TrayRacer (399 Kb)
This was our second year Computer Science Project. Basically, it's a ray-tracer with non-planar projection. You set up a file
with all your objects, and use the command-line interface to set various options, like gouraud shading, resolution, etc. It
contains a copy of our report, which also explains how to set up your file and all that. There's a text version of the report,
without pictures, and a WordPerfect version, with pictures.
