Overview

#

This is a 2D Ray Tracer I implemented as my third project at BUAS in my first year. The renderer operates entirely on the CPU, making use of an Open GL template to display the image. I then build a simple car game to showcase the capabilites of the renderer

Goals

#

• This was my first contact with ray tracing, helping me grasp the fundamental concepts of it

• Improving C++ skills and gaining experience with CPU-based algorithm optimization techniques

Features

#

• Hard/Soft shadows support

• Support for mirror surfaces

• Ray intersection for lines and circles

• Optimizated for supporting a large number of primitives/ lights

• Point/ Spot lights

• A really cool car game that makes use of those features
