- A technique for modeling light transport for use in a wide variety of rendering algorithms for generating digital images. Ray tracing is capable of simulating a variety of optical effects, such as reflection, refraction, soft shadows, scattering, depth of field, motion blur, caustics, ambient occlusion, and dispersion phenomena (such as chromatic aberration). ← Wikipedia
