As computer generated images become more complex and beautiful, the technology behind
them has become more involved and harder to understand. Choosing the best graphics system
for your applications and needs can therefore be a daunting task. Fortunately help is at hand,
because the computer graphics technology leader on Windows NT - Intergraph Computer
Systems - has written a really great book that explains computer graphics technology in an
interesting and understandable way.

This book commences by introducing 2D bitmapped and vector graphics, and then moves on
to discuss 3D graphics concepts. These introductions are easy to understand and set the scene
for what is to come. As you will discover, the main portion of the book is occupied by an
extensive glossary, which covers everything from the different schemes for representing color
and translucency, to lighting, shading, texturing, and rendering.

In addition to the easy to understand text, the book is jam-packed with superb color graphics
that fully illustrate the important points behind each topic. The cover price of this 147 page book
is $49.95 US Dollars, but readers of EPE Online can purchase this extremely useful reference for only $9.99 (plus shipping & handling).
