Business Card Raytracer

Fabien Sanglard (via Lemont Washington):

I recently came across Paul Heckbert’s business card raytracer. For those that have never heard of it: It is a very famous challenge in the Computer Graphics field that started on May 4th, 1984 via a post on comp.graphics by Paul Heckbert ( More about this in his article “A Minimal Ray Tracer” from the book Graphics Gems IV).

The goal was to produce the source code for a raytracer...that would fit on the back of a business card.
