Ray Tracing in Silverlight

I had some free time today and did this:

I'd like to note that LukeH made the core raytracing engine in C#. He built it using linq and the code looks very elegant .

I did the "Silverlight" part of it. There are some things to think about with ray tracing in Silvelright - see the links at the bottom for more info.

  Hey Nicola I've fiddled some with your raytracer... i managed to reduce the tracing to 2.5sec on a quadcore using backgroundworkers using more threads helps a lot !

I was actually inspired by your tracer, to think of the idea of distributed raytracers... just imagine all clients of a site, rendering stuff while visiting :) you could even build a whole 3d-studio where people would render eachothers frames !
