TOY RAYTRACER

Languages
C++
 

About
I always have been attracted by how Raytracing works, even before entering college; that is why I started reading some books and slides in my spare time to implement a fully functional  Raytracer. It was entirely done in C++, and it was implemented in the CPU using SFML as a helping library. Also, as it may take some time to render these images, I programmed a bot of Telegram in Python that notified my mobile phone when the rendering ended. It was a very fun project and I recommend everyone to implement it!
 

Features

Here you will find some of the worth to mention features I implemented:

  • Support for boxes, spheres and triangles

  • Support for OBJ models

  • Basic lights

  • Diffuse materials

  • Metallic materials

  • Dielectric materials

  • Anti-aliasing

​​

Future work

There are two main things I would like to make in this Raytracer, but I may leave them for another project, here they are:

  • Implement it with a kdtree

  • Implement the Raytracer in GPU
