CSCI 250 Raytracing Program—Initial Steps

Date Due: 2 May 2014

You are to write a program that reads the same files used in your first rendering assignment assignment and this time generates raytraced images of the scenes described. Your program should at a minimum be able to raytrace spheres and polygons. Credit will be assigned as follows:

Program design & style	20%
Compiles and runs	20%
Setting up the viewing framework:	20%
Ray-object intersection routines	20%
Shadow rays	10%
Lighting model	10%

While this is assignment is not incredibly complex algorithmically, it is a rather large program, so you should definitely start working on it NOW!!!
