Why I've Been So Busy Pt1: Ray Tracing

I've been super busy over the last semester.  The main reason would be my graphics class.  The main project is building a ray tracer.  Here are pictures from start to finish.

Circle Intersections Working

Triangle Intersection Working

Multiple Triangle Intersections

First 3D Object: Lambertian Shading

Multiple Sphere Intersection

1000 Spheres

Blinn-Phong Shading Working

Mirrors Working

First part of the project done (many hours later), next step bounding volume hierarchy, distributed rays, instancing and loading meshes. 

BVH working, 1 Million Spheres taking about 12 minutes, 10 depth reflections picture size 1000x1000

Soft Shadows and Instancing

Full Screen Photo Gallery - I made some of these to be wallpapers so feel free to use them as such.  Otherwise if you use them anywhere else just give me some credit.
