CPU-based-Ray-Tracing

A raytracer that utilizes only the CPU to render simple 3D models and environments in both sequential and multithreading modes.

Features

• Parallelised: Runs in a multi-threaded environment (if enabled) for a smoother real time rendering
• Interactive: Use arrow keys (or WASD keys) to move around, and J&L keys to adjust brightness (Gamma correction)
• Realistic: Simulates lightning concepts such as Phong Reflection Model and Schlick’s approximation

Demo
