Overview

This assignment implements a comprehensive path tracer that renders physically accurate images by simulating the behavior of light transport. The implementation progresses from basic ray tracing foundations to advanced global illumination techniques with performance optimizations.

Overview

This assignment provides a comprehensive exploration of geometric modeling and mesh processing, implementing fundamental algorithms that form the backbone of modern computer graphics applications. The project spans two major areas: parametric curve and surface representation through Bezier curves, and triangle mesh manipulation using half-edge data structures.
