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

Real-Time Ray-Tracing with Vulkan for the Impatient is a comprehensive exploration of graphics that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 6 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 1's discussion of shader 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.

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with Real-Time Ray-Tracing with Vulkan for the Impatient, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains shader 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 ai - it reminded me so much of my own experience with vulkan. I've already recommended it to all my friends!
