This book and the CD-ROM demonstrate how to easily achieve a professional-level entry into the field of photorealistic computer graphics. The special advantage is that the reader is introduced to the practical implementation of the fundamentals while also having access to powerful, complete software. This includes the programs POV-Ray (in the current version 3.0) and Moray, which are available for free on the CD-ROM along with many examples. The book and CD-ROM complement each other to form a comprehensive package that is useful for creating attractive graphics, multimedia, and interactive worlds.
