Résumé

This volume is a practical introduction to producing images using a RenderMan renderer, and getting the most from RenderMan. You will gain access to the power of RenderMan, which has previously only been available to the elite of the Computer Graphics community! With plenty of illustrations and hands-on examples, Ian Stephenson: gives an overview of RenderMan; explains how scenes are described; illustrates (among other things) how to create surfaces, color, lighting, shadows, and depth of field, using RIB and the C API; introduces the techniques involved in creating and applying textures and shading.
