While Ray-Tracing Pocket Book (Paperback) makes several valuable points about visual effects, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of ray tracing seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to ray tracing. That said, the sections on 3D are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in 3D, this could be a truly outstanding work.

As a scholar in ray tracing, I found Ray-Tracing Pocket Book (Paperback) to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to visual effects is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of graphics, which offers a compelling framework for understanding graphics. While some may argue that 3D, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about ray tracing.
