Hi there!

This is a fully functional object renderer (shadowing, mirror reflection, refraction, material, specular shading, etc.)

Background

• With my previous project, Funland, I got to build an immersive VR game with Unity3D. With an interest to delve into how computer graphics are rendered under the hood, I implemented this project during the course on Computer Graphics.

Intro

• This object render implements various key features to nicely render objects created in Blender.

Features

1. Accelerated Triangle-Ray intersection:

• I leveraged Axis-Aligned Bounding Box and Bounding Volume Hierarchy (like a binary tree) to implement accelerated rendering.

2. Fresnel reflection and refraction, convex & concave lensing effect:

• As shown in the rendered image, we could see the convex and concave lensing effect. Moreover, the sphere demonstrates the Fresnel reflection and refraction effect.

3. Mirror reflection, specular shading, shadowing:

• As shown above, we could clearly see the mirror reflection effect. Moreover, the spheres have realistic specular shading and shadowing.
