Editorial Reviews: Product Description Creative Computer Graphics presents the dynamic visual power of images created with computer technology. From the pioneering efforts in the 1950s to the current achievements of modern exponents in the US, UK, France and Japan, the book explores computer graphic images through the techniques and technology used to create them. Scientific research laboratories, video games, NASA space simulations, feature films, television advertising and industrial design are some of the areas where computer graphics has made an impact. The book traces the history, assesses the current state of the art and looks ahead to the future where computer graphic images and techniques are to become progressively more important as a means of expression and communication.

Customer Reviews: Dated, but still beautiful and entertaining October 4, 2006 David V. Coombs (Sacramento, CA) This was the classic "coffee table" book about computer graphics art and technology in the year 1984. It remains, in my opinion, one of the most ENTERTAINING books on computer graphics. The book is full of pictures, including big, beautiful screen shots from early films like "TRON" and "The Last Starfighter". It's a very easy read, with large text and simple explanations of graphics methods such as fractals and smooth polygon shading. There's also a pretty good discussion of the early history of the field, including pioneers like John Whitney, Sr. and Dr. James Blinn. A lot of the images in the book are abstract, and most are not photo-realistic, due to the software and hardware limitations of that era. Still, I find them beautiful and compelling and a reminder of what people were able to accomplish with the relatively clumsy tools they had available at that time. Overall, an outdated book but still a fine read. Dave Coombs
