5 Things You Need to Know About Raytracing

Ray tracing is a widespread technique in computer graphics. You’ve probably seen stills and movies that involved ray tracing, whether in the graphics community or in movie theaters or on TV. The distinguishing feature of ray tracing is that it is one of the most photorealistic ways of rendering computer images. A trade off when using ray tracing is an increase in rendering time, so ray tracing is not used as often in real time situations.

Subsequently, the traditional way of rendering in some 3D programs and most games is not raytracing, but a process called “rasterization” that attempts to do the same thing, but much faster, though slightly less accurately. Ray tracing’s advantage over rasterization is that it’s capable of many more phenomena by default than rasterization, due to its property of being modeled on the real world. It’s this property, and the basic process of raytracing, that will be discussed in this article.

It tells the story of the author from 1979 when she was ten years old and she witnessed social and political changes that puts to an end more than fifty year of the reign of the Persia Shah in Iran and gives way to an Islamic republic, from there on the comic combines the experience of a child, teenager and finally a woman explaining to the Iranian history of the twentieth century ina a very didactic way.
