Book Synopsis The Ray Tracer Challenge by : Jamis Buck

Book excerpt: Brace yourself for a fun challenge: build a photorealistic 3D renderer from scratch! In just a couple of weeks, build a ray tracer that renders beautiful scenes with shadows, reflections, refraction effects, and subjects composed of various graphics primitives: spheres, cubes, cylinders, triangles, and more. With each chapter, implement another piece of the puzzle and move the renderer forward. Use whichever language and environment you prefer, and do it entirely test-first, so you know it's correct.
