more rehashed material
A very large let down as it consisted of more rehashed material like Bill's previous books. Very little here that has not been already printed in various magazine articles, and more of Bill's trademarked
derivitives of others works.

Save your money.

A good book for outsiders
I am not a 3D artists, but I like to keep up on technologies. I found this to be a very good book for casual readers. The author did a good job introducing terms and techniques used in 3D rendering. I would recommend it highly to people who are wanting to learn a little bit about the art. I enjoyed the fact that the book was not simply a tutorial for one particular graphics product.

If you are a casual reader who is interested in learning how they make 3D worlds...this would be a good book to read.

(BTW, the very first sentence of the book is wrong. Three 3D graphics field did not start in 1985...but in ancient times. Euclid wrote about optics, and others were interested in the field before him.)
