Jim Blinn's Corner is a compendium of 20 articles previously published in IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications. This book is for advanced computer graphics programmers who are interested in hyperoptimizing their code. For example, Blinn dedicates 10 pages to examining the intricacies of working with pixels, a topic that most graphics programs (and graphics programmers) bury under layers of abstraction. Written in an amusing style, the text is full of examples and code fragments so that you can follow along as Blinn thinks his way through a hard problem. Jim Blinn's Corner also includes a few chapters on topics that are tangential to computer graphics programming--"Farewell to FORTRAN," which discusses the benefits of C++, and another that teaches how to give a good technical talk on computer graphics.

Synopsis
Jim Blinn is one of the graphic world's most renowned figures. He created the animation for the PBS series, Cosmos, as well as the animated sequences for the 52 part telecourse, The Mechanical Universe. In this book he shares his most useful graphics tips and tricks, many of which have never before been addressed and can't be found in any other book.

Synopsis
Together for the first time, a compendium of graphics guru Jim Blinn's best columns from "Jim Blinn's Corner," his regular column in IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications. With added commentary, this book offers special tips and tricks for programmers with emphasis on the mathematical aspects of computer graphics.
