SC Tracer

This is a ray tracer written in C++ from the scratch. It is an extension of the my final project of CSCI 580: 3-D Graphics and Rendering course from University of Southern California.

Key features:

• Support of triangle surface
• Direct illumination by ray tracing with area light source (soft shadow)
• Antialiasing by supersampling
• Reflection and refraction from specular and transparent interfaces (Fresnel equation)
• Indirect illumination by distribute ray tracing and photon map
• Caustic by direct visualization of photon map
• OpenMP multithread for the ray tracing part
• CUDA C acceleration for ray tracing (in cuda folder)
