Longer render times for increasingly complex images effectively cap image complexity, or else stretch budgets and schedules to the breaking point.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eComprised of contributions from leaders in the development and application of this technology, \u003ci\u003ePoint-Based Graphics\u003c\/i\u003e examines it from all angles, beginning with the way in which the latest photographic and scanning devices have enabled modeling based on true geometry, rather than appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom there, it's on to the methods themselves. Even though point-based graphics is in its infancy, practitioners have already established many effective, economical techniques for achieving all the major effects associated with traditional 3D Modeling and rendering. You'll learn to apply these techniques, and you'll also learn how to create your own. The final chapter demonstrates how to do this using Pointshop3D, an open-source tool for developing new point-based algorithms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Markus Gross\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0123706041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780123706041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Morgan Kaufmann Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.48h x 7.82w x 1.30d","brand":"Markus Gross","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44212955480319,"sku":"9780123706041","price":95.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1bbedce5-53cf-4f00-ab1d-8fe5c07c61fa.jpg?v=1692111227","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/point-based-graphics-with-cdrom-markus-gross-9780123706041","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
