MiniRT — Ray Tracer in C

Computer graphics from first principles. MiniRT implements a ray tracer in pure C, with no rendering library doing the heavy lifting.

Built from scratch

  • Ray–object intersection for spheres, planes and cylinders.
  • Phong shading with diffuse and specular terms, hard shadows and material reflections.
  • .rt scene parser — describe a scene in a text file and render it.

The dragon and wolf renders are direct output. This project is the low-level, mathematical counterweight to my ML work — and the renders double as artwork across the site.
