"After spending considerable time with Graphics and Compute: Primer Volume 5 Ray-Tracing (Hardback), I'm impressed by how the author balances depth with accessibility. The first three chapters establish a strong foundation, while the middle sections develop the core concepts with numerous practical examples. The final section synthesizes these ideas in a way that feels both surprising and inevitable—a hallmark of excellent structuring."
