Ray tracing is very common technique for generating photo-realistic digital imagery, which is exactly what we'll be doing in this series. Aside from learning all about ray tracing and the math to goes into it, as well as how to implement it, we'll also be focusing on performance and optimization in C++ to make our renderer as efficient as possible. We'll eventually switch to using the GPU instead of the CPU (using Vulkan) to run our ray tracing algorithms, as this will be much faster that using the CPU. This will also be a great introduction to leveraging the power of the GPU in the software you write. All of the code episode-by-episode will be released, and if you need help check out the #raytracing-series channel on my Discord server. I'm really looking forward to this series and I hope you are too! ❤️ CHAPTERS - What this series is - What you need to know to follow this series - Resources I recommend for learning ray tracing - Setting up the project - How to render an image - Generating a random image - Timing our renders and a note on performance - Rendering an image every frame This video is sponsored by Brilliant. #RayTracingWhat people say. Highly recommended as a great starting point for learning ray tracing and transitioning from CPU to GPU rendering.
