He also has his Mitsuba Renderer (for which this library was created), Nori UI library, ... guy is a machine, and extremely personable / friendly in person.
- speierers 7y agoHe's actually the coauthor of the 3rd version of that book. Also his GUI library is called NanoGUI. Nori is an educational rendering framework.
- pixelpoet 7y agoWhoopsie, guy has too many libraries ;) And yeah I got the 1st ed of PBRT immediately in 2004, have both his and Matt Pharr's autographs in it.
