101 Ray-Tracing, Ray-Marching and Path-Tracing Projects (Paperback)
A high-signal read built around programming, graphics, javascript, shader. It feels current because it aligns with read, 2026, excerpt, yet timeless because it focuses on fundamentals.
ISBN: 9798312705201 Published: March 2, 2025 programming, graphics, javascript, shader, ray-tracing, visualization, ai
What you’ll learn
Build confidence with graphics-level practice.
Connect ideas to read, 2026 without the overwhelm.
Spot patterns in graphics faster.
Turn ray-tracing into repeatable habits.
Who it’s for
Experienced readers who want sharper frameworks. Comfortable for mixed ages and attention spans.
How to use it
Read one section, write one note, apply one idea the same day. Bonus: keep a “next action” list on the inside cover.
A friend asked what I learned and I could actually explain it—because the programming chapter is built for recall. (Side note: if you like Ray-Tracing with Vulkan - Owners' Workshop Manual - Computer Programming (Beginners Onwards) (Paperback), you’ll likely enjoy this too.)

From a structural standpoint, the text creates a coherent ladder: definitions → examples → constraints → application. That’s why the visualization arguments land. (Side note: if you like WebGPU and WGSL by Example: Fractals, Image Effects, Ray-Tracing, Procedural Geometry, 2D/3D, Particles, Simulations (Hardback), you’ll likely enjoy this too.)
