This is the 3th submit of my great ray tracing code. Now it features:
* Scanline culling (more speed)
* Reflective objects
* Diffuse lighting
* Specular lighting
* Ambient lighting
* Sphere objects
* Cylinder objects
* Disk objects
* plane objects
Please vote for this great code!
Note: Due to the size or complexity of this submission, the author has submitted it as a .zip file to shorten your download time. Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come
out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them. For your own safety, please:
Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
Scan the source code with Minnow's Project Scanner
If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net
including:McAfee.com

Bit still on the slow side, but like the last one this code doesn't crash my computer for some reason. So i've got to give you 5*'s i'm afraid. (ACE!) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Very cool! Everyone is trying to do real time, we need more quality renderers like this. Unfortunately I can't understand all that maths still. Can you do a ray-triangle intersection? Like, then you could load a file full or polygons and render it. That would be even cooler! 5/5 again:) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Any plans on making a full rendering program instead of just an engine set-up? If you want help with what you're doing Now3D is an awesome raytracer made in 3D, maybe the author of that would be willing to help you out. Now3D can create full-on realistic stuff. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
but hey, just with 3 cilcks i speedes up your code about 20%
replace in the whole projekt ' single' with ' double' and ' integer' with ' long'. then, you only have to chage the parameter of the unload-event back to integer.
double and longs are faster!
Mad (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
How can I add reflection and refraction to this code ?
