Raytracer

Project 2 for graphics is a raytracer (definition). Here are some images I made with my raytracer:

This image is what happens when four reflective spheres are stacked in a tetrahedral shape. There are three triangles outside three of the four openings in the tetrahedron's sides, and the fourth side is where the camera is looking in. A clearer view of the setup is below:

 

This is a demonstration of soft shadows. Two spotlights are the only light sources in the scene.

 

Here is another image of the same fractal phenomenon as above, with colored spheres instead of completely reflective ones.

 

This is the first image I made after I got reflections working. Nothing too special.
