I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with Ray-Tracing Pocket Book (Paperback), but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains 3D made everything click for me. I've been struggling with graphics for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about ray tracing - it reminded me so much of my own experience with visual effects. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

Ray-Tracing Pocket Book (Paperback) is a comprehensive exploration of ray tracing that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 5 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 4's discussion of 3D is particularly strong, with clear examples and practical applications. The diagrams and illustrations throughout help clarify complex ideas, and the chapter summaries are excellent for review. My only minor critique is that the conclusion seemed rushed, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.
