a realtime raytracer

This is not strictly speaking relevant to Terasology; yet those who read this may be interested.

Neat! Very psychedelic, some of those videos in particular, interesting stuff

Do you have a specific goal in mind, or are you looking for a project to maybe contribute to?

quid pro quo

If someone from Terasology is willing to trade, I will build Terasology and hack on it a bit. By "trade", I mean build my code and run the demo. Certainly we should talk. I have learned quite a bit from Minecraft and related projects. At first I was amazed at the landscapes and the seeming occlusion culling -- since I didn't know about the surface extraction. Last year I worked on a hybrid tracer/rasterizer http://code.google.com/p/xolotl-hybrid/ before deciding to return to a pure tracer. Maybe I should resurrect that and show it to you.

Interested and willing, if I can just find the time

Post details away and maybe somebody else will be able to play with it sooner, or me later!
