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 3D 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 graphics - it reminded me so much of my own experience with graphics. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

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 3 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 4'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 the conclusion seemed rushed, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.

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