This Ray Tracer is a project exploring the world of ray tracing, a rendering technique that simulates the path of light to create realistic images. It uses a combination of algorithms and mathematics to accurately model the behavior of light as it interacts with various objects in a scene🎨🌟.

Rendering Capabilities:
- 🌐 Spheres: Render realistic spheres with smooth shading.
- 🏞️ Planes ️: Create flat surfaces with precise reflections.
- 🌀 Cylinders: Generate cylinders with optional gradient effects for visual appeal.
- 🔺 Triangles: Implement efficient triangle rendering for diverse shapes.
Enhanced Visual Effects:
- 🌈 Gradient Shading on Spheres and Cylinders: Add depth and realism to your scenes with gradual color variations.
- 🏁 Checkboard Patterns on Planes: Showcase the power of ray tracing by creating checkerboard patterns on planar surfaces.
