Ray tracing that does 5D space then

Posted By: ehyto Date: 7/29/25 7:18 a.m.

It's a very simple idea.
Only render what the rays hit.
Plane and triangle intersection tests.
Parallel processing to run a ray for every pixel on the screen.
Take portal rendering and use rays to find visible polyhedrons.
The polyhedrons are made of triangles.
The triangle is regular geometry, a sky box or a portal.
Test for plane intersection first then test if the plane hit is inside a triangle.
The convex polyhedron has planes as it's faces.
A high level game developer could make this easily.
Anyone else looking at ray tracing to do 5D space?
