Software Raytracer

This raytracer was an educational assignment. The aim of this assignment was to implement a software raytracer with the following features:

• Well-designed architecture
• Support for point- and area (volumetric) lights
• Support for the following mathematical shapes:
• Spheres
• Boxes
• Planes
• Hard & soft shadows
• Lighting model (Phong in this case)
• Reflections
• Refraction
• Material definitions supporting arbitrary combinations and values of reflectivity, refractivity, reflective diffuseness, refractive diffuseness
• Visualization of traced rays in a top-down view

Additionally, this project includes:

• Depth of Field
• Anti-Aliasing
• Dynamic multi-threading
