Digital Rendering Engineering -- Vol. 1: Physics of Light
Light does not negotiate.
The knowledge for production-quality rendering is scattered across SIGGRAPH papers, GDC slides, and Discord servers. This book consolidates it — with the correct mathematics and working HLSL.
Digital Rendering Engineering: The Physics of Light is not an introduction. It is a reference manual for Senior Graphics Programmers, VFX Technical Directors, and R&D Engineers who already implement BRDFs and need the physics to be correct, not approximate.
