requirement

c++ 11

opengl 3.2

freeglut

glew

build

Use make command to compile. make clean & make clean_object to clean.

run

$ ./raycast [scene_option] [max_step] [additional option]

• scene_option(-d):
  • -d : default scene with rendering sphere
• max_step(a number):
  • use a number to define the maximum recursive depth of ray tracing program
• additional option:
  • +s : add shadow effect
  • +l : add reflection effect
  • +r : add refraction effect
  • +c : add chessboard object to the scene
  • +f : add diffuse reflection effect
  • +p : add anti-aliasing effect
