I spent an entire week digging into and implementing my own Raytracing renderer in Rust. In this video we talk about what crates I used and the approaches I took... as well as whether or not it was worth the time.

I followed the first two books from the Raytracing in One Weekend and Raytracing: The Next Week series: https://raytracing.github.io/

The code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/rust-adventure/ray...

and a fully written version of this video is available on Rust Adventure: https://www.rustadventure.dev/i-spent...
