  • RayTracer

    A ray tracing program

  • And this one: https://github.com/aromanro/RayTracer is with ray tracing, not using opengl, but it illustrates spheres that are 'really' spheres, that is, not made out of polygons. In principle such thing could be done with opengl as well (or some variation of it).
