Some time ago, I wrote an n-dimensional raytracer in C++. It does a fair number of things, none of them efficiently, most of the rigidly. There are a bunch of things that I wanted to do with it for a long time, but it’s been too slow and rigid to make any of those things [...]
This version simply contains some tweaks to deal with more modern C++ compilers. The documentation and its gpg signature. The source code . and its
The documentation The source code The feature set now includes: Phong shading, reflection, refraction Functional textures (including textures generated by raytracing other scenes) Cylinders (including spheres and cubes) Quadratic surfaces Regular polytopes Halfspaces Convex hulls of a sets of points Extrusions of lower-dimensional objects Intersections, unions, and complements Different colors for k-dimensional subfacets of convex [...]
Here is the source code for a fractal generator. It serves as a simple example of how to use the C++ template classes. At the right, there is an example output image.
