Java-Raytracer: JTrace

This is a raytracer written in Java. It supports various objects and volumes:

• Sphere
• 3D Cubic Bezier Patch
• Plane
• Triangle

It computes the lighting with phong shading model with light occlusion test for shadows. Te rendering is incremental and requires different pass to complete a single frame, this improves the interactivity when the full frame rendering delay is too high.
