I read a message a few days ago about a book by Watt & Watts. This is a book that talks about Computer Animation. In the message they mention that the Author is invlove with TDI. Can someone tell me the name of the book and the name of the publisher ? Best Regards, Sze C

I recently picked up a book called "Advanced Animation and Rendering Techniques – Theory and Practice" by Alan Watt and Mark Watt. I think this is the book you're looking for. The cover text says that one of the authors is with TDI. The publisher is Addison Wesley, ISBN # is 0-201-54412-1 _Jim

Hi Chianly — I think the book you're describing is "Advanced Animation and Rendering Techniques: Theory and Practice" on Addison-Wesley & ACM Press, 1992. Price is about $45. It's by Alan Watt of the University of Sheffield (he also wrote "Fundamentals of 3D Computer Graphics") and his brother Mark Watt, who's now working with TDI in Paris. The book is good to dip into, but like all things on 3D, it's too short! Best wishes, jd
