## What it is
An open-source Chinese-language book, 'Global Illumination Technology: From Offline to Real-Time Rendering', with full LaTeX source and figures freely available. Readers can build their own PDF, contribute corrections or new chapters, and discuss content via GitHub Issues.

## Use cases
- learn global illumination rendering techniques
- study offline and real-time rendering theory
- build a custom PDF of a graphics textbook from LaTeX source
- contribute corrections or new sections to an open graphics book
- use as teaching material for computer graphics courses
- understand path tracing and real-time GI algorithms

## When to choose
- you want a free, in-depth Chinese-language resource on global illumination
- you prefer open textbooks you can fork, annotate, and improve
- you need reference material for graphics rendering theory or coursework

## When to avoid
- you need a software library or rendering engine rather than a book
- you require English-language material
- you plan commercial redistribution, which the license forbids

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: graphics, simulation, documentation
- domain: graphics, tutorials, education
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: global-illumination, rendering, latex-book, computer-graphics, open-textbook, offline-rendering, real-time-rendering, game-development
