Two years ago, I showed you how I created a simple raytracer from scratch. This is my attempt at improving my first version and showing you how I did it!

Detailed description:
In this video, I explain how I created a ray tracing engine in C++ using OpenGL. Raytracing is a rendering algorithm that can be used to generate photorealistic images with nice shadows and reflections. The technology has recently been made accessible to many when NVIDIA announced their RTX graphics cards. I successfully implemented lighting, soft shadows, raytraced global illumination, progressive rendering, reflections and more.
