	Mad Physics :: Designing and Rendering Computer Graphics
		Computer graphics are based on mathematical concepts such as geometry and vectors.
		The final stage of animating is setting up a scene to “render.” When you render a scene, your computer calculates how the objects you’ve made should actually look.
		Rendering a scene can take seconds or hours, depending on the complexity of your scene.

	Computer graphics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Computer graphics (CG) is the field of visual computing, where one utilizes computers both to generate visual images synthetically and to integrate or alter visual and spatial information sampled from the real world.
		Perhaps the first use of computer graphics specifically to illustrate computer graphics was in Futureworld (1976), which included an animation of a human face and hand--produced by Ed Catmull and Fred Parke at the University of Utah.
		Raster graphics is a uniform 2-dimensional grid of pixels.

	Rendering (computer graphics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is one of the major sub-topics of 3D computer graphics, and in practice always connected to the others.
		In the case of 3D graphics, rendering may be done slowly, as in pre-rendering, or in real time.
		Rendering research is concerned with both the adaptation of scientific models and their efficient application.

	Graphics - Home
		Rendering refers to the process of adding shadows and variations in color and shading to add realism to computer-based images.
		The Graphics group has developed a technique to render complex three-dimensional scenes by developing a representation that lies in between an image and a 3-D model.
		We are working on efficient rendering by clipping the rendering of coarse geometry to the exact silhouette of the original model.

	CMPUT 611: Advanced Computer Graphics
		This course will survey recent rendering techniques in computer graphics as well as fundamental and classical topics that are not usually covered in an undergraduate computer graphics course.
		Topics include: the object orientation of the graphics pipeline and scene graphs, analytical methods in graphics and the implementation of robust geometric algorithms, a survey of both photorealistic and non-photorealistic rendering, as well as recent texture synthesis methods and a survey of the different morphing methods.
		The ultimate objective in computer graphics for a long time was to produce photo-realistic images, or images that "pass the Turing test" in the sense of fooling the observer into believing that they are not synthetic.

	Geometry in Action: Graphics
		Specialized applications of graphics in which other geometric ideas are needed include architecture, virtual reality, and video game programming.
		This area is also related to mesh generation in several ways: both fields use triangulation algorithms to partition complex surfaces into simpler pieces, and radiosity calculations in graphics are essentially a special case of the finite element method.
		Patent 5222201 also concerns octree graphics methods, and describes a heuristic for speeding up the conversion of objects into octree representations.

		This assertion that computer graphics had finally arrived was made before the revolution in computer culture sparked by Apple's Macintosh and the IBM PC and its clones.
		Better graphics software has been used to make dramatic improvements in the "look and feel" of user interfaces, and we may expect increasing use of 3D effects, both for aesthetic reasons and for providing new metaphors for organizing and presenting, and navigating through information.
		Thus graphics is increasingly concerned with simulation, animation, and a "back to physics" movement in both modeling and rendering in order to create objects that look and behave as realistically as possible.

		One last method of making computer animations is to use transitions and other special effects like morphing to modify existing images and video.
		Computer graphics are any types of images created using any kind of computer.
		Images created by computers can be very simple, such as lines and circles, or extremly complex such as fractals and complicated rendered animations.

	Andrew Glassner's Computer Graphics Page
		Often the colors computed in a synthetic image cannot be displayed by a specific device, which means the image must be distorted.
		This book is directed to hobbyists and anyone else interested in computer graphics and interesting applications and ideas relating to the field.
		I believe that computer graphics rendering is woven together from three fields: human perception, digital signal processing, and the physics of light.

		Over the course of 16 sections, Watt introduces the concepts and implementation of computer imaging, from "Mathematical Fundamentals of Computer Graphics" to "Representation and Rendering" and ending with "Image-Based Rendering and Photo-Modeling." The last section, devoted to computer animation, includes methods for linked structures, collision detection, and particle animation (to name a few).
		Traditionally computer graphics has created pictures by starting with a very detailed geometric description, subjecting this to a series of transformations that orient a viewer and objects in 3D space, then imitating reality by making the objects look solid and real - a process known as rendering.
		It was one of the first three graphics programming books I bought during the same early career book shopping session, it was definately the most useful of the three and it's stayed with me ever since, where other books have been and gone.

	Inverse Rendering for Computer Graphics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Creating realistic images has been a major focus in the study of computer graphics for much of its history.
		This effort has led to mathematical models and algorithms that can compute predictive, or physically realistic, images from known camera positions and scene descriptions that include the geometry of objects, the reflectance of surfaces, and the lighting used to illuminate the scene.
		The second two inverse rendering problems solve for unknown reflectance, given images with known geometry, lighting, and camera positions.
