Objective:

The goal of this project is to generate a program that will realistically render a scene by tracing the rays from the camera into the scene, ie Ray Tracing. Also, higher order effect such as caustics will be implemented. In this we assume that most of the light interaction is secular. Thus this render is good for shiny/mirror objects but is poor for diffuse-diffuse interactions.
