I myself cannot condone this, but I refuse to downvote it as well.

[-] recapitated@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago

If this is a serious question, do an Internet search for the difference between "ray casting" and "ray tracing".

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 33 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Why, are they colleagues?

EDIT: don't downvote this person, this is a fun-only thread

[-] LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works 16 points 10 months ago

No, Ray Casting is his mentor.

[-] recapitated@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Lol I'm ok, but thanks! I got your back.

[-] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

Not sure, but I've heard he's friends with Justin Thyme.

He is responsible for lighting and reflections. Pretty overrated guy and gets paid way too much.

He a dude that likes to play with reflective spheres on checkered planes. Cool guy :)

If he's anything like Justin Case, I wouldn't trust him.

I can't show you his face, but this is the guy.
