How does ray tracing produce hyper realistic graphics? | Bitwise

Video Description

I'm a professional programmer who works on games, web and VR/AR applications. With my videos I like to share the wonderful world of programming with everyone! What's the next step beyond rasterization? How does ray- and pathtracing create these hyper realistic graphics? We'll look into the inner workings of ray tracing as well as some of the challenges associated with it.
