Is This the Most Practical Guide to ray-tracing?

This book helped me debug issues I’ve struggled with for months—truly a lifesaver. The visual aids and diagrams were not only helpful but beautifully designed to complement the text. It’s the kind of book that stays with you long after you’ve finished reading, prompting reflection and action.

The code samples are well-documented and easy to follow, even for beginners. Each chapter builds on the last in a way that feels both natural and intellectually satisfying. I found myself highlighting entire sections because the ideas were so well-articulated and thought-provoking.
