Digital Rendering Engineering -- Vol. 2: Advanced Rendering
From Equations to Silicon.
While Volume 1 established the theoretical foundations of radiometry, BRDFs, and Monte Carlo integration, Digital Rendering Engineering, Vol. 2: The Hardware of Light delivers the definitive practical roadmap for enforcing those physical laws directly on modern GPU architectures.
Written for senior graphics programmers, rendering engineers, and engine architects, this advanced technical guide bridges the gap between rendering theory and real-world silicon execution. Learn the engineering principles required to build a highly optimized real-time path tracer from the ground up using DirectX 12 and Vulkan.
