Ray tracing is a technique for generating an image by tracing the path of light as pixels in an image plane, simulating effects like reflections and shadows. Path tracing, on the other hand, is a more comprehensive method that extends ray tracing by simulating the paths of many rays per pixel to produce more realistic lighting and shading.
