"Rendering with Radiance" by Larson and Shakespeare, which used to be |
81 |
< |
available from Morgan Kauffman Publishing. Unfortunately, the book has |
82 |
< |
gone out of print, and the authors are currently looking at alternative |
83 |
< |
means of distribution. The first chapter of this book, which includes |
79 |
< |
a basic tutorial and serves as a good introduction for new users, may be |
80 |
< |
found in "doc/pdf/RwR01.pdf". Keep tuned to the radiance website |
81 |

for updates on the full book's availability. |
