Anti-aliased-Ray-Tracing

A ray tracing system which parses 3D scene described with orientation of geometric primitives and allows the user to explore in real-time the CPU based ray traced scene with ultra high realism.

Features

• CPU based ray tracer built from scratch.
• Users can explore the ray-traced world in real-time using keyboard control.
• Parallelises the task of tracing ray by using all of the available CPU cores.
• Provides a framework that can be expanded with new geometric primitives which enables it to be able to render more complex scenes.
• Anti-aliasing level can be controlled.

Dependencies

The project requires:

• Java SE 7

How to use

The entry point is com.raytracing.main.Main.

The camera controls are as following-

• w: forward
• a: left
• s: back
• d: right
• left arrow / right arrow: yaw
• up arrow / down arrow: pitch
• , / . : roll
• [ / ]: fly
• 0: reset camera position and orientation

Other controls-

• g: toggle fast rendering on or off. In fast rendering mode, only ray tracking is executed(no reflection or refraction is allowed)
• h: enable anti-aliasing
• j: disable anti-aliasing
