As a scholar in graphics, I found Real-Time Ray-Tracing with Vulkan for the Impatient to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to vulkan is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of ray-tracing, which offers a compelling framework for understanding ai. While some may argue that compute, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about graphics.

While Real-Time Ray-Tracing with Vulkan for the Impatient makes several valuable points about vulkan, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of vulkan seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to ai. That said, the sections on graphics 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 5 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 3's discussion of vulkan 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 more primary sources would strengthen the argument, 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 ray-tracing made everything click for me. I've been struggling with ray-tracing for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about shader - it reminded me so much of my own experience with shader. I've already recommended it to all my friends!
