    This document summarizes the key topics from the first lecture of the CS348B course on rendering by Pat Hanrahan. It discusses the engineering, scientific, and artistic aspects of rendering and visualization. It provides an overview of the history of rendering from the 1960s to the present, covering geometric transformations, shading models, reflection models, illumination algorithms, and physically based rendering. It also mentions non-photorealistic rendering and lists some of the main topics that will be covered in the course like ray tracing, radiometry, and rendering algorithms.
