CS6620 - Ray Tracing for Graphics

Project 6 - Bounding Volume Hierarchy.

Results

Before I implemented the BVH, my render was taking 3:41. After adding the BVH, I was able to remove two minutes of render time, for a rendering time of 1:48. I still feel like this is much too long. I will be working on figuring out where this slow down is occurring and hopefully solve the problem.
