realistic rendering faster and even real time (see work by Alex Reshetov, Alexei Supikov, Ingo Wald, and Daniel Pohl at Intel, and Barry Minor, Mark Nutter, Joaquin Madruga, and Brian Sweatt at IBM). Peter Shirley, Henrik Wann Jensen, Matt Pharr, and Ingo Wald all have serious pages like this with tons of papers on rendering.

Professors and even corporate researchers usually have pages where they list papers they have authored - these pages are gold mines. Once you get a decent base in realistic (and not usually interactive) rendering, books aren't as necessary just read papers from SIGGRAPH and Eurographics - almost all are available online somewhere. Physically Based Rendering is a great book for getting into more advanced topics. Please share any knowledge or advice you can give for this motivated self-learner. Oh and I understand learning this much is likely a huge amount to tackle, but even if I fall short, I will have learned quite a bit. I know how to write a basic ray tracer and I'm definitely not afraid of math (If I was, graphics would NOT be on my radar.), though I'm not very good at it right now, so essential math texts would be greatly appreciated. However, I don't really know where to look beyond the essential Computer Graphics texts. I'm trying to assemble a reading list to dive into the field myself. I'm an undergraduate very interested in computer graphics, but lacking in resources and mentors since I attend a very good liberal arts uni with a small CS department with no one really into graphics. (That was mild sarcasm as I'm actually studying for a Programming Languages exam, but that's neither here nor there.) Hello Proggit, hope you're having a fine morning as I am.
