A simple OCaml Raytracer based on my notes from the Cambridge Graphics course and the ''Fundamental of Computer Graphics'' book.
A functional realization of a raytracer taking advantage of OCaml's module system and algebraic data types; in an attempt to generalize the interfaces of components within a raytracer.
Some features of the raytracer:
- Surfaces: Spheres and planes.
- Materials: Lambertian, Metallic and Dielectric materials.
- Camera: Defined using a viewer, view plane and projection.
- Gamma correction.
Images are stored in a PPM format, with image.ml ported from FoCS tick 5 (Thanks Anil!).
