Advanced Animation and Rendering Techniques by Alan Watt and Mark Watt

Theory and Practice Dealing with state-of-the-art techniques in rendering and animation, this text provides a unique synthesis of advanced techniques not previously available in one coherent source.  Three-dimensional computer graphics and animation are now used extensively in may fields from fantasy and entertainment to science and medicine. This book is a clear account to the foundations and state of the art techniques in this field. A clear account of graphics algorithms in sufficient detail for ease of implementation together with a comprehensive study of the underlying theoretical principles.  Case studies based on work commercially produced for television with code examples in C.  Extensive coverage of advanced animation techniques, particularly soft body animation, articulated structures and a detailed description of scripting techniques.  A colour section in which almost all the images have been produced by the authors using the techniques described in the book.
