This is a follow-up volume to the 1990 Graphics Gems. Graphic Gems II contains over seventy new gems - computer graphics programming techniques and insights, contributed by professional graphics programmers - on many of the same topics covered in Graphics Gems (ray tracing, rendering, image processing and curves and surfaces), including a new section on radiosity. Many of the gems contain public domain implementations in the C language which are complete and ready-to-run. Although the book refers to Graphics Gems, Graphics Gems II is self-contained, discrete reference on computer graphics.
