PGENLib.PathTracer Class Reference

The algorithm implemented here allows the caller to tune number of rays thrown at each iteration, as well as the maximum depth. It implements Russian roulette to reduce the number of recursive calls.

Pcg	Random number generator
NumbOfRays	Number of rays to be fired at each iteration
MaxDepth	Maximum number of reflections for any ray
RussianRouletteLimit	Minimum number of reflections for the Russian Roulette algorith to start
