View cover . BibTeX entry . Search site and resources, such as the Advances in Real-Time Rendering course notes: The red betta fish in our website's banner is by Elinor Quittner , and can be viewed in 3D . The Amazon "Look inside" link and the free Kindle sample includes around the first 80 pages of the book, including the first three chapters. The Bibliography is available online with links to the entries. The Table of Contents , Preface , the Introduction , Bibliography , and Index are available in a PDF . You can also view the Table of Contents below . Two chapters and two appendices are available only online, for free: Collision Detection - The 3rd edition's chapter on this subject has been fully updated, but could not fit in the bounds of the physical book, so we offer it here, along with its hyperlinked bibliography . Real-Time Ray Tracing - API support for this area was announced in March 2018 , too late for inclusion in the book, so we wrote an additional chapter about the subject as a whole. Its hyperlinked bibliography is available. Appendices - The two appendices, Some Linear Algebra and Trigonometry , also had to be cut from the physical book. They have both been updated (a small bit) from the 3rd edition. The hyperlinked bibliography is also available. We talk more about changes in this new edition on our blog. Information about the previous, third edition of this book can be found here . Other pages and resources hosted here: A blog about new developments and our own explorations in the field. We're also on Twitter : Tomas , Eric , Naty , Angelo , Micha&lstrok , and Sébastien . The bibliography of the book, with hyperlinked resources (the Third Second , and First Edition bibliographies are also available). The book corrections area (for all editions). A gallery of over 400 of the 676 figures in the fourth edition, provided for Fair Use . Read the information there and our blog for more details. A portal page for key real-time web resources. Our book recommendation list for real-time computer graphics; we would appreciate your comments. The object/object intersection page for information on 3D object intersections. Tomas' Powerpoint slides for a semester's course derived from the second edition of book. Dated in spots, but useful as a place to start. The 3rd Edition resources page has been kept around just in case. This page is no longer maintained, so expect dead links and stale information. Much of this site is on Github , if you want to submit any fixes. Table of Contents The rest of this page is dedicated to providing information related to the book's contents: new techniques, worthwhile websites, etc. This page is organized into categories based on the table of contents. We also have a portal page that is an extremely condensed set of some of the best links available, as well as API-specific resources.
