RayViz

Ray tracing is a set of algorithms for rendering scenes. It is known for producing high-quality images-and taking equally impressive amounts of time to do it in.

However, since the early 1990s, computer graphics professionals have taken a new look at this rendering technology. Ever-improving microprocessors and algorithms may soon make ray tracing the rendering algorithm of choice for interactive computer graphics. Many movies already rely on this physical light simulation for special effects.
