I took this class with Dr. Pete Shirley. He was a very excited professor and loved talking about light and how it behaved. At one point I remember him mid sentence running into the kitchen connected to our classroom and coming back with a glass container he held up looking at it from different angles to talk about refraction.

All of the assignments were completed via blog postings. I decided to write my renderer in java for kicks, while most people chose to use C++. Looking back I slightly regret my decision since I had no experience writing "fast" java code and my renders took noticeably longer than my classmates.

Project 1

This first project samples various frequencies on the Macbeth color checker. If it passes a basic sampling check, the image color is sampled to the frame buffer. All the samples are acculumated over each time step to get a better average color. All these images were rendered at 720x480 (they seemed like good numbers). They were rendered on a Toshiba Tecra S2.
