🌟 Overview

This project is an introduction to the beautiful world of ray tracing, allowing the rendering of simple computer-generated images. Ray tracing is a rendering technique that produces a high degree of visual realism by tracing the path of light rays and simulating their interactions with virtual objects.

🎨 Features

• 🟢 Rendering of basic geometric shapes:
  • Spheres
  • Planes
  • Cylinders
• 💡 Light management:
  • Ambient lighting
  • Diffuse lighting
  • Hard shadows
• 🎥 Camera with adjustable field of view
• 📜 Scene description using custom .rt configuration files
• 🕹️ Interactive scene navigation:
  • Move camera with WASD keys
  • Rotate camera with arrow keys
  • Select and modify objects
