The Distillery

"The Distillery" is a computeranimated film exclusively rendered with Coffeetracer, a raytracing system enhancement supporting advanced rendering techniques such as soft shadows, ambient occlusion, depth of field and path tracing to achieve global illumination. Furthermore Coffeetracer features a Photon-Mapping-based approach for rendering caustics. "The Distillery" was produced to show all these techniques applied to a scene. The scene itself was modelled using Maxon Cinema 4d. All models from the generated scene files were then exported as obj and integrated in the raytracing system's own scene description file. The project was done in the context of a computer graphics lecture at ETH.
