Rays - A realtime gpu-raytracer for spheres.

A implementation of a sphere raytracer, running almost entirely on the gpu.

Example scene

Features

• Realtime rendering with a simple scene editor included; this means camera, materials, as well as the spheres are changable in real time.
• PBR based materials (though not even close to being complete)
• GPU driven raytracing, vastly increasing the performance in contrast to cpu-side rendering

Resources

The implementation wouldn't have been possible without the following resources:

• A good beginner implementation Ray Tracing in One Weekend
• The chernos raytracing code/series found here
• The well-known GPU gems from nvidia
