  • Extremely informative!
Awesome! This is an extremely informative and very well made book about graphics rendering, illumination, engine design and implementation. I like how this book explains newest and advanced technologies for professional game programmers. There should be more books like this! Great series!

  • Excellent information. Great layout
Excellent information. Great layout. Relevant supporting graphics. I'm just not sure who the target audience is. The topics covered in this book are all highly specialized. As such the examples address specific problems and the knowledge gained from their implementation tends to be just as specialized. The type of programmer who goes asking the questions answered in this book doesn't need this book. Even advanced engine developers may only find a chapter or two relevant to their work. GPU Pro seems to be a collection of industry whitepapers with the programmer art replaced by graphics designers. Having read some of the original research that this book references I can't help but think aspiring programmers with a specific question in mind would be better served just asking their favorite search engine. Each chapter being written by a different person is indicative of this book's audience issue. The examples referenced were written by programmers from varying disciplines and teams trying to solve wildly differing problems and then compiled together. Even large cross-disciplinary projects will likely only utilize a small subset of the knowledge presented with the rest remaining unread. As the title suggests if you don't know what to ask and are looking for an overview about shader development, GPU programming, or rendering pipelines, this book is not for you. ... show more

  • As with previous books - low quality of public sample ...
As with previous books - low quality of public sample code. And and some articles promise sample code, which is not present on public sample code sit on github. Editors' slovenliness as is in many other books of this type.
