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 4 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 1's discussion of rendering 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.

The author's approach to rendering is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of ray tracing, 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.

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