Raytracer

The Raytracer project is a collaborative effort aiming to create a ray tracing engine using modern programming techniques.
The project focuses on implementing various features such as different materials, lighting models, and geometries.
This project was carried out by jade.magnin@epitech.eu and nathanael.moehn@epitech.eu.

Engine Features

The ray tracing engine supports various features:

Different geometries: The engine can render different geometric shapes : sphere, plane, cone and cylinder.
Materials: The engine supports different materials, each with its own light reflection characteristics like Lambertian, Dielectric or Metal.
Texture : The shapes support different textures like chessboard, image or noise.
Lighting: The engine supports different lighting models, including diffuse lighting or directional.
Image rendering: The engine renders the scene into an image with a specified width and height. See image_width and image_height in Camera.
