ReeTracer

Flash raytracing engine by Qronicle

Version 0.92012/01/23

• Improved ambient occlusion mapping (no more bleeding of unrendered areas)
• Added status text
• Added Anti Aliasing phases
• AA Phase 1: All primitive border pixels are rendered with AA (4 samples)
• AA Phase 2: All other pixels are rendered with AA (4 samples)

Scene is rendered with five gray planes and 10 spheres with a solid color or wood texture and normal map, 20% chance of 50% reflection. Three point lights are used for smoother shadows.

Version 0.82012/01/16

• Three pass system
• First pass renders very quick preview and calculates ambient mapping texture sizes
• Second pass renders the ambient occlusion for primary rays. After this pass the ambient occlusion is blurred.
• Third pass renders the full scene and applies the calculated ambient values

Scene is rendered with five gray planes and 10 spheres with a solid color or wood texture and normal map, 20% chance of 50% reflection. Three point lights are used for smoother shadows.

Version 0.72012/01/16

• Improved ambient occlusion
• Improved wood texture

Scene is rendered with five gray planes and 10 spheres with a solid color or wood texture and normal map, 30% chance of 70% reflection. Three point lights are used for smoother shadows.

Version 0.62012/01/15

• Spherical texture mapping
• Spherical bump mapping from normal map
• Phong shading

Scene is rendered with three gray planes and 10 spheres with wood texture and normal map, 30% chance of 70% reflection. Three point lights are used for smoother shadows.

Version 0.52012/01/15

• Removed clay render mode
• Merged ambient occlusion with diffuse rendering
• Added sphere UV mapping
• Added lousy implementation of bump mapping

Scene is rendered with three gray planes and 10 spheres with random colors, 30% chance of 70% reflection and 50% chance of bumpmapping (5 indented lines in the sphere). Ambient occlusion is set to 40%. Three point lights are used for smoother shadows.

Version 0.42012/01/11

• Added dodgy ambient occlusion
• Set temporary clay render mode (all diffuse colors are white, no light sources or reflections)

Scene is rendered with three planes and 10 spheres.

Version 0.32012/01/08

• Added plane primitive
• Added reflections

Scene is rendered with two planes (horizontal plane is reflective) and 10 spheres with random colors, 30% chance of 70% reflection. One point light is used.

Version 0.22012/01/07

• Added point lights

Scene is rendered with 10 spheres with random colors and two point lights (one double as bright).

Version 0.12012/01/07

• Raytrace loop
• Sphere primitive
• Directional light

Scene is rendered with 10 spheres with random colors and one directional light.
