Black hole visualization and animation

Black hole visualization is a problem of raytracing over curved spacetimes. This paper discusses the physics of light in curved spacetimes, the geometry of black holes, and the appearance of objects as viewed through a relativistic camera (the Penrose-Terrell effect). It then discusses computational...
