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