This series of tutorials explains how to write a ray tracer, step by step. Topics covered include ray-sphere intersection, ray-plane interesection, ray-triangle interesction, ray-cylindar interesction, diffuse shading, specular shading, shadows, directional lights, spotlights, reflections, camera movement / rotation and optimization. C++ source code for Mac OS X is included (using GLUT, so it should be easy to port). The examples have also been ported to Windows and SDL.
This image is the inside of a reflective cube with slightly curved walls, with a sphere inside of it. The image was produced with a ray tracer described in tutorial. Go to the ray tracing programming tutorial (with C++ source code for Mac OS X, Windows and SDL and also Java).

Feedback illustrates how to create a warping feedback effect (ala G-Force or Fractogroovalicious,) in OpenGL by rendering the screen to a texture and applying that texture to a wapring surface.
C++ source code using OpenGL / GLUT is included.
Download Feedback with source (for Mac OS X, tricky to compile in windows due to bugs in MS Visual Studio glut.h). |
