This is a follow-up volume to the 1990 "Graphics Gems". "Graphic Gems II" contains over seventy new "gems" - computer graphics programming techniques and insights, contributed by professional graphics programmers - on many of the same topics covered in "Graphics Gems" (ray tracing, rendering, image processing and curves and surfaces), including a new section on radiosity. Many of the gems contain public domain implementations in the C language which are complete and ready-to-run. Although the book refers to "Graphics Gems", "Graphics Gems II" is self-contained, discrete reference on computer graphics.

This review is from: Graphic Gems Package: Graphics Gems II (Graphics Gems - IBM) (No. 2) (Hardcover)
I'm the archivist for the free Graphics Gems code base on the web. I do it for free, because this code is so valuable. Others think so, too: there are 100 hits a day on average at the site. Go look at the online list of what's in this volume to see if it's for you.Highlights in this volume (for me - everyone's favorites vary) include an implementation of Perlin's noise function, a guide to quaternions, some useful C macros for vector ops (wonderfully short and clever), and view correlation.
