If you really want to raytrace a scene, you should probably not use a real-time engine, but a raytracer. If you just want to get a huge image (larger than screen) you can use a render-target texture to render the scene into.

I wasn't around at time, but i've learnt that blindside wrote a raytracer for irrlicht(Not the same as xeffects if i'm not mistaken x] ). See [1] and bug him about it ;]
