Cg 101: A Computer Graphics Industry Reference |
|
 |
The pocket-size CG 101 is the ultimate handy reference. It alphabetically lists hundreds of commonly used computer graphics terms, processes, acronyms, applications, theories, and companies, with lengthy definitions and useful, clear explanations.
Divided into specific areas of computer graphics, like color theory, animation, compositing, and so on, CG 101 begins each section with a brief introduction. For example, prior to the list of terms in "Color Theory," the book provides a discussion on why computer graphics uses the RGB (red, green, blue) system instead of the CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) system that is used in printing. The section on painting and graphic design lists software tools used in 2D computer graphics, particularly the early ground-breaking ones such as 1975 s SuperPaint or 1985's Harry (a predecessor to Quantel´s Paintbox, which paved the way for today's state-of-the-art methods).
