Welcome to the Raytracing wiki!

In this Wiki, there is a collection of useful materials for tutorials on the technologies used in this project.

WebGL

This series of videos provide a nice introduction to WebGL programming:

• WebGL Tutorial 01 - Setup and Triangle
• WebGL Tutorial 02 - Rotating 3D Cube

For a WebGL cheat sheet, check this out.

Ray tracing

This link contains a friendly tutorial on Computer Graphics and Ray tracing:

• Introduction to Ray Tracing: a Simple Method for Creating 3D Images

The Blinn-Phong equation also helped, along with the wikipedia page on the illumination model.

For a long video explaining the theory behind Ray tracing, check out this video. These slides are also useful: link

There is also a very simplified implementation video: Basic raytracer in 30min C++
