本书《高级全局光照第2版》作为全局光照领域的权威指南，由Peter Shirley作序推荐，适合初学者入门。前三章详细介绍了全局光照的基本概念、光学原理与渲染方程、概率论及蒙特卡罗积分等基础知识。

I’m so lucky to find the book of ‘Advanced Global Illumination 2nd’ as my first guidance for studying global illumination.

It seems that it is quite a authoritative book for each one who is new to GI – it is forwarded by Peter Shirley; and it is published in 2006 so it is quite updated.

As what the preface mentions, the word “advanced” actually means how fundamental the content is…

Yep, the first 3 chapters reflect “fundamental” quite well. After a general introduction to GI by chapter 1, chapter 2 elaborates optics & the rendering/measurement equation, which each GIer should keep in mind for all his GI days; chapter 3 refers to probability theory and monte carlo integration that plays a key role in GI dev.

I need to go over these chapters for many times until they are digested well enough.
