RAY TRACING

 

Type: Computer Graphics Project · DigiPen

​

Subject: CS500

​

Engine: C++ (created from scratch)

​

Description: Implementation of a ray tracing algorithm able to generate images demonstrating lighting and modeling techniques not found in traditional real-time graphics. Includes solid modeling, intersection calculations, illumination models, ray-distribution techniques and performance optimization.

​

Implementation:

• Shape Intersection (Polygon, Sphere, Cylinder, Ellipsoid...)

• Phong Illumination Model (Diffuse, Specular, Shadows)

• Distributed Ray Tracing (Random Oversampling)

  • Fuzzy Reflection (Glossiness)

  • Fuzzy Refraction

  • Soft-Shadows (Penumbra)

  • Depth of Field

  • Antialiasing (Jitter Multisampling)

  • Lens/Aperture Shapes (Square, Circle, Hexagon...)

• Parallel Rendering (Multithreading, Multiple Workstations...)
