- jacobolus 2y agoNumerical Recipes was just several editions of one book, each with a few variants (for different programming languages). But you might be thinking of Graphics Gems (vols 1–5). https://www.realtimerendering.com/resources/GraphicsGems/ https://www.realtimerendering.com/resources/GraphicsGems/
- AlotOfReading 2y agoAbrash's Black Book was more in the style of Numerical Recipes than graphics gems, from what I recall. I also remember Nvidia putting out something annually around the late 2000s that was pretty good, can't remember the name though.
- JKCalhoun 2y agoWow, yeah, Graphics Gems, those was amazing. Thanks for reminding me.
- jacobolus 2y agoFrom the same era, folks may also enjoy the three volumes of collected articles from Jim Blinn's Corner. Some of it is a bit dated now, but plenty is still relevant.
