Hollywood is going 3D Join the revolution with this primer to all of the essential skills for live action 3D, from preproduction through distribution.
3D perception and science is presented in an accessible way that provides the principles of Stereoscopic vision you need to make the transition from the 2D world. Tools of the trade are enumerated with an eye on current constraints and what is coming down the pike to smooth the way. Step-by-step instructions detail how 3D processes affect every stage of the production including screenwriting, art direction, principle photography,...

Taking a novel, easily accessible approach, this book presents an easy-to-read introduction to computer graphics and geometric modeling. Emphasizing high-level algorithms, it focuses on standard graphics, modeling, and mathematical methods, including ray tracing, polygon shading, radiosity, fractals, freeform curves and surfaces, vector methods, and transformation techniques. The author begins with fractals first rather than typical line drawing algorithms and also brings back the turtle from obscurity to introduce several major concepts in computer graphics. The text includes many...

Video Compression and Communications has been updated and condensed yet remains all-encompassing, giving a comprehensive overview of the subject. Covering compression issues, coding delay, implementational complexity and bitrate, the book also looks at the...

Foundation ActionScript 3.0 Image Effects discusses the ins and outs of graphical manipulation through code of all the different elements available in a Flash project, from vectors to bitmaps to videos, from animated text effects to dynamic video filters. Flash 8 introduced a vast array of image features, such as blend modes and filters as well as ActionScript's powerful BitmapData object, and this book covers all those effects in their CS4 form, as well as the graphical options that are available, such as the Pixel Bender Toolkit. It also details the many possible effects that...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Computer Vision Systems, ICVS 2003, held in Graz, Austria, in April 2003.
