Raytracing: Revisited Part 7

End of the semester came finally :D. In the final part of our homeworks, we have implemented; Object Lights ( Sphere and Mesh) Monte Carlo Sampling Path Tracing I struggled a lot as always and want to share what I did in this part. I got some weird results while implementing. This homework is divided

Raytracing Revisited: Part 6

In this part, we have added Bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) to our ray tracers. This homework was simpler than the previous work we had done. We have added; Phong Modified Phong Blinn – Phong Modified Blinn – Phong Torrance – Sparrow Models as BRDF functions. I started with adding new functions for reading BRDF

RayTracing Revisited: Part 5

I am delivering this part of the homework a couple of minutes late(update: I finished in 5.29 AM 😀) because I was dealing with some artifacts in my resulting images. This has caused me to panic a little so I’m taking a deep breath and going to explain the difficulties I’ve encountered and how I

RayTracing Revisited: Part 4

It is 11:50 PM and I’ve managed to submit my code before the deadline this time. This week was about textures. We have implemented; Background Textures for rays not hitting any objects Diffuse reflectance maps for manipulating reflectance coefficient (replacing or blending) Completely using texture color on an object (replace_all) Normal Maps Bump Maps Procedural

Raytracing Revisited

In Spring 2020-2021, I took Advanced Ray Tracing course in our department. Throughout this course, we were supposed to implement a Ray Tracer project and add new features to it in every homework. I opened a repository in github. And we also had to record our progress with blog posts. So here are my blog

Ray Tracing: Revisited Part 3

In this part of the project, we had to implement; Transformations Instancing Multisampling Depth Of Field Area Lights Motion Blur Glossy Reflections I’m delivering this part in OdtuClass today (10/05/2021) because I could not debug some problems that I was facing. I didn’t want to publish an unfinished work so I tried to debug them

Ray Tracer: Revisited Part 2

IMPORTANT NOTE In this two weeks, I was trying to implement a BVH tree with GLSL shaders. And then, I was going to implement recursive ray tracing (I failed :D). I immediately initiated another RayTracer project which runs on CPU. My CPU project runs a lot faster than GPU implementation. This proves that I need

Ray Tracing: Revisited Part 1

I have been working on the first homework and since I was trying new things, I could not start writing my experiences earlier. I think now I can start explaining my initial experience in Advanced Ray Tracing course. I used to struggle a lot setting up my development environment when I was younger, I still

Countdown Prototype

It is just a prototype that I’ve implemented for countdown prototype challenge in learn.unity. It has a simple counter for each box and if the color of the ball thrown by the player matches the container’s color, then player scores. Game is played by clicking onto the ball and throwing it to the containers. According

Unity Learning Journey: The Watchman

I also started learning Unity Engine. I’m working on a prototype which I call “The Watchman”. I plan it to be a third person game where The Watchman(blue pill) tries to defend a path from incoming enemy waves(red pills). I have implemented camera movements by searching how to do that on the internet and found
