OpenGL Ray-tracer
An experimental Computer Graphics project that uses OpenGL for GPU-accelerated ray-tracing. This project, completed in Summer 2022 was my second attempt at implementing a ray-tracer from scratch, after my initial attempt in 2020.
This project and its development process were showcased on my YouTube channel
Features include:
- Ray-traced soft shadows
- Ray-traced global illumination
- Progressive rendering
- Ray-traced reflections (including blurry reflections based on surface roughness)
- HDR Skyboxes
- Animation rendering
- Basic Anti-aliasing
- Bloom post-processing effect
