Ray tracing is a method for calculating the path of waves or particles through a system. In graphics, it refers to using ray tracing (graphics) for 3D image generation.
Definition
Ray tracing is a method for calculating the path of waves or particles through a system. It is practiced in two distinct but related forms: ray tracing (physics), used for analyzing optical and other systems, and ray tracing (graphics), used for 3D image generation.
Context in Gaming
Within gaming, game mechanics, engines, platforms and esports, the graphics form of ray tracing is relevant to 3D image generation. It helps produce images by calculating how light travels through a scene.
