Ray Tracing

 

I took a graduate course a few terms ago on advanced rendering techniques at Drexel (CS 636), which was primarily focused on ray tracing. Writing a ray tracer was on my bucket list, and this was one of the most fun courses I have taken to date at Drexel or elsewhere.

This is the final image from my extra credit project at the end of the course.
