A C++ rendering project featuring ray marching, camera controls, CSG operations, and shader/texture integration.
Designed as a learning and experimentation project for graphics programming and real-time rendering techniques.
This repository implements a renderer based on ray marching and implicit geometry, with support for advanced visual effects and procedural content generation.
The project focuses on building a strong foundation in 3D math, rendering algorithms, and shader-based effects, while remaining modular and extensible.
