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 2's discussion of visual effects 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.

Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of ray tracing, which offers a compelling framework for understanding graphics. While some may argue that ray tracing, 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 visual effects, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of visual effects seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to graphics. That said, the sections on ray tracing are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in rendering, this could be a truly outstanding work.
