This is a ray tracer written in C++ from the scratch. It is an extension of the my final project of CSCI 580: 3-D Graphics and Rendering course from University of Southern California.
Key features:
- Support of triangle surface
- Direct illumination by ray tracing with area light source (soft shadow)
- Antialiasing by supersampling
- Reflection and refraction from specular and transparent interfaces (Fresnel equation)
- Indirect illumination by distribute ray tracing and photon map
- Caustic by direct visualization of photon map
- OpenMP multithread for the ray tracing part
- CUDA C acceleration for ray tracing (in cuda folder)
