I absolutely loved Ray-Tracing Pocket Book (Paperback)! It completely changed my perspective on ray tracing. At first I wasn't sure about ray tracing, 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 ray tracing. What I appreciated most was how the book made Books feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

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