Adding ray tracing (back) to my game engine [Voxel Devlog #17]

Online demo: https://github.com/DouglasDwyer/octo-...
Additional voxel models: https://drive.google.com/drive/folder...

It's time for another devlog, and the engine has undergone a ground-up rewrite! In this video, I showcase the new ray marched graphics. I discuss the drawbacks of rasterization and the importance of two attributes in voxel engines: per-voxel colors and per-voxel normals. Then, I explain the performance improvements in this iteration of the engine over my initial attempts two years ago.
