A quote from the January 2003 <a href="http://www.gdmag.com"><I>Game Developer</I></a> issue's awards article:<BR>
<I>"I can't think of any higher praise for a book than the fact that it's
always on my desk and within easy reach, and Real-Time Rendering, 2nd
Edition is one of the few books that qualifies for that distinction.
Real-Time Rendering provides thorough coverage of the current state of
the art in real-time graphics, as well as case studies, appendices to
help brush up your math skills, and a voluminous source bibliography.
There's no doubt that this is a must-have volume for any graphics
programmer."
