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.

Four Most Unique Ubuntu Derivatives
There’s no doubt that Ubuntu has transformed the Linux landscape since its introduction six years ago. It has modified a few key technologies to ensure generally demanding tasks under Linux, simpler for even early computer users. Although, Ubuntu was a debian-based distro, it is a popular framework for several other distros.
Although you can take a basic Ubuntu source code and make it into almost anything, derivatives are quite popular because they eliminate the need for custom configurations. The huge number of distros testifies to that!
Certainly, there are the official progenies like Kubuntu, but what about other distros? Generally many Ubuntu derivatives are geared towards a specific requirement, but that does not mean that they are less useful.

46 Astonishing Examples Of Digital Paintings
Digital painting can be defined as, “Digital painting is an emerging art form in which traditional painting techniques such as watercolor, oils, impasto, etc. are applied using digital tools by means of a computer, a digitizing tablet and stylus, and software.”
To digitally paint your sketches or illustrations lots of different tools are used. Photoshop and tablets are most important tools to make digital paintings. But tools are nothing if you don’t have talent, in this post i have collected the digital paintings done by very talented digital artists.
