CS 5620/6620 - Fall 2025 - Rendering with Ray Tracing

Final Project - Teapot Rendering Competition

This is the final project. There is no requirement for adding new features to your ray tracers, but you should consider adding some of the missing features from the previous projects (see optional feature suggestions of the previous projects).

Requirements

Design one or more original scenes, each including at least one Utah teapot, and render using the renderer you have developed in this course.
Try to demonstrate the technical capabilities of your renderer with visually pleasing images/videos.
Present your images/videos at the Teapot Rendering Competition.
Collaborations with others for preparing the original scenes are permitted and encouraged.
You can use any software for designing the scene, but the final results must be rendered using the renderer you have developed in this course.
Post editing for images and videos are permitted, as long as they are limited to color corrections, cropping, and fading between scenes (for videos).
