Thanks for the tip about “Production Rendering”. Searching around, you’re correct: it first came out in 2004, http://www.amazon.com/Production-Rendering-Ian-Stephenson/dp/1852338210. What fooled me is that Amazon’s new page, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1849969299, says “1st Edition. edition (November 5, 2010)” – well, that ain’t right. I’ve modified the original post.

Still waiting for “C++ Concurrency in Action” to come out:

Production Rendering is actually a few years old, unless there’s a new edition I haven’t heard of. It’s basically a book on implementing a RenderMan renderer. Early chapters are on implementing REYES, while later ones get into things like adding photon mapping.
