Good idea.

Folks brewing their own raytracers. Most of it is over my head but I still find it interesting.
1) Get 3D software
2) ???
3) Profit!

I stumbled upon:

View on Vimeo.

just a couple of minutes ago and i think it is interesting to see the behaviour of water filmed with such a high framerate. This might come in handy as a reference one day.
Just wanted to share it with you guys.

Mix vectors, planes and volumes, elements from any dimension! Find intersections, perform geometric miracles!


...[generating not only a]... linear and multilinear algebra, but also vector and tensor algebra, screw algebra, the complex numbers, quaternions, octonions, Clifford algebra, and Pauli and Dirac algebra.

[...]

Here then is a geometric calculus par excellence. We hope you enjoy exploring it.


Wait no longer, forget the old vector algebra, use Grassmann algebra!*
