The title doesn&rsquo;t lie, my first CPU raytracer did take only one weekend.</p> <p>Afterward, I tried making the same raytracer using a compute shader and with the possibility to move around the scene in real time. Results are in the video below, link to the source code: <a href="https://github.com/jan-kelemen/graphics-demos/tree/master/beam">jan-kelemen/beam</a></p>
