Essential Computer Graphics Techniques for Modeling, Animating, and Rendering Biomolecules and Cells

The book helps readers develop fundamental skills in the field of biomedical illustrations with a training approach based on step-by-step tutorials with a practical approach. Medical/scientific illustration mainly belongs to professionals in the art field or scientists trying to create artistic visualisation. There is not a merging between the two, even if the demand is high. This leads to accurate scientific images with no appeal (or trivial mistakes), or appealing images with huge scientific mistakes. This gives the fundamentals to the scientist so they can apply CG techniques that give a more scientific approach creating mistake-free images.

Essential Computer Graphics Techniques for Modeling, Animating, and Rendering Biomolecules and Cells equips the reader with a solid grounding in these skills.
