Re: Reduce, re-used, recycle
Way back in the early '90s in Southern NZ the university of Otago compsci dept did the graphics for the Americas Cup then being run in Auckland using ray tracing for the first time. My wife did a compsci degree at Otago so I got the full specs and spiel on it.
You say 'ray tracing' as though it's some new fangled thing. Sorry youngster, you're wrong.
