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 compute 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 graphics. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

As a scholar in graphics, I found Little Black Book of Ray-Tracing and Path-Tracing to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to graphics is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. 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.

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

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 3 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 1's discussion of graphics 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 some examples felt dated, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.
