DalRT

DalRT is a simple ray tracing graphics library designed to be small and platform independent.

Key features

• Group tree system for efficient object intersections with many objects
• Reflections and transparency
• Sphere, quad and triangle objects
• Point and direction lights

Building

Run make to build libDalRT.a and the examples.
