FunRay Renderer

An integration of Peter Shirleys Ray Tracing In One Weekend book series into Cinema 4D.

Current raytracing code is based on the first book. There have been no changes to any of the raytracing code at all.

This is not optimized. It is slow. It is just a fun side project to integrate a renderer into C4D.

Full plugin source code available here

Compatible with R25 and S26 on Windows and macOS
