bl33h / axolotlslikepicklesraytracing

A raytracing graphics app with a resource manager, skybox rendering, and precise sphere representation through ray intersections. An axolotl and two pickles take place in the scene.

axolotlsLikePicklesRaytracing

It's a graphics application showcasing raytracing techniques. The project includes the implementation of a resource manager for handling image loading and rendering, rendering of a skybox based on a provided texture file, and representation of spheres with ray intersection calculations.
