Rendering 101 - Theory: Raytracing, Pathtracing & Monte Carlo

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.

Small alteration for the Houdini experiment. Only look at the first quadrant (positive X/Z axis) and 1/4th of the circle. You only have to do one multiply of P.x and P.y to compare against 1 and the get PI directly from the ratio.
