Ray tracing is a rendering technique for generating an image by tracing the path of light as pixels in an image plane and simulating the effects of its encounters with virtual objects.
This project was done by Ehud Gershony & Yishai Badichi (@badishay), undergraduate students in software engineering as part of the "Introduction of Software Proramming" course at the Lev Academic Center.
Moderator: Mr. Eliezer Gensburger.
The project creating an image from a 3D graphic scene using Ray Tracing technique that uses linear algebra and SOLID principles, design pattern and more.
• All functions returns in new parameters always - includes the functions of connection / subtraction, or cross product (except normalization performed on the organ itself).
• Create settersOnly when he had to (of course every variable we createdgetter).
• We tried to use variable names like Dr. Alishi's presentation structure.
• Explanations in each function what its function is (simple classes we did not explain, except the lower classes).
• Java doc. Explaining each class and each pon formally.
• We added the department Quadrangle (Square) and it will help us in the final project.
- We improved the shade (soft shadow), the shadow that will not always look the same.
- We improved the polishing surface (Glossy Surface), appearance of the polishing surface .
- We improved on Diffuse Glass, reflection through non-opaque geometry.
Creating a 5 ball scene and a 2 shot point l ight Inside the white / diamond and yellow ball, and a shot spotlight All over the scene.
Creating a similar scene, but we realized what it was about a camera placement in geometry, we wrapped some bullets and the camera inside a big ball.
