rl stuff

[Strahlemann]

the practical course in computer graphics i took is now finished.
I just wanted to share some results, as it was a lot of work and ate a lot of time during the past months.

So, now you're gonna be posting more often, i hope. Learned anything?

I remember my prof saying: "just don't try to write a raytracer your self". And I'm quite sure he said so because he thought we were too stupid to do that. So ... kudos!

I learned that theory and implementation are really really REALLY two different kind of things
And that you can only talk to two categories of persons in rl about your work:

1. people who don't understand the things you do at all ("Nice pictures" followed by silence followed by the question "and which one did you do?").

2. people who have written a raytracer a hundred times, and when you ask them something the answer always starts with "Well, that's easy..."

So i'm really glad not to have those conversations anymore

Nice pictures Strahle, really nice. Which ones did you do?
