The process is fairly simple. Files are concatenated and that blob is then chunked into multiple-of-16KiB-sized pieces. Each piece is hashed. The hashes are concatenated and embedded as string in the torrent file. Then a specific subdictionary of the torrent file including the piece hashes, filenames and the length of the data is hashed to yield the infohash. Magnets only convey the infohash. .torrent files convey the whole metadata, including the pieces hash string.
