Digital Lighting & Rendering
 |
Description
Book Introduction
Meet the bible that sets the standard for 3D lighting and rendering techniques!
If you work in the CG field, you've probably heard of this book at least once.
This book covers lighting and rendering techniques for achieving professional, realistic lighting, shadows, and textures, regardless of software.
It is known as a standard textbook and bible in the relevant field, and its contents have been cited by many practitioners, knowingly or unknowingly.
This book, which explains the understanding of the surroundings and objects in relation to CG, is closer to a theory book than a technique book that focuses on programs.
However, it broadens your perspective on the work by explaining all elements of 3D graphics in a practical way, including sophisticated compositing, advanced rendering techniques, how to express camera properties, color implementation principles, structure, cinematography, and even the studio's production pipeline.
It's packed with fascinating topics that you won't want to skip a single page, and it's packed with the author's incredible insights and foresight, gleaned from his experience at Pixar Animation Studios.
This book will help beginners who are just starting out in CG build a solid foundation in digital lighting and rendering, while practical lighting workers will be able to keep it close by and fill in any gaps.
Between the ever-evolving state-of-the-art 3D techniques and the ever-changing principles that remain essential, this book will serve as a valuable guide.

Reviewer's note
If you work in CG, you've probably heard of this book at least once.
This book is a revised and expanded edition of 'Digital Lighting and Rendering' published in 2000.
The first book has already become the standard textbook and bible for 3D lighting and rendering techniques.
This revised edition reflects technological advances over time, with each chapter updated and many new techniques and concepts added.
Every page covers fascinating topics that you won't want to skip, and it's packed with the author's incredible insights and foresight, gleaned from his experience working at Pixar Animation Studios.
As this book is so famous and contains a wealth of information in various fields, it will be an opportunity for beginners who are just starting out with CG to build a solid foundation in digital lighting and rendering, and for practical lighting workers, it will be a good guidebook to keep by their side and fill in any gaps.
