Convex Screen Shots
These pictures were made before mip-mapping, depth attenuation,
and surface waves were implemented.
The Pool
The pictures above demonstrate on-the-fly CSG.
Starting with the scene on the left, the cylindrical tunnel
was simply rotated to obtain the scene on the right.
Moving a brick column into the water to demonstrate refraction
-- from above, the column appears to bend at the water's surface (left).
From below the surface we see both refraction and total internal
reflection (right).
Spheregatory
This surreal world contains a conical light source, which the
user may "carry" like a flashlight.
Hall of Mirrors
This indulgent scene was created to show off what ray-tracers
do best!
