101 Ray-Tracing, Ray-Marching and Path-Tracing Projects (Paperback)

A genuinely enjoyable read that also taught me a great deal.

I was looking for something that would bridge the gap between tutorials and proper reference material, and this does that well. The author is unusually honest about where the simplifications break down, which I appreciated. The early chapters move quickly through material I already knew, but the later sections were genuinely new to me. I have already recommended it to two colleagues and will recommend it to more.

A worthwhile addition to my shelf, with realistic expectations.

I have been working with programming for a few years now and I still found plenty here that was new to me. The writing is direct and does not waste space on filler, which I value in a technical book. The examples are small enough to type out and experiment with, which is exactly what I want from a book like this. The book rewards careful reading. Skimming it would be a mistake. Solid, and I would buy another book from this author without hesitation.
