We present a general formulation for ray-tracing calculations in curved
space-time. The formulation takes full account of relativistic effects in the
photon transport and the relative motions of the emitters and the
light-of-sight absorbing material. We apply the formulation to calculate the
emission from accretion disks and tori around rotating black holes.
