GPU-Raytracer is a high-performance, real-time ray tracing engine implemented using OpenGL compute shaders. It demonstrates the power of modern GPU architectures to handle complex lighting calculations, reflections, shadows, and global illumination in real-time. This project is educational and experimental, providing insight into GPU parallelism and real-time rendering techniques. Its clean and modular C++ structure makes it a great reference for students and graphics developers alike.
