Abstract: The two level ray tracing algorithm is described in the article. Its usage is important for interactive rendering of dynamic geometry. The results of rendering of dynamic scenes are discussed. Also this algorithm is effectively applied to construction of a optical simulation plugin to famous CAD system CATIA. The further elaboration of this approach resulted in Optical elements (OPTOS) concept implementation. The optical elements allow taking into account such complex physical phenomena as light polarization, volume scattering, wave effects etc. in optical simulation.
