Ray-tracing in Excel

Ray-tracing in Excel

by Paul Roberts
August 22, 2019
Reading Time: 1 min read

A user who goes by the name of S0lly has uploaded a demo of a ray-tracing model running in Excel. The project was created using a model based on the book “The Ray Tracer Challenge” by Jamis Buck.  This isn’t S0lly’s first exercise to implement 3D algorithms in Excel. In the past, he has also released demos of a pseudo and “real” 3d engine. You can see the demo on YouTube and download the source file from Github.
