While Ray-Tracing Pocket Book (Paperback) makes several valuable points about visual effects, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of rendering seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to graphics. That said, the sections on visual effects are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in rendering, 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 visual effects is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of visual effects, which offers a compelling framework for understanding rendering. While some may argue that visual effects, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about ray tracing.

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 8 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 some examples felt dated, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.
