Setting the Scene

This is just a basic setup in OpenGL with some basic geometry to get the coordinates of objects in the scene in preparation for the real ray tracing.

Spheres:

• Both are unit spheres.
• The front orange sphere has been translated from the origin to (0.2, 0.5, 1.5)
• The back pink sphere has been translated from the origin to (-1.35,-0.3, -0.3)

Floor:

• The was a unit cube scaled out to (6.0, 0.5, 13.0)
• The floor was translated down from the origin to (-0.15, -3.0, 0.0)

Light:

• The light has ambience, diffuse, specular highlights, and shininess turned on so the spheres look somewhat realistic and somewhat bright. All of the objects also have similar material properties.
• The light position is (0.5, 4.0, 5.0)

Camera:

• Eyepoint: (0.0, 0.0, 5.0)
• Center: (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
• Up: (0.0, 1.0, 0.0)
