Course Notes

• Christiaan Gribble: Integer Ray Tracing
  • The techniques described in these notes have been implemented in tangere, an open source, cross-platform, template-based integer/floating-point, Whitted-style ray tracing system. tangere is intended to serve as a testbed for additional enhancements and further experimentation with integer ray tracing techniques.
  • The most recent stable release is available at:
  • http://www.rtvtk.org/~cgribble/research/tangere/tangere-dist-20130729.tgz
  • Additionally, read-only access to the tangere development repository is available via HTTP with git:
  • git clone http://www.rtvtk.org/code/tangere.git
  • The README includes instructions for building and running tangere on *NIX and Windows systems. The source code is distributed under the Apache License, version 2.0; please see the LICENSE file that accompanies the source distribution for details.
