Completed stages

Tick the stages bellow that you have completed so we know what to mark (by editing README.md). At most 9 marks can be chosen in total for stage three. If you complete more than this many marks, pick your best one(s) to be marked!

Stage 1

• Stage 1.1 - Familiarise yourself with the template
• Stage 1.2 - Implement vector mathematics
• Stage 1.3 - Fire a ray for each pixel
• Stage 1.4 - Calculate ray-entity intersections
• Stage 1.5 - Output primitives as solid colours

Stage 2

• Stage 2.1 - Diffuse materials
• Stage 2.2 - Shadow rays
• Stage 2.3 - Reflective materials
• Stage 2.4 - Refractive materials
• Stage 2.5 - The Fresnel effect
• Stage 2.6 - Anti-aliasing

Stage 3

• Option A - Emissive materials (+6)
• Option B - Ambient lighting/occlusion (+6)
• Option C - OBJ models (+6)
• Option D - Glossy materials (+3)
• Option E - Custom camera orientation (+3)
• Option F - Beer's law (+3)
• Option G - Depth of field (+3)

Please summarise your approach(es) to stage 3 here.

Final scene render

Be sure to replace /images/final_scene.png with your final render so it shows up here.

This render took x minutes and y seconds on my PC.

I used the following command to render the image exactly as shown:

dotnet run -- (... your command line args)

Sample outputs

We have provided you with some sample tests located at /tests/*. So you have some point of comparison, here are the outputs our ray tracer solution produces for given command line inputs (for the first two stages, left and right respectively):

Sample 1

dotnet run -- -f tests/sample_scene_1.txt -o images/sample_scene_1.png -x 4

Sample 2

dotnet run -- -f tests/sample_scene_2.txt -o images/sample_scene_2.png -x 4
