Yes, classic book where from 90's like "The Renderman Companion" or "Advanced RenderMan", and then there is toolings books, for each tool. I used to own many Maya books and 3DS Max books.
I have such nostalgia for that particular moment in time, and for me it was the Renderman Companion and Advanced Animation and Rendering Techniques. The web was still small, and the information density contained in Borders Books or Barnes & Nobel was just completely immersive. Lots of snowy Saturday…

…接触到 Renderman 文档是在我写毕业论文的时候，当时要把一个基于粒子的可视化引擎从 Objective-C/NeXT Cube 移植到普通的 Windows/OpenGL 1.1/MFC 上。读了那份文档，再加上《The Renderman Companion: A Programmer's Guide to Realistic Computer Graphics》，真是让我大开眼界，普通 PC 居然比这种图形工作站落后了这么多。当然，那是大约 20 年前的事了，非常有趣…

是的，像 90 年代的经典书籍《The Renderman Companion》或《Advanced RenderMan》，然后还有工具书，每个工具一本。我以前收藏过好多 Maya 和 3DS Max 的书。

我特别怀念那个特定的时代，对我来说那就是《Renderman Companion》和《Advanced Animation and Rendering Techniques》。那时候互联网还很小，而 Borders 或 Barnes & Noble 书店里的信息密度简直让人完全沉浸其中。好多下雪的星期六…
