Tasks

Task 1 (20%): Generate rays
Task 2 (20%): Compute Intersection between ray and the triangles
Task 3 (20%): Determine the normal direction of the intersection point using Barycentric coordinates.
Task 4 (15%): Determine the color of the ray via diffuse, specular and ambient lights
Task 5 (20%): Cast shadow rays and determine if the point is inside a shadow
Task 6 (5%): Create your own *.RT file.
