WiiRayTracer is a program that utilizes a basic version of a raytracing algorithm to generate 3D images on the Nintendo Wii console. The program utilizes the raw framebuffer and guVector functions, which are built-in tools, to generate the images.

Raytracing is a technique used to create realistic 3D images by simulating the way light behaves in the real world. It is a computationally intensive process and is typically used in high-end 3D graphics applications.

WiiRayTracer allows users to experience this powerful technique on the Wii console. It is a simple implementation of a raytracer that can be used to create some interesting and unique images.

FAQs

• What's it do?

It paints silly bubbles on your screen.

• What's the purpose?

I wanted to experiment with Wii development, and figured something nice to start off with would be to port a raytracing engine I had made earlier for university work.

• What does it use?

The raw framebuffer + a shitload of vector functions.
