Raytracer Ray Tracing, Radiosity, and Photon Mapping in C++ and OpenGL.

Overview

This was a homework assignment for Advanced Computer Graphics. This project focused on implementing rendering using ray tracing, radiosity, and photon mapping.

My Contributions

Ray Tracing

• Ray-sphere intersection testing
• Shadow and reflective rays
• Distribution ray tracing for soft shadows and antialiasing
• Stratified random sampling

Radiosity

• Form factor computation
• Iterative radiosity solving
• Occlusion ray casting

Photon Mapping

• Photon distribution throughout the scene
• Photon collection using a k-d tree
