In January 2016, Peter Shirley released the e-book Ray Tracing in One Weekend, which is a quick and gratifying introduction to ray tracing and rendering. Recently I was inspired to implement the book on the GPU to create a project which shows how to trace rays using compute shaders as easily as possible. Yes, fragment shader based ray marching is easier, but compute can actually scale up to a prod
