Introduction -- Basic of Real-Time Rendering -- Architecture of Real-Time Rendering Engine -- Visibility Culling -- Simplification and Level of Details -- Shading and Texture Mapping -- Shadow Generation -- Optimal Representation and Rendering Techniques for Large-scale Objects -- Case Study.

"Real-Time Graphics Rendering Engine" reveals the software architecture of the modern real-time 3D graphics rendering engine and the relevant technologies based on the authors’ experience developing this high-performance, real-time system. The relevant knowledge about real-time graphics rendering such as the rendering pipeline, the visual appearance and shading and lighting models are also introduced. This book is intended to offer well-founded guidance for researchers and developers who are interested in building their own rendering engines.
