CS 6620 Homework 2
Orthographic Ray Tracing with Motion Blur

Spring 2003

Description:

This assignment combines basic orthographic projection ray tracing with motion blur. The motion blur uses a dynamic sphere class whose center position is a function of time. Both pixel space and time are sampled to simulate quick opening and closing of a camera shutter. I have not yet implemened shading in this version of my ray tracer, so some banding of the images has occurred.

The following images were created using jittered sampling and b_spline filtering. Stationary triangles have been included to provide a contrast to the blurred spheres.






Motion blur with three spheres and 100 samples per pixel. The time funtion moves each sphere equally in the x, y, and z direction.




Motion blur with three spheres and 100 samples per pixel. The time funtion moves each sphere equally in the x, y, and z direction. A stationary triangle has been added to the scene. This image has slightly different colors assigned to the spheres.




Motion blur with three spheres and 100 samples per pixel. The time funtion moves spheres unequally in the x and y direction. This image has slightly different colors assigned to the spheres.




Same as above, but with smaller time interval.




Motion blur with three spheres and 100 samples per pixel. The time funtion moves each sphere in different directions.
