    Everyone writes a Raytracer eventually. This is mine.

    [1] I used SQL: https://github.com/chunky/sqlraytracer [note that dielectrics still aren't working, don't judge me for bugs, yet!]

    :diamond_shape_with_a_dot_inside: Single-file glTF 2.0 loader and writer written in C99

    It's easy to generate a BVH for a generated triangle set (like a fractal pyramid or a dense cube). But, quickly generating a high quality BVH for a loaded model requires some research. Use https://github.com/jkuhlmann/cgltf to load models.
