Computer Graphics From Scratch

[cover]

Behind the beautiful imagery of the latest animated movie and the
realistic environments of popular videogames lie some mysterious
algorithms. Computer Graphics from Scratch aims to demystify these
algorithms and shows you that computer graphics can be surprisingly
simple.

This broad introductory book gives you an overview of the computer
graphics field with a focus on two core areas of modern graphics:
raytracing and rasterization. Links to interactive demos throughout
bring the algorithms alive. Every algorithm is built up without the
use of external libraries or APIs and is presented with language
agnostic pseudocode, allowing anyone with a basic understanding of
programming and high school math to follow along.

Computer Graphics from Scratch demystifies the algorithms used in
modern graphics software with basic programming and high school math.
