Writeup
We completed most of the raytracing requirements:
- Ray-plane/triangle intersections
- Ray-sphere intersections
- Shading, Point Lights, Directional Lights
- Shadows
- Recursive Raytracing/Reflections
- Transformation matrices, matrix stack
- Triangle transformations
Unfortunately we ran into significant problems coding sphere transformations, despite triangle
transformations working fine. In our final submission we have included the broken transformations
for completion's sake, to show that we made an attempt at it. However, those lines are commented out.
Sphere transformations are impossible in this posted version unless the source code is modified and
uncommented.
Below are some pictures of what our raytracer can do with sphere transformations omitted.
