The major release\u00a0has been a new edition of <a href=\"http:\/\/smile.amazon.com\/Computer-Graphics-Principles-Practice-3rd\/dp\/0321399528?tag=realtimerenderin\">Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice<\/a>. There was also <a href=\"http:\/\/smile.amazon.com\/CUDA-Handbook-Comprehensive-Guide-Programming\/dp\/0321809467?tag=realtimerenderin\">The CUDA Handbook<\/a>, which is somewhat graphics related but not strictly so. I also included <a href=\"http:\/\/smile.amazon.com\/HDRI-Handbook-2-0-Dynamic-Photographers\/dp\/1937538168?tag=realtimerenderin\">The HDRI Handbook<\/a>; even though it&#8217;s more a user&#8217;s guide, it does have some good bits about the theory of tone mapping and much else, in an area that can use more coverage. I don&#8217;t bother listing the many books about\u00a0Unity 3D, the Unreal Engine, etc., since those truly fall in the area of guides.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, that&#8217;s all until SIGGRAPH, when I can take a look at what else is out there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent an inordinate amount of time just updating the books page at this site.
