The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson
This book is a collection of several tutorials from the EUROGRAPHICS '90 conference in Montreux. The conference was held under the motto IMAGES: Synthesis, Analysis and Interaction, and the tutorials, partly presented in this volume, reflect the conference theme. As such, this volume provides a unique collection of advanced texts on 'traditional' com- puter graphics as well as of tutorials on image processing and image reconstruction. As with all the volumes of the series Advances in Computer Graphics, the contributors are leading experts in their respective fields. The chapter Design and Display of Solid Models provides an extended introduction to interactive graphics techniques for design, fast display, and high-quality rendering of solid models. The text focuses on techniques for Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG). The follow- ing topics are treated in depth: interactive design techniques (specification of curves, surfaces and solids; graphical user interfaces; procedural languages and direct manipulation) and display techniques (depth-buffer, scan-line and ray-tracing techniques; CSG classification techniques; efficiency-improving methods; software and hardware implementations).
