Now that I’m back from SIGGRAPH, I can catch up on all the things. So here’s one: win a free copy of Real-Time Rendering, 4th Edition<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. Our publisher is giving away three copies, deadline to enter is August 31.<\/p>\n

As far as actually receiving<\/span><\/em> a copy of the book, well, if it’s any consolation, none of us authors have a physical copy at this point, either. Our publisher wrote on August 8th:<\/p>\n

This reprint should be in the warehouse within the next 3 weeks.\u00a0 I assume the fulfillment dept will give customer orders priority over author copies.<\/p>\n

So it’s a case of the shoemaker’s children go barefoot. Amazon says the book’s back in stock on August 27th.<\/p>\n

I do like that the first three chapters are free on Amazon<\/a>, for Kindle<\/a>, and Google Play<\/a>, so I hope that will tide people over until these ship. That this much content was made free was unexpected, a happy decision on the publisher’s part. If you’re done with those chapters and still waiting, don’t forget to read Pete’s now-free books on ray tracing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0got to see a physical copy of our book at SIGGRAPH, so know such things exist. I also bought the book on Kindle<\/a> (which at first had some download problem on my iPhone and PC, but downloaded fine the next day) and Google Play<\/a>\u00a0(surprised to find it there; same price as Kindle, by some amazing coincidence), as I wanted to see if a layout problem in my local copy was present in the book (happily, it wasn’t – ahhh, the mysteries of LaTeX).<\/p>\n

One of the best parts of SIGGRAPH was actually meeting my coauthors. The wild party on the yacht that night in Vancouver Harbor was really something, too, but then I realized I made that up.<\/p>\n
