★★★★☆

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