Ray Tracer in 506 bytes (x86 boot sector)

I've made a Ray Tracer in x86 assembler code based on the amazing Ray Tracer for Atari 8-bit BASIC developed by D. Scott Williamson.
It fits on a boot sector, and can run in real hardware (you'll need a minimum of a Pentium Pro)
You can download it at github.com/nan...

6 bytes left for implementing caustics, ambient occlusion, motion blur and a teapot

…and SSS!

@@yesthatsam Only 5 bytes are required for all that.

Oscar, I'm amazed how you never run out of ideas, first chess, then super cool games, I thought boot sector raycaster was the limit but this is absolutely another level, thanks for sharing, this is amazing!

[@RidgeRacer]

Seriously cool, almost can't believe it's all in a boot sector.

Ray trace in a boot sector. That's incredible!

Why the checker pattern in the balls does not move?

[@devendrparhate]

is does

[@nanochess]

because only the camera moves.

[@stema84]

@@nanochesswhich way because the floor moves away from us but those spheres come closer

[@nanochess]

@@stema84 the floor had reversed Z mapping. I've corrected it. In reality the camera goes towards the spheres.

Is this video mode 13h in 320x200x8? Good work.😊

Yes, that's right. 320x200x256 colors.

Impressive

Thanks man!

Great

Nice, assembler is to complicated for me, I prefer JavaScript :)
