This is just a simplistic raytracer project for my own amusement. I am currently in the process of learning to program raytracers and would appreciate any and all suggestions to make my code better! I've included several ppm files that were generated with this program.
Enjoy! :)
To use simply run the script in IDLE or via the command line, the default scene should render without a problem. This verison supports spheres as well as both Lambertian and Phong shading. To edit the scene simply use .addObject or .addLight on mscene.
- Runs a bit slow with resolutions beyond 200x200.
- Changing the aspect ratio to anything but a square (e.g. 100x100) creates weird warping of the spheres
- Adding lots of spheres can change affect the shading of all the others
