29: How a ray tracer works (via Paul smith)

I googled “raytracing” at the weekend, and found out how these kind of renderers usually work. With that in mind, I managed to make a working version. Here I show how the method differs from the one I used on my raycast camera.

The difference is mainly down to the fact I stored attributes on the objects in the scene and read those attributes from there rather than storing them in the ‘camera’ mesh itself
