A ray tracer implemented in C++. It traverses a scene file described by a Lua based DSL. This was written for a project for the CS 488 course at the University of Waterloo.

Check out the site to see some of the images rendered with the ray tracer!

Run make in the src directory to compile the program.

To run the program (<scene> is the lua scene file):

./rt <scene>.lua
