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
- Scratch A Pixel: Minimal Ray Tracing
- ssloy's tinyraytracer
The first link is especially helpful in understanding how raytracing works from a mathematical perspective.
I created this for fun for the UoA ENGGEN 131 Art Challenge
