OO Parallel RayTracer

This is a project I worked on the last fall semester of my college career. I was more interested in effects than objects. Therefore I only had two primitive objects: a Sphere, and a Plane. Hey, they worked for me. Here is a complete run down of the project:

• Written almost entirely in C++
• Ran on a network of 30 DEC3000 machines using PVM
• Had a fairly complete scripting language
• Provided color and procedural texturing
• Rendered refractive objects as well as reflective

Here are some images you might like to see.

• Initial color runs One and Two.
• Refractive Tests One, Two and Three.
• Procedural Texture Tests One, Two, Three, Four and Five.
• Don't try this at home kids. Wrapping a light with a procedural texture.
• Planetary Weirdness One, Two and Three.
• My best. I'm most proud of this one.
