Rendering with Radiance

The Radiance Lighting Simulation and Rendering System has developed from a powerful but esoteric lighting design research tool to a highly sophisticated lighting visualization system that offers every rendering function from object modeling to point calculation display. This text is accompanied by a CD-ROM containing the complete source code and documentation for the Radiance UNIX suite. In addition to teaching how to use the software, it includes five application chapters and extensive coverage of the underlying calculation methods.
