The Java 3D API Specification

Good overview of lighting technique in computer graphics. It is good to skim for the professional lighter and very good perusing for the beginner. I usually find books that are too technical impossible to read . This one was not difficult at all while managing to be comprehensive. I fear some of the issues will become a bit dated with time and future editions will have to provide a timeline for certain developments. I wish some more space would have been devoted to certain aspects like developments in rendering beyond Reyes and brute force raytracing. Also, the compositing of life elements into CG scenes which is touched on on the chapter about set data collecting and layers. I imagine future editions will expand on the lighting of grooms, more on subsurface scattering and the many troubles with color- the chapter on linear vs gamma corrected displays will be an eye-opener to many - Overall, a must for those starting on the path of computer lighting and its many challenges.
