The OpenGL-based Ray Tracing Model is a sophisticated rendering tool that leverages ray tracing techniques to achieve high-quality and realistic image synthesis. By combining the power of OpenGL and ray tracing algorithms, this project delivers stunning visuals and accurate lighting simulations.
This Project is derived from MSU CSE 472 project1.
- Realistic rendering through ray tracing, including global illumination and accurate reflections.
- Utilizes the OpenGL framework for efficient rendering and visualization.
- Support for complex materials, textures, and advanced lighting models.
- Modern GPU with support for OpenGL 4.5 or later.
- C++ compiler with C++11 support.
- OpenGL development libraries and headers.
- Clone this repository
- Build the project using the provided build scripts or CMake:
./build.shorcmake . && make - Run the executable:
./ray_tracing_model
- Define the scene geometry, materials, and lighting in the configuration files.
- Specify camera parameters to set the view and perspective of the scene.
- Launch the application:
./ray_tracing_model - Navigate the scene using mouse and keyboard controls.
- Adjust rendering settings for quality and performance.
- Initiate rendering to generate realistic images.
