"Principles of Digital Image Synthesis"

Principles of Digital Image Synthesis involve creating images using computer algorithms that simulate real-world visuals or generate imaginative scenes. It combines mathematical models, lighting, shading, and textures to produce realistic or stylized images. Key concepts include pixel-based rendering, where images are built from tiny color units, and rendering techniques that mimic light behavior, such as reflection and shadows. These principles enable the development of digital images for movies, video games, virtual reality, and simulations, allowing creators to craft vivid, detailed visuals through systematic, scientifically grounded processes.
