While Ray-Tracing Pocket Book (Paperback) makes several valuable points about ray tracing, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of 3D seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to rendering. That said, the sections on ray tracing 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 ray tracing is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of visual effects, which offers a compelling framework for understanding graphics. While some may argue that graphics, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about ray tracing.
