While Ray-Tracing Pocket Book (Paperback) makes several valuable points about graphics, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of ray tracing seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to 3D. That said, the sections on visual effects 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.

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 graphics is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of rendering, which offers a compelling framework for understanding visual effects. While some may argue that graphics, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about ray tracing.

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with Ray-Tracing Pocket Book (Paperback), but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains rendering made everything click for me. I've been struggling with visual effects for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about ray tracing - it reminded me so much of my own experience with visual effects. I've already recommended it to all my friends!
