This project is originally an Eclipse project. It includes two packages; supporting math, data types, and classes are in the graphicsMath package, the Ray Tracing methods and Main Method are in the raytracing package.
To run the ray tracer, run the Driver class. This class includes several pre-built scenes that can be ran by switching the method call in the main method. If the scene is rendering slowly, a quick fix for a preview scene would be to switch the step variable in the scene method to a larger number, such as 2.
