Image burn about ray-tracing-renderer

Hi @ManishJu , thanks for describing the issue. I've run into the same bug before but it only happened rarely and inconsistently. Thankfully you figured out how to consistently reproduce it.

I loaded the scene on my computer, but the bug isn't appearing. It is probably hardware and scene dependent. But fortunately we might have a solution. I think this happens because of a division by zero in the reproject shader.

If you replace both instances of sum > 0.0 with sum > 0.001 (or some other small number), does that fix the issue?

No it does not solve the issue. I changed the 2 instances as you mentioned (even in different combinations) in that file and it did not work. The burn still starts after zooming in and out. Also I tested this on 3 browsers with stable build : Chromium, Firefox and Vivaldi and I still get the burn.

I think I have found a way to reproduce it more elegantly .
In the test scene, try to get inside and out of any of the geometries (spheres or cuboids your choice). No need of new texture or changes that I posted. As soon as you get out the burn starts. Make sure only to zoom out. If you move the orbital camera a little along the horizontal axis the burn will stop . Is this because there is no light inside the geometries and the intersection test goes wrong when we come out of those geometries ?
