A while back, I asked for references on ray tracing. Well, below is
the most complete reponse that I received. Sorry for the length, but
I didn't want to edit anything out. I want to thank Cary for this list, and
all those that responded to my posting. BTW, even though I do attend
Cornell (The Home of D Greenberg), I am an undergraduate and not high on the
list of priorities of some reseachers (actually the PCG is rather friendly
but some other departments here are VERY cold to undergrads).
------------
Strange request considering where you are presently going to school
you have Don Greenberg and his minions producing state-of-the-art
image synthesis work. Anyway, I can give you (below) a slightly
out-of-date, work-in-progess taxonomy and reference list for your
reading pleasure. See the reference named [ROGE85] for a good
background covering the basics. This is copyrighted material,
which means you can use it for your own research purposes and
for no other reason. If this is not agreeable to you, then hit
'n' now.
