REAL

RAYTRACING

@AmazingThew

to be clear this is about 75 different kinds of fake

it is TECHNICALLY doing sort-of-accelerated ray-primitive intersections instead of marching or rasterization though, so it does sorta actually meet the definition

also the reflections aren't traced it's just an environment map lol

you can't call anything raytracing unless there's chrome though
