Homework 2 - Orthographic Ray Tracer & Motion Blur
The following pictures demonstrate a simple Orthographic Ray tracer displaying
spheres and triangles, and also motion blur.
Reproduction of book example image - using no filtering (has jaggies)
Reproduction of book image - using b-spline filtering (625 samples per
pixel)
Motion Blurred Image - This image shows how we can represent motion blurring
by adding time as another dimension of our sampeling process. Basically,
I took 225 jittered time instances, shuffled them and then paired each
time with one of the 225 samples for a pixel. Depending on where
the sphere or triangle was at the given time instance a colored or black
rgb value would be returned. These values are averaged,
and create some areas that are darker than others creating a blurring effect.
This is basically what happens with a camera on film when things move while
the shutter is open.
