traceify

traceify is a simple raytracer written in C++.

Features

• Geometric Primitives: Spheres, infinite planes
• Shading: Diffuse (Lambertian), Specular (Phong)
• Point Lights
• Shadows
• Reflections
• Arbitary camera positioning and rotation
• Simple bounding boxes for groups of primitives (clusters)
• Super-sampling: 4x, adaptive up to 16x and 64x with optional jitter

Short-term goals

• Add more primitives: Triangles, Cylinders and Tori
• Efficient bounding-box hierarchy
• Transparency
• Refraction
• Soft shadows (area lights)
• Depth of field
• Texture Mapping
• Bump mapping
• Multi-threaded rendering

Long-term goals

• Add Bézier Patches as primitives
• Separate scene data from code i.e. create an external scene data format
• Triangle-based mesh representaiton
• Displacement mapping
• Ability to import meshes
• Add the ability to render on the GPU
• Work towards being able to import scenes from Blender?
