Real Time Visual Effects for the Technical Artist

As the power of the real-time rendering engine improves, so too do the interfaces for VFX creation. With limited technical understanding, artists can create VFX with the push of a button and tug of a slider. As powerful as the interfaces are, they can only expose a portion of the true potential of the rendering engine. Artists are limited by their understanding of the engine interface.Real Time Visual Effects for the Technical Artistis written for digital artists to explain the core concepts of VFX, common in all engines, to free them from interface bounds.
