Deliverables Description
1st Deliverable:
Make a basic Ray-tracer that can handle spheres, account for shadows, write to an output image file format, and possibly one additional feature.
2nd Deliverable:
Update ray-tracer to handle reflection and refraction. Also handle more primitive shapes, such as polygons, cylinders, and cones. Allow for different forms of viewing surfaces, such as curved surfaces to create a fish-eye effect. We may also, time permitting, construct an input language to read in the shapes.
Note: Due to schedule constraints (and hours spent fighting floating point round-off errors) we will not be including the input language after all.
