Rendering for Beginners : Image synthesis using RenderMan

Rating:
Summary: Very nice book
Review: Been reading my copy for the past few days, it is terrific. The book is wonderful for a novice such as myself. I have played around with rendering in Max, LightWave etc. but have always wanted to learn RenderMan.

The content is beautifully laid out, LOVE the all-color images and illustrations. It is for beginners but sure includes a lot of material! The text is peppered with all sorts of references that point to even more goodies. The author seems to have a direct, sometimes humorous style that is very appealing to me. Can't wait to start downloading the examples and playing with them.

I highly recommend this book.
