RayTraccio

It's a raytracing program that supports

• Scenes with: One Camera, One 3D shape, Many Lights
• First reflection
• A number of shapes:
  • Quadric (generic support for spheres, paraboloids, hyperboloids, cones, saddles, ...)
  • Plane
  • CSG Union (draws various sub-shapes altogether)
  • CSG Intersection (intersecates the sub-shapes)
  • CSG Difference (substract the sub-shapes from the first sub-shape)
  • Generic shapes up to 4th degree (as of now)
• A number of procedural textures:
  • Plain
  • Checker (draws the two sub-textures checkered along all the axes)
  • Stripes (draws the two sub-textures divided in stripes along Y axes)
  • Mix (multiplies the colors of the two sub-textures)

Did I mention that it uses it's own Scene Definition Language to easily create scenes? Look at the default example!
