ray-tracing

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

ray-tracing

In computer graphics, method of rendering sharp, detailed images. Designers specify the size, shape, colour, and texture of objects and the type and location of light sources, and use a program to devise a mathematical model tracing how light rays would bounce off the surfaces. The results, complete with shading, shadows, and reflections, depict ‘virtual worlds’ with near-photographic clarity.
