MiniRT

This is the second graphics project at 42, our first RayTracer with miniLibX.

What is miniRT?

It is a team project at 42 that asks us to create a RayTracing engine with miniLibX. The Ray Tracing method, developed for the first time in 1968 (but improved upon since) is even today more expensive in computation than the Rasterization method. As a result, it is not yet fully adapted to real time use-cases but it produce a much higher degree of visual realism.
