Raytracing is a technology that allows the creation of highly realistic images from your Chief Architect plans. Rendering draws your model onto the screen, while raytracing actually traces the rays of light from your camera as they bounce around and reflect in the 3D model. As a result, raytracing is slower than OpenGL rendering, but can be used to achieve much more complex effects such as reflections and highly realistic lighting.
