Description
So I finally decided to mess around with the Ray Cast shaders...

IMPRESSION: It is incredibly fiddly and the results can be variable. Pretty impressive overall. Did manage to crash my PC several times whilst messing with it, but I think I've got the hang of it now, more or less.

BTW, many of the tutorials on YT about this effect are of dubious value or plain useless. This one, however, is very good: youtu.be/SjtIukxz274

I like dramatic lighting so I tried out a darker scheme with the image above. Took awhile to get the desired results.

Let me know what you think.
