Final Product

Hey everyone, I feel very good about finishing this project (even if I did have to use a week's worth of late days!) While completing this, I learned a ton of vector math, C++ programming and got to know a fellow grad student better, Nate Gaunt. Here's what I've got:

specular reflection coefficient (ks) = 0.5
No clamping Needed

This is without clamping the overflow values - noticed the distortion on the specular highlight
specular reflection coefficient (ks) = 1.0

So, I would like to calculate the correct normal on my triangles; I'm pretty sure that's why no light is reaching it. Also, the images are rendered upside down (like a real pinhole camera!) This would be something good to change. Even after inverting the image, I'm still a little unclear of why the specular highlights aren't directly facing the camera - I'm pretty sure they should be.

real 0m25.019s
user 0m2.550s
sys 0m0.300s

25 seconds to compile! I have about 20 .h files and about 5 .cpp files, all of which are including each other. Good thing I used #ifndef __CLASS__ and #define __CLASS__ checks.

Only 20 seconds to run. This is on a old P4 running a crappy kernel (I need to build a new one; genkernal = slow).
