### Helpful Resources
|
|
I created this toy raytracer to learn about basic raytracing (and for fun, of course), taking inspiration from the following resources:
|
|
- [Gabriel Gambetta: Computer Graphics From Scratch](https://www.gabrielgambetta.com/computer-graphics-from-scratch/basic-ray-tracing.html)
|
|
- [Scratch A Pixel: Minimal Ray Tracing](https://www.scratchapixel.com/lessons/3d-basic-rendering/minimal-ray-tracer-rendering-simple-shapes/ray-sphere-intersection)
|
|
- [ssloy's tinyraytracer](https://github.com/ssloy/tinyraytracer)
|
|
|
|
The first link is especially helpful in understanding how raytracing works from a mathematical perspective.
