I hope you'll have some time to document your discoveries about coding your
raytracer and BRDF model(s), but especially the parser part.  There are several
of us here that are intensely interested in all of that.


(Also, this seems an opportune time to recall a scene that several of us
remember, but none of us can find again:  someone wrote an SDL file to render a
keyword-colored SDL file (text {} objects), and sort of had to write their own
parser in the process.  I hope someday that someone will be able to find that
again.)
