An Introduction to Ray tracing

Rating:
Summary: Great Introduction
Review: While some books treat ray tracing like a method for geniuses, this one try demystify it. The highlights, in general, go into "why" and "how" to do. Maybe the best parts are the "dictionary" of "ray-intersection" formulas and mainly the practical outline of a real ray tracer. This book don't teach you to do a ray tracer to Holywood, but it's a very good begin.
