Ray Tracing

This repository contains various ray tracing algorithms.

• Raytracer.Simple is a simple implementation of a ray tracer.
• Raytracer is supposed to be a physics based ray tracer.

Examples

Example rendered with 16X supersampling and hard shadows. (4K)

Example rendered with 4X supersampling, Blinn-Phong specular lightning, and 64 shadow rays to approx. a soft shadow. (4K)
