Computer Graphics II – materials

Set of essential books/dissertations for the course are:

[PBRT2018] Pharr M., Humphreys G.: Physically Based Rendering: From Theory To Implementation. Morgan Kaufmann; 3rd edition, 2018, free online edition is available
[Glassner1989] A. Glassner: An Introduction to Ray Tracing, Academic Press, 1989
[Shirley2009] P. Shirley, M. Ashikhmin, S. Marschner: Fundamentals of Computer Graphics, 3rd edition, A K Peters, 2009
[Veach1997] Veach E.: Robust Monte Carlo Methods for Light Transport Simulation, Ph.D. dissertation, Stanford University, 1997.

From [Glassner1989]: the entire book is useful, maybe except of practical implementation chapters.
From [Shirley2009]: pages 69-90, 233-260, 303-316, 317-338.
