Ray Tracing Version 1.0

Ray Tracing, Version 1.0

Goal: Ray trace a scene where

the only object in the scene is the generic sphere

the only attribute of the generic sphere is an assigned (emissive) color

the camera is set up on the positive z axis, looking toward the origin

Ray Tracing Tools:

Set up and thoroughly test classes for

Point

Vector

Color3

Ray

Matrix_4x4

SphereInfo

Specifics:

Set up a directory for Version 1.0 of your ray tracer, which will contain
- driver program (rt_v1.0.cpp)
- current version of ray tracing tools (header and implementation files)
- makefile
Set up a separate directory for RayTools, where you will copy your current version of ray_tracing_tools.* and test any new methods or classes that have been added since last test. This is extremely important! You will have enough to worry about in your ray tracer without having to question whether or not the trouble (and there will be trouble) is with your ray tracing tools.

Driver Program:
Begin with the skeleton driver program /classes/cs3114/RayTracing/Projects/rt_v1.0.cpp and fill in the details, a few at a time. Write a makefile to use with this driver program, or copy the one provided in the same directory. Compile and make sure it runs correctly.
Set up a Working directory and make a subdirectory v1.0 under it. When you have version 1.0 working correctly, copy all files pertaining to it, including the makefile, to that directory and don't touch it!

Submitting the Project:

Submit these files to directory Version1 of your hw directory:

rt_v1.0.cpp

ray_tracing_tools.h

ray_tracing_tools.cpp

makefile
