Public Member Functions

 WhittedTracer (Scene *scene, Image *img)
 Creates a Whitted raytracer.
virtual ~WhittedTracer ()
 Destructor.
void computeImage ()
 Raytraces the scene by calling tracePixel for every pixel in the output image.

Protected Member Functions

Color trace (int x, int y)
 Computes the color of the pixel at (x,y).
Color trace (const Ray &ray, int depth)
 Computes the radiance returned by tracing the ray r.
Color directIllumination (const Intersection &is)
 Computes the shading at an intersection point by adding the light from each light source.
Ray getShadowRay (const Intersection &is, PointLight *light) const
 Sets up a shadow ray from an intersection point to a point light source.
Ray getReflectedRay (const Intersection &is) const
 Helper function that computes the reflected view direction and sets up a ray with the correct parameters.
