Rendering 101 - Theory: Raytracing, Pathtracing & Monte Carlo (Patreon)

Before we dive head first into our first renderings, I think it's cool to get an idea of how a computer actually calculates how light propagates through a scene and how it computes an image.

This video goes over the theoretical background of what a raytracer and a pathtracer do in order to generate images. We'll be talking camera rays, bounces and monte carlo methods.
