Title: Advanced Ray Tracer Author: Nathan Cournia Description: A ray tracer with many features. Institution: Clemson University Class: CPSC805 - Advanced Computer Graphics Language: C++ Construction Time: 8 Hours Date Completed: May 6, 2002 Another upgrade to my ray tracer. Here's what was added: Gloss Translucency Indirect Lighting (Path Tracing) Reflect/Refracted/Indirect Light Attenuation I also started on implementing two BRDFs: Schlick's and Shirley's. I also implemented bounding spheres, but only use them when shooting photons. Not much to say for this iteration of my ray tracer. I spent most of my time working on implementing various BRDFs. I also took several hours to rewrite the lighting and shading code to make it more modular. Compiling: Just type: make For command line options type: ./yart Example invocation: ./yart -i pyramid.pov -w 640 -h 480 -a9 Source Code: cournia_yart-20020506.tar.gz (47k)
