RayDS DEMO
New Homebrew

Naleksiev has released a DEMO of his Ray Tracer homebrew. This homebrew is in the very early stages of development. See below for more information.

I was playing for the last two developing a ray tracer for DS. It turns out to be pretty neat so I decided to make it public. It's in very early state and it uses a hard coded scene but I hope you enjoy it anyway!

Things to add:
- Torus shape
- Refractions
- Textures
- Constructive Solid Geometry
- Rendering from script file
- Multiple light types

Whoa Ray tracer, isn't that a technique used in the SNES days along with mode 7?

Ray Tracing has to do with computer animation, and is still used to this day.

Err..whats the point of this homebrew? According to "wabsta"s video, all it is is 2 balls on a table. What can you do

If I understand correctly, it's an early demo of code that programmers can use for 3D graphics in their homebrew. These GUIs and graphics engines would make homebrew nicer and easier to code if programmers use them.
