Current ray tracing method
I'm back after a couple of years hiatus and would like to get going with ray tracing again. Back in the day I used to use P5sunflowapiapi and Joons Renderer. What are the best current options, working with the latest version of Processing and newer versions of OS:s (preferably MacOS)? Google has not been my friend in trying to find anything. =(

@nabr might have a suggestion.

IDK write a Ray Tracer from scratch / use shaders.
Surprised to see sunflow hasn't changed in 10 years, but there's no reason it shouldn't still work as it did. It's a Java library, the source is in github.
In fact Joons, the processing wrapper, has been updated for processing 3 within the last 10 days: https://github.com/joonhyublee/joons-renderer/pull/12
joons-renderer looks like that stuff they did back in the 90ties. love it!
5 -10 years from now on consumer hardware.
