[Nottingham] [Misc] Fun Computational Dynamics, Ray Tracing, and *Tetris* !

[Martin]

There's a whole series that have been uploaded that are very distracting...


Those ray tracing examples are a very long way ahead of my idle
experimenting with POVray from long ago.

POVray is similarly beautifully easy to get very good effects, but also
awfully slow for rendering...


All good fun!

Cheers,
Martin
