# pure-java-raytracer

An experimental Ray tracer I made completely from scratch, without any external libraries.  

This program was made for testing/learning purposes only, which is why it runs mostly single-threaded on the CPU.  

I covered the development of this engine in [this video on my YouTube channel.

## Features:

 - Diffuse lighting

 - Specular lighting

 - Ray-traced shadows

 - Ray-traced recursive reflections

 - HDRI Skybox rendering

 - Bloom post-processing effect

 - Image rendering (any resolution)

 - Animated image sequence rendering (any resolution, any framerate)

Rendered images will be saved as `output.png` in the execution directory of the program and image sequences will be saved inside the `image_sequence` folder in the execution directory.
