Ok, let's focus in https://excamera.com/sphinx/article-ray.html to test the ray tracer and maybe, create our own version. Forked at: https://github.com/acs/raytrace Let's start with the slower and simpler version: https://gist.github.com/rossant/6046463 Which in...

In order to understand ray tracing and to implement it, it is key to understand the different types of lights that exist: https://www.iu.edu.jo/files/FacultyIT/slides_it/ComputerGraphics/lecture%207.pdf * Emitted * Ambient * Diffuse *...

A pretty cool introduction, with a good balance between introducing basic concepts and explaining the whole thing: https://www.scratchapixel.com/lessons/3d-basic-rendering/introduction-to-ray-tracing/adding-reflection-and-refraction (at least for my current vision of ray tracing). And https://www.scratchapixel.com/lessons/3d-basic-rendering/minimal-ray-tracer-rendering-simple-shapes/ray-sphere-intersection describe...

In the spectator mode there are already shaders: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Shaders A nice interesting feature. And also, you can change the view of the main player to panoramic (a kind of fish...
