Raytracer
Unless otherwise noted, the scenes were rendered in a few seconds or less.
This is not how an actual raytracer should behave. However, by changing the threshold at which self-shadowing is allowed, we were able to create a nice effect.

The raytracer allows arbitrary scaling, rotating, and translating.

Demonstration of anti-aliasing. Note the subtle differences on the edges of the square. This becomes more apparent once the image is zoomed in. Anti-aliased images took about 10 seconds.

A basic cube shown at an angle. Note that, for each triangle drawn, the raytracer allows material properties to be specified.
