Artikeln beskriver exakt vad det var jag sa.

"Rasterization or Rasterisation is the task of taking an image described in a vector graphics format (shapes) and converting it into a raster image (pixels or dots) for output on a video display or printer, or for storage in a bitmap file format."

Raytracing beräknar vinklarna på hur ljus studsar och har inget med rastrering eller rendering att göra.

Du kanske borde använda google själv och läsa lite. Efter du läst tänka igenom så du förstår vad dom snackar om.
Första länken på google förklarar exakt det jag försökte få dig att förstå

"I don't think of this as "ray tracing vs. rasterization". I think of it as ray tracing and rasterization. Rasterization hardware can be used to accelerate the intersection and lighting calculations that are part of ray tracing. In particular, the initial visibility calculations - what's in front - are best done with rasterization. Reflections, transparency, etc, can be done with ray tracing shader programs."

"Ray tracing offers a fairly long list of advantages over rasterization. The fundamental difference is that rasterization can only look at a single triangle at a time. However, most effects require access to at least two triangles: e.g. casting a shadow from one triangle to the other, computing the reflection of one triangle off of another, or simulating the indirect illumination due to light bouncing between all triangles in the scene.

Rasterization must do various tricks to even approximate these effects, e.g. using reflections maps instead of real reflection. For changing environments these maps must be re-computed for every frame using costly additional rendering passes. But even worse, they are simply incorrect for almost all geometry, in particular for close-by or curved objects. Try rendering a car that reflects the street correctly -- games don't, because they can't."

Sedan tvekar jag starkt på att du jobbat med det i 10år. Går du igenom grunderna för 3D rendering så vet man EXAKT vad ray tracing är och hur det fungerar, och man kommer aldrig i hela sitt liv säga att det kommer ersätta polygoner.
