Four new contributed chapters, written by experts in their fields: Implicit Modeling, Computer Graphics in Games, Color, Visualization, including information visualization

Revised and updated material on the graphics pipeline, reflecting a modern viewpoint organized around programmable shading.

Expanded treatment of viewing that improves clarity and consistency while unifying viewing in ray tracing and rasterization.

Improved and expanded coverage of triangle meshes and mesh data structures.

A new organization for the early chapters, which concentrates foundational material at the beginning to increase teaching flexibility.
