There is nothing different about the raytracer here
at all. I've simply made up a new pic which I think looks cool.
The marble didn't really take off, and I still haven't done anything
that uses bump mapping yet. Honestly, the texture classes do
support it.. Honest guv.

This is the first piece of work I've done on the
raytracer in ages and all that's different is that the Noise texture has
been sped up and a wood texture has been derived from it. Soon to come
will be others such as marble.
24/4/2000
Depth of field effect has been implemented.
15/4/2000
(zoom)
(zoom)
Exactly the same image as bellow but zoomed in on the center
glass sphere.
15/4/2000
Implemented specular lighting.
01/4/2000
Bugfixes all round.
30/3/2000
A fractal texture has been implemented.
27/3/2000
Texture base class has been implemented along with the
plain and checkered textures.
19/2/2000
Object modifiers scale, rotate and translate have been
implemented
19/2/2000
Refraction has been implemented.
12/2/2000
Speeded up Vector class by removing get()s and set()s.
Objects can be merged together or deleted from one another to form more
complex shapes
05/2/2000
Speeded up the new anti-aliasing routine. Camera and lights
now work inside spheres. Implemented planes.
03/2/2000
Recursive reflections. Rewrote the anti-aliasing routine
since it had logical bugs.
31/1/2000
Multiple lights and shadows. Support for colored lights,
diffusion levels and colored surfaces.
24/1/2000
Diffusive shading and anti-aliasing.
23/1/2000
This was the very first image produced. It has the very
basic structure to it.
