Glassner has expanded some of his columns from IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications for this computer graphics tutorial. He explains how to make pop-up books and cards, create weaves and tartans, and morph three- dimensional shapes. Without assuming that his reader has particular hardware or software, he uses mathematical equations as blueprints to his examples and illustrates nearly every step of his processes. Although his instructions are detailed and specific, Glassner encourages his readers to be adventurous and experimental with their own creations.

Dr. Andrew Glassner Glassner created and edited the Graphics Gems series and the book An Introduction to Ray Tracing. He is also the author of the two-volume text Principles of Digital Image Synthesis. Glassner has written a regular column for IEEE Computer Graphics & Applications since 1996. Those columns have been collected in three books, Andrew Glassner's Notebook, Andrew Glassner's Other Notebook, and Morphs, Mallards, and Montages.
