This page contains links to all resources mentioned in Chapter 8 of the textbook.

Animated video of the first two figures from the chapter

These videos were created in POV-Ray, and show that POV accurately combines lights and filters lights according to the additive and subtractive color models.

Interactive color picker

This excellent website lets you experiment with how changing any one of the components of an RGB or HSB color vector impacts all the components in the other color space. It also supports many other parameterizations of color space not discussed in the text.

Also, some links from Chapter 6 remain relevant, especially the link to the JavaScript raytracer for the programming exercises.
