How do we write a ray tracer in opengl?
But this is all very awkward and pointless. Pixel shaders are not designed for that, and textures are not ideal for passing such information to the GPU. Ideally, you would use OpenGL compute shaders, or any other GPU compute API, and pass your geometry in "buffers". I've written a polygon mesh raytracer like that in OpenCL once upon a time: https://github.com/jtsiomb/clray
What are some alternatives?
