-A project for a final year module at University. Features included shadows, reflections, transparency and motion blur (including rolling shutter). +A project for an Adanced Computer Graphics module final year module at University (one of my most favourite modules), taught by [Ken Cameron](https://researchportal.bath.ac.uk/en/persons/ken-cameron). Features included shadows, reflections, transparency and motion blur (including rolling shutter).
We had to submit the code and a report, and the week after a final image that would demonstrate the functions of our ray tracer. I can't share the code -for the project, to stop future students copying the code, but I can share the final image. +for the project, to stop future students copying, but I can share the final image.
-Unfortunutly I discovered a memory leak in my ray tracer, which hindered the quality of the final image (generating it used all 64GB of memory in my -laptop!). Otherwise I would've been able to use a greater number of samples for the motion blur, and produced longer star streaks. +Unfortunutly I discovered a memory leak in my ray tracer a week for the coursework was due in, which hindered the quality of the final image I could produce (generating +it used all 64GB of memory in my laptop!).

++One day I might revisit it to try and hunt out that memory leak.
