★★★★☆

Ray-Tracing Pocket Book (Paperback) offers a compelling take on ray tracing, though not without flaws. While the treatment of graphics is excellent, I found the sections on Rendering & Ray Tracing less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Computers & Technology that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Books more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for graphics will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on 3D, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved Ray-Tracing Pocket Book (Paperback)! It completely changed my perspective on ray tracing. At first I wasn't sure about Graphics & Design, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Books is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in 3D. What I appreciated most was how the book made rendering feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
