REAL TIME RAY TRACING WITH GEOMETRIC PRIMITIVES USING OPENGL

Computer graphics is a branch of computer science that is widely used in the real world. One application of computer graphics is in the field of real time rendering. Real time rendering allows a 3D scene to be rendered realistically. One of the real time rendering techniques that is currently most widely used is ray tracing. By using ray tracing the shadow and lighting effects will become more realistic. Ray tracing has a side effect, namely the calculation process is quite long. In this paper, we will discuss how the implementation of ray tracing techniques is used on several primitive geometries using OpenGL. We hope that by reading this paper readers can better understand the advantages and benefits of ray tracing techniques in the field of computer graphics.
