	Moving from 2D to 3D CAD for Engineering Design: Challenges and Opportunities Louis Gary Lamit's Moving from 2D to 3D CAD for Engineering Design: Challenges and Opportunities is a much-needed book that clearly explains the industry factors, the many advantages, and the product selection criteria for adopting 3D computer-aided design (CAD) for one's engineering design work. Written by an experienced designer and instructor, the book is essential for any individual or team who wants to make the best product choices, and maximize their productivity with whatever 3D CAD desi...
	3-D Computer Graphics Perspective Drawing With the Computer This book begins with an introduction to the principles of perspective drawing and the necessary linear algebraic theory. It moves on to art concepts such as composition and balance, and shows you how to draw shadows and even 3-D pictures using stereo pairs. Only high school algebra is required. The practical applications are demonstrated with easy-to-follow BASIC programs. Art is hard work and the techniques of perspective drawing are probably the most tedious of all. Fortunately, comput...
	Advanced 3D Photorealism Techniques "If it looks like a photograph, it's photorealistic--no more, no less." This definition is key, says photorealistic 3-D graphics guru Bill Fleming, who presents techniques for building spectacularly rich photorealistic environments in Advanced 3D Photorealism Techniques. This book is well-suited for 3-D gurus who want to move up to the next level in their craft. Fleming introduces you to simple tricks for adding surface chaos (in the form of rust, oxidation, and corrosion) to otherwise f...
	Launching the Imagination, 3D, with Lauching CD-ROM Covering the principles of three-dimensional design, Launching the Imagination: Three-Dimensional Design, is the ideal text for instructors seeking a colorful and inexpensive introduction to design elements, composition, and organization.
