A raytracer made in C

• Multithreading
• Variable resolution
• Objects: spheres, cylinders, triangles, squares, planes
• Multiple spot lights
• Ambient lighting
• Multicamera
• Camera movement and rotation using keyboard
• Camera rotation with right click
• Camera filters: b&w, sepia, negative, gamma
• Object selection and movement
• Save bmp image of any scene
• Scene map error handling

1. Run make in the root directory.
2. Write your scene.rt file or use any of the already available test scenes in /scenes.
3. Run ./miniRT yourscene.rt.

• It can have any name but it must end in ".rt".

• Each element can be separated by one or more spaces/tabs

• Each element can be separated by one or more linebreaks

• Elements defined by a capital letter can only be declared once in the scene

• Each element first's information is the type identifier followed by all specific information for each object in the following strict order:
