This folder has screenshots of various milestones in the development of the development of this raytracer, so I can see how far I've come.
| Image | Date | Description |
|---|---|---|
 |
2021-01-06T01:32 | The first image generated by the render loop, before we even have any actual raytraces |
 |
2021-01-06T01:36 | A gradient in the x direction, to confirm we're writing meaningful data to the film |
 |
2021-01-06T02:11 | Added Spectrum color to the film and ray tracer, along with a sample gradient |
 |
2021-01-06T21:35 | Ray->Sphere intersections, along with tweaking the rays generated by the camera |
 |
2021-01-06T23:23 | Hacked in a simple shading method to test the sphere intersection normal calculation |
 |
2021-01-07T02:15 | Added a simple PrimitiveList shape for multiple objects, and implemented point lights |
 |
2021-01-15T02:35 | Implements camera transforms for a perspective camera correctly, so we can have field-of-view |
 |
2021-01-21T01:58 | After working through subtle transform bugs, occlusion is working, meaning we cast shadows! |
 |
2021-01-21T01:58 | Specular reflection! Completely skips BSDFs / material properties |
 |
2021-01-26T00:43 | Implemented matte materials (angle 1) |
 |
2021-01-26T00:44 | Implemented matte materials (angle 2) |
 |
2021-01-26T20:54 | Implemented Oren-nayar microfacet, to control roughness |
 |
2021-01-26T23:47 | Implemented disk collision |
 |
2021-01-27T19:18 | Triangle meshes, and the stanford bunny! (180+ seconds to render!) |
 |
2021-01-28T21:56 | Triangle meshes, now accelerated by a BVH! (4 seconds to render!) |
 |
2021-01-28T22:48 | Full res bun. 47 seconds to render in release mode. |
 |
2021-01-29T22:48 | First pass at pure transmission. Things are really dark because I don't have lots of lights, and I'm not mixing it correctly. |
 |
2021-01-30T00:55 | More materials! Mirrors, Plastics, and Glass, oh my! |
