Hey all...
I have a paper that's due in rather soon, which I have completely failed to plan in advance. It is to be a report on the technology behind computer game graphics. I need to research, rather urgently, some info to put in this report, namely:
1) A brief history on the advancement of graphics.
2) Information on various graphics techniques used today, such as lighting, texture/bump maps, shaders and HDR.
3) A system flow diagram for a GPU or PC (running games)... I have NO idea where to find this...
4) Stuff about graphics in the future.
I know there's the usual Google and Wikipedia stuff, but do you know of any other resources for this kind of info? Of course, I'm not asking anyone to do my research for me, but if anyone knows of any excellent sites of relevance, please let me know... your help would be greatly received and much appreciated!
