Ray tracing triangles - CSU540 Computer Graphics - Fall 2005

Professor Futrelle

Update of 10/20/05: Larger window, black background with white explanatory text. See RTDrawer.java. See the screenshot at the end.

Professor Futrelle has written a small set of Java classes which contain and demonstrate all the code needed to ray trace a triangle in 3 dimensions. In the interest of getting this code to the class soon, it is not as thoroughly commented as it might be. So the critical information for understanding it is in the README file, linked below.

• The README file is here.
• The Javadoc is here.
• The folder containing the source and compiled files is here.
• The jar file with everything in it is here. Download it and expand it with jar xf triRayTraceWhiteText.jar.
