April 5th: Ray Marching and Visualising 3D Fractals by Young Chen (UTSC)

For more information on the seminar, see: https://pgadey.ca/seminar/. Abstract: When a geometry becomes too complex to efficiently visualise using rasterisation or ray tracing techniques, ray marching can be used instead. We will introduce the basics of how ray marching works and see how to render simple scenes using this technique. We will then look at an area where ray marching has been used extensively: rendering fractal geometry. This part of the presentation will consist of a brief introduction to fractals, followed by an introductory look at the different algorithms used to render fractals using ray marching. #seminar #raymarching #graphics
