Hi all, just wanted to share my vanilla webgpu adaptation of Peter Shirley’s “Raytracing in One Weekend” initially written in c++. It’s an incredibly interesting resource for anyone looking to get into raytracing from scratch. Since completing the first part, I wrote a blog on certain adaptations ; that developers porting from CPU code to GPU code especially in wgsl/webgpu; should be careful of like memory allocation and taking full advantage of the parallel architecture of the GPU when building and designing code systems. All links attached below! Enjoy!
