★★★★☆

Ray-Tracing Pocket Book (Paperback) offers a compelling take on ray tracing, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Graphics & Design is excellent, I found the sections on graphics less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Game Development 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 3D will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Books, if not the definitive work.
