Article 8.5 "Designing a Renderer for Multiple Lights: The Light
Pre-Pass
Renderer" has a wrong statement in the second sentence of in the third
paragraph. This paragraph and the fourth paragraph need to be replaced
by the
following paragraph:
---
This article will focus on a new renderer design that supports a huge
number of
lights. It will cover three different renderer design patterns that
were used
in the game development process in the last eight years to solve this
problem:
Z pre-pass renderer, deferred renderer, and the new Light Pre-Pass
Renderer.

First Page of Color Plates:
Dynamic weather effects as covered in the article
"Dynamic Weather Effects" on page 375. Figures 1 shows Screenshot of
the dynamic weather system in Project Gotham Racing 4 for Xbox 360.
Different
parameters create different types of precipitation; rain in the top
picture
smoothly blends into snow on the right.
Second Page of Color Plates:
Figure 2 More dynamic weather effects in Project Gotham Racing
4 as covered in the article “Dynamic Weather Effects” on page 375.
Figure 3 Interactive hydraulic erosion as shown in article
“Interactive Hydraulic Erosion on the GPU” on page 389.
Third Page of Color Plates:
Figure 4 A scene composed from four layers of material
(displayed in different colors) as shown in the article “Interactive
Hydraulic
Erosion on the GPU” on page 389.
Figure 5 Rain eroding a 2,048x1,024 terrain.

Figure 6 Terrain rendering. Real-time rendering of terrain with
displacement-map-based lighting and procedurally generated snow
placement as
shown in the article “Dynamic Terrain Rendering on GPUs Using Real-Time
Tesselation on page 73.
Figure 7 An interior scene with many materials (including
cloth, wood, glass and brass), with a magnification of a syringe on a
plate in
the inset as shown in the article “An Efficient and Physically
Plausible
Real-Time Shading Model” on page 175.

Figure 9 The images shows a comparison between our
implementation of Texture-Space Diffusion as described by d’Eon and
Leubke
(top) and our optimized implementation (bottom). This
is covered in the article "Fast
Skin Shading" on page 161.

Figure 10 This shows how glass and stone can be achieved on
the same texture, with glass shards in the inset. This is another
screenshot of
the article “An Efficient and Physically Plausible Real-Time Shading
Model” on
page 175.
Figure 11 Interactive volumetric light shafts and shadows
rendered at up to 80 frames per second using our hybrid approach. The fairy forest uses a white point light,
the other two scenes use textured lights where the inset shows the
texture
used. This technique is covered in the article "A Hybrid Method for
Interactive Shadows in Homogeneous Media" on page 331.

Figure 12 This shows how wet and dry can be achieved on the
same texture, with an opposite view in the inset. This is another
screenshot of
the article “An Efficient and Physically Plausible Real-Time Shading
Model” on
page 175.
