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 graphics made everything click for me. I've been struggling with rendering 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!

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