Final Rendered Image
This images uses adaptive antialiasing, reflections, refractions, soft shadows and convex quadrilateral inverse mapping.
The image quality is off due to the conversion from a ppm to a jpg. I'll have to reconvert the image.
Here we can see that the hit test for the ellipsoid is working, but the shading is off. This
leads us to believe that there is a normal issue
The problem with the normal was that I was dividing by 2 instead of 2A.
The above image shows inverse spherical mapping working
The above image shows both inverse spherical mapping and convex quadrilateral inverse mapping working.
The above two images show some of the problems that I had with the bump mapping. On examining the
images you can see that there are spots that are bumping correctly and other spots that are inverted.
To get Bump Mapping working in the image to the left I ended up using matrix multiplication to
rotate the surface normal.
This image was rendered without adaptive antialiasing.
This image was rendered with adaptive antialiasing.
