Little Black Book of Ray-Tracing and Path-Tracing is a comprehensive exploration of graphics that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 8 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 2's discussion of ray-tracing 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 more primary sources would strengthen the argument, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.

Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of compute, which offers a compelling framework for understanding compute. While some may argue that graphics, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about graphics.

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with Little Black Book of Ray-Tracing and Path-Tracing, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains compute 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 compute - it reminded me so much of my own experience with ray-tracing. I've already recommended it to all my friends!
