Hi all,

I haven't been here for a while but wanted to let you know that I started a new series of articles on my blog, this time on real-time voxel ray tracing on the CPU. Nine articles are planned, three have been completed so far. Each episode starts with the same code and then introduces a ray tracing technique.

Topic list:

1. Starting point: Voxel ray tracing template code. Lights and shadows.
2. Whitted-style: Reflections, recursion, glass.
3. Stochastic techniques: Anti-aliasing and soft shadows.
4. Noise reduction: Stratification, blue noise.
5. Converging under movement: Reprojection.
6. Path tracing: Basics first; then: Importance Sampling.
7. Denoising fundamentals.
8. Acceleration structures: Extending the grid to a multi-level grid.
9. Acceleration structures: Adding a TLAS.
