CS413 Assignment 3: Vanilla Ray Tracer

General Configurations:
# Light is at [4,4,4], color [1,1,1]
# Eye [0,5,2], Look-at [0,0,0], Up [0,0,1]
# Image plane is at [0,4,2] (distance of 1 from eye), Dimensions 2x2 (width and height)
# Development Platform: Visual C++ 8, Release build

1. Test 1

   Configuration: All materials shaded by Phong Model, pixel color values are clamped to maximum (if any component > 1)
   
   Runtime: Ray casting: 168 ms.
   

2. Test 2

   Configuration: All materials shaded by Phong Model, pixel color values divided by max component of each channel, then mapped by a log function.
   
   Runtime: Ray Casting: 175 ms.
   

3. Test 3

   Configuration: All materials shaded by Phong Model, pixel color values divided by max component of each channel, then mapped by a log function.
   With shadows enabled.
   
   Runtime: Ray casting: 321 ms.
   

4. Test 4

   Configuration: All materials shaded by Phong Model, pixel color values divided by max component of each channel, then mapped by a log function.
   Added some more premitives with shadows and reflection (3 bounces max)
   
   Runtime: Ray casting: 321 ms.
