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.graphicsby 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.
